Vintage shots from days gone by!

I'm still trying to figure out how the " Goldenrod " ended up at the Henry Ford Museum. Then again, they also have Ohio George's 33 Willys on exhibit.

 

Many times the museum exhibiting the item does not own it, but has it "on loan" from another entity. When I worked for the government, I got the Navy to "loan" us one of their mothballed planes to put on display at our facility.

 

Ed Iskendarian = Wild Bill Kelso!

 

This store is still there in Fibre, Michigan... .

 

The "Goldenrod" was on display at and on loan to the Wally Parks NHRA Museum in Pomona, California until about 10 years ago. The family sold it to the Henry Ford.

 

Please guess the year and model
The Original " Oak Ridge Boys working on a new Hot Setup Cure for floating points" Invasion of the Body Snatchers !

 

Here is a couple from my old scrape book. Pete and Jake's coupes.

 

One more with da Kid.

 

This is the farmer, I got my 29 coupe from. I helped him feed his cattle in this 29 . He used it every day on the farm. He sold me my coupe for $100. He told me if I changed my mind I could return it! lol Ron...

 

Florida's Cypress Gardens in the 50's!

 

Vacationing at Miami Beach. The "Ocean Spray" Hotel in the background is still there.

 

It is......well, to be correct, it's a Lotus Type 907 engine, as the Jensen-Healey bit was only the name on the cam covers and nothing else. And so, despite the grainy b/w picture looking like it's from a much earlier decade, has to have been taken after 1972.

 

That wrecker is bad to the bone!

 

The dashboard shots are of a 1938 Plymouth.

 

I was thinking more like a '37 Plymouth...I don't think the '38 had an opening windshield ..( The round crank in the upper center of the dash)....
