Vintage shots from days gone by!

When I see this shot I see route 20 and I think back when this was the route to Indy from Boston

 

Another new high school yearbook selection, this time from McMinnville, Tennessee:











More as I find 'em. Thanks to all the other posters!

Craig Breedlove ?

 

Is that a mouse?

 

I reckon this is somewhere in the northern hemisphere, so it must be looking East, as the shadows are on the left-hand side of the parked cars meaning the sun must be on the right, i.e. the South.

 

Isn't this Bridgitte Bardot?
Is that her first car?
Not sure about the hat, though!

 

Fine print at bottom says Bardot archive.

I'm not sure what happened here but could this be one of Eddie Meyer's early cars that ran at Legion Ascot?

Thanks Rootie!

 

It is at Ascot, but the driver was Harry Jacques. I don't have any more info but I don't believe it was fatal though it probably didn't do him a whole lot of good.

 

I can honestly say my focus was not on the hat!

 

Thanks, Rootie! Eddie Meyer (Louis Meyer's brother) was based in Redlands, CA and called some of his cars the Redlands Special which is why I asked about this one. Here's a great 2003 article about Eddie as told by his son Bud. And based on the photos I would have to say that the car Jacques crashed at Ascot was likely owned by Eddie.

"Freak snow storm" on the Oregon Technology Institute campus, Klamath Falls, OR. This slide is from Mrs. Kurtz's collection and is dated January 1964. The campus moved closer to town and its name changed to Oregon Institute of Technology not long after this was taken.

 

Yeah Bobby, thanks for the wonderful set of family pics, i really enjoyed!
