History Sunday “Clean out” of some random historical “love note” photos

I thought that might be that car, but wasn’t sure. That is one of the cars that’s never left my mind, one of the most beautiful cars I’ve ever seen. And as recently as the 90’s? it’s still around? I remember seeing an article in RC maybe about it surviving. Always loved that car.

 

The "Golden Age" of customs were very good days.

 

Is that James Deans Porsche Spider in the 'wreck' display?

 

Thanks

 

That crap happens to those of us who post a ton of photos all the time every once in a while. Usually if you try to edit the post. Not a biggie,
thanks for sharing the photos.

 

Pretty cars, pretty women. Some things don't need to change. Thank you for posting.

 

Man...Germ doesn't pop in often but when he does...Boy Howdy! Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

 

@Moriarity, check out the Vette

 

Thank you for sharing, important history.

 

Having access to these pics is priceless. Thanks for posting.

 

Cool stuff man !!!

 

Yep, it sure is

 

Growing up in Compton/Lynwood, I enjoyed the photos and recognize some of the backgrounds.....Thanks...

 

It’s crazy because some of the backgrounds and architecture still share the same resemblance.

 

yes! That is an original picture of the car that was taken I believe in Florida at the last show it was displayed at before it disappeared on its way to the next show in Arizona. There’s way more to the story, but it never made it to Florida.

 

I don’t know how to tag the moderator guy who likes Corvettes but I have some more pictures of Kustom Vettes that I could dig out. In my travels I purchased another collection of photos when I went to Pittsburgh to pick up the 1941 Indian. I met a guy named Lloyd Dreyer who had a collection that someone in his family had. There was some East Coast flavors dating back to the 1950s and lots of stuff that seemed to be from Ohio. I saved the trophy’s from the trash, believe it or not. -germ

 

and just to cover the 'show me yours, I'll show you mine', here's his recent thread.

you gotta keep em separated
that back seat
what a crazy interior

thanks for sharing

 

If I squint hard enough, this one reminds me of @Bullet Nose fleetline.

Neat stuff! Thanks for sharing.

 

This thread is a poem...timeless really...without words...it sure highlights the saying that it would have been great to capture many of these moments in the flesh but I'll take these images as the alternative with the history generated in word. I have been in and of late but this is why the Hamb never disappoints...the membership and priceless content shared...thanks @Germ this stuff causes the eyes to see double and a second pass of the Thread would be the least of one's trouble...Happy Friday...live fast die hard comes to mind too...comes with the territory many times so too speak...damn...the ladies were Hot!!!

 

There's a lanky Lincoln in one of those images that I'll bet caught your eye as well not to mention so many other things...this is a perfect example of how Hotrod/Custom feeds off one another...without it, it is lesser...as @Moriarity...and @corncobcoupe say...Bitchen!!...

 

Germ, thanks these photos brought a smile to my face!

 

You know the old saying...Ya learn a new thing every day, it certainly has a 60's ring to it...and beyond...Happy Friday Hamber...
