VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

There was a Tom Henry Chevrolet in Bakerstown, PA. It is now Jim Shorkey Chevrolet.

 

When I rode it, it was all wood and when it went out over the water and made the hard turn it would actually sway... great ride.

 

1962 - SW Park Ave. & SW Stark St. - Portland Oregon

 

1917 - SW Washington St. & SW 17th Ave. - Portland Oregon

 

1932 - W Burnside & SW 3rd Ave. - Portland Oregon

 

I just pass by as quickly as possible. He meets HAMB requirements. They are just not interesting any more for me kinda like mid 50’s Canadian Fords.

 

The real name was Nu-Pike. We just called it the Pike.

 

Bert Grimm's on Chestnut Avenue at the edge of the Long Beach Pike.

 

I went to the Pike in 1962, and the Cyclone Racer was all wood and pretty scary as were most of the rides by then.
I haven't scanned the inside tickets because I don't want to flatten the spine of the booklet, but each inside ticket is worth 50 cents (one major ride). I didn't get the tickets when I was there, they are a later e-bay purchase, but I have no reason to believe they are not genuine.

I'd drive 'er..... uh.....um....it!

 

Don't know if this sign was worded right or not.

 

I guess she didn't fall for the "We're out of gas" line!
