Vintage shots from days gone by!

More, yet, from Atlanta:


Hodges Appliance, Flat Shoals at Glenwood Road, 1952.


Hodges, again.


Construction of the "Downtown Connector" (I-75/85), by the Georgia Tech campus, 1949. Those old dormitory buildings are still there, but I understand they now have air conditioning (they didn't when I lived there, in 1970-71).


1244 Clairmont Road, near Emory University, about 1959 (judging by the plate on the car at right).


Retail businesses in the Kirkwood neighborhood, 1940s.


Construction equipment supplier at 1503 Northside Drive, 1955.

 

Dude! I'd get some genetic testing done on that kid - I don't think he's YOURS!

 

Anyone know of it's whereabouts today ?

 

I've been following this thread since the beginning, but it's impossible to remember what has been posted, by me, or by others. Anyone know if photos from Sunset Drag Strip have ever been posted?
Here's a couple shots from opening day in 1959.

 

A couple of shots from Nashville Tn. 1963
New vehicles coming in Radnor Yard station.
Afternoon paper just printed, delivering terrible news.

Why is the windshield so high? Is this some sort of tractor or other purpose-built contraption? It looks like they have a gravity fuel tank set up, and decided they didn't need fenders.

 

Google image search gives 2 entries for this site. July 14, 2008 and October 7,2011. I didn't bother doing a full seach for what page on the HAMB they were, but the short answer to you is "YES"

Thanks Rod.

Cannes, France. Been there a few times. The boulevard hasn't changed to much.

 

Aw look, it's little Ross Perot.

Not what you'd call a 'vintage shot from days gone by' given it was taken at some point in the past 3 years

 

Hell of a way to do an oil change.

 

I used to run at Sunset Strip in the late fifties and early sixties in g/gas class. It was a one eighth mile with a short stopping distance. It was a fun place to race and brings back a lot memories.
