Vintage shots from days gone by!

Santa Fe Springs southeast of Los Angeles, had several independent refineries
in the 20's through the 70's

Fire crew

 

Frame and running gear is pre war Crosley..Wisconsin engine; be curious if it has a transmission as Crosley rear ratio is 5.44....

 

Smooth operator!....the old ''carburetor adjustment'' maneuver!...haha....too funny!

 

Also---Culver City was neat too----Remember ol' "Termite Snyder"??

 

OH SHIT!!-----My boyfriend is gonna' be pissed!!!

 

Sometimes ya' just gotta smile at the ingenuity back in the day!

 

This was no fender bender by the looks of the car. Looks like a roll-over to me...

 

And didn't even get a run in her hose .

I have been in the Auto Body business over 50 years , They often use the excuse " There was a Puppy in the road , I had to swerve to save it's life " or something close to that, or " some jerk cut me off and just kept going " they'll never admit to checking / fixing their makeup or messing with the radio etc. now the real culprit is a Cell Phone

 

I don't think that this woman was in the car at time of the wreck. She would be in far worse shape considering the condition of the car. I think she might be grieving over the driver.

 

I wonder....is this rock off of the northern Oregon Coast???

 

Don't even get me started about those inconsiderate SOB's.

I think that rock is part of the Haystacks , yes Oregon Coast .

 

Yessir.

 

This is what I'm thinking.

 

Looks like a Wills St Clair touring car that the horse in jumping over.
