Vintage shots from days gone by!

You made me go dig. Yes it is, in 1952.

 

Now, while Moriarity stops to take a breath... By popular demand (Venom51), more yearbook goodies from Rockdale, TX:














And finally... Rocky says "Go Tigers!"

Having been a tiger mascot myself a long time ago, all I can say is... watch your tail!

That's my job!

 

Awesome! I can't wait to share these with some locals and reminisce!

Thanks Chrisbcritter!

What a great run of photos, Thanks !!

 

More from Ormand beach racing





1908 is the year and Fiat is the make of the car that is going so fast it is slightly distorted in this photo.




Another photo from 1905. This time we see a Mercedes racer being towed down the beach by another car (which also looks like a racer) before making a run.




Driver Ed Thomas is in his Mercedes preparing for a run in 1906. Note the size of the chain on the sprocket and what it could potentially do if it ever came loose and they sometimes did.



Frank Croker in leather jacket looks on as his crew services his 1905 Simplex on the beach.



Here’s a 1908 Cadillac racer.




Here’s a Fiat charging along the beach in the 1905 time frame. Yes there are two heads in that car. The driver and the riding mechanic.



Here’s a row of cars lined up to watch the race cars run in 1908. Pretty awesome to see all of the cars with their tops dropped in the nice Florida weather.



Here’s James Breese circa 1904 sitting in the luxurious confines of his Mercedes car on the beach.

 

Moriarity! Great run of pictures! The cars are great but the people in the pictures put a story behind the car. These truly show "Vintage shots from days gone by".

Kenny Weld???

 

I lived in this hotel in 1994 for about 3 months before I got an apartment nearby El Centro Commercial Costa Verde there in Maracaibo Venezuela.

 

Mark definitely raised the bar, gonna be a hard act to follow that batch.

 

Wheeler, Oregon...not much has changed, if anything it is even quieter nowadays.

 

The new Cove Palisades State Park, gone forever under Lake Billy Chinook.

 

Rootie..Any idea of the date and whose car is on the trailer

 

I believe it's Doc Shanebrook's midget from around 1950.

 

On the beautiful Oregon coast.
There is a really cool antiques/collectibles store in Wheeler, been in it a dozen times over the years.

 

I bought my little ones the coolest toy box from there that someone lovingly made back in the day.

 

" Kansas City Kenny" himself.

 

Rootie.
I have seen the shot of Ernie Triplett with the miniature in his hand before. Info from Revslib indicates it is 2-26-33. I think Legion Ascot, sure looks like Mays in the leather jacket walking behind. What do you think?

 

Pic info says "Americans taking a soviet car for a test drive".

I lived on Hastings Street, on Scarborough Beach, West Australia, it was just one side street up from the beach right behind the Indi. That was part of 2009 and 2010, miss it. Check out the logs these guys rode.
