Vintage shots from days gone by!

I am not a Hupmobile expert, going by the caption from the Pasadena Digital History Collaboration...so what is it?

 

Wreck on the Arroyo Parkway...good to know that the writing on the photo won't appear ):

That's kind of like thumbing through a boating magazine and seeing all these pics of boats with multiple bikini clad females hanging off them. Then you go to the boat store and find the boats don't come stock that way. Nor are the women offered as as option. So disappointing.

 

still the best roller coaster in los angeles

 

Where is/was the Arroyo Parkway in NYC? Never heard of it in NY

 

Not intending to divert this thread too far off the rails.
Johnny, this picture and your description are correct.
The photo @loudbang posted clearly shows the long trim and everything I stated earlier.
The only thing not easily identifieable in his photo is the quarter panel straight on.
I'm sure that your eyes are better than mine but until someone produces an enlarged photo I'm sticking to my original observations.

 

And no chrome moulds along the sills.

The interesting thing is the "Chrysler Forward Look" mirror mounted on the dash

 

NYC library but i took it as from pasadena / los angeles

As a matter of fact I have. My car was a barn find before it was popular.

 

At the time of the '' two headed driver'', when the girlfriend was sitting right alongside the driver, I withness many times that the Lady stay in the car, she had a new boyfriend everytime the car was sold............

 

It is more like a 1916 Hupmobile.

Perhaps it's just me but it looks like something bad is falling out of the bottom of this car. The rifle hanging from the cowl is a nice touch...

 

I reckon it is a Hup - but earlier - 1916 or 1917.

 

Too bad there's no "truth in advertising." Not even a "serving suggestion" in small print.

 

Gets factory Honda Motocross sponsor a couple years later ,

 

Fairly new 67 or 8 Dodge Polara.Note the lower quarters are not rotten yet.

 

1967 = no side marker lights
1968 = round side marker lights

 

My family had on of those back in the early 50's.One of the earliest cars I remember as I was probably only 3 or 4
years old. of course at that age I didn't realize how ugly it was!!!

 

And the Award for..Unnecessarily Complex Solution for a Problem that Doesn't Exist goes to......

 

I'll bet the first bleach box burn out was exciting! Should you cover your ears or your eyes first?

 

That's right, we bad. Gary
