1952-59 Ford Fords from the past.

Thanks Bleach!!

 

Looks like somebody's noggin spidered the windshield...

 

Ford has a Better Idea ! NOT !! Those jacks were an epic FAIL !

 

Yeah, they didn't work any better on Chevys.(before I saw the light)

 

This is one our late old friend Zapato would have a disagreement with. RIP Zap.

 

A few patrol cars from Minnesota.

 

What is that thing in the right fender?

 

I didn’t find any description of that. Is it part of the radar for speed checks?

 

I don't think so. It appears to be aimed to the side and fixed in that position. It looks more like a loudspeaker for ordering drivers to pull over when the cop pulled alongside. Police radar was in its infancy back then. They were pretty****bersome and were usually operated by one cop from a fixed position like an overpass or rooftop. The cop would radio to a nearby hidden patrol car when a scofflaw was detected.

Edit: I found it, and I was almost right! Scroll down and check the 5th photo from the left.

I think that TomDobbs is the winner!

 

Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in awhile...

 

A salute to our veterans! Thank you!

Most of these photos were from parades in Walla Walla.
Back then the US flag had 48 stars.

looking like a young james cagney (old guys will get it.

 

You Dirty Rat
Does 55 make me an old guy?

 

I never had a red sports coat but I sure had black slacks and white bucks.

 

Visiting for Thanksgiving!

 

I guess the grille is removed for some customization to go along with those fancy wheel covers!

 

But without one you couldn’t get the tire out of the wheel well.

 

YUP!
