    I have seen this picture posted here several times and always wondered who they are, what happened to them and [​IMG]where is the car. Anyone here know ?

    I don't know who they are, but it seems like I saw a picture of the same guys, same pose taken "recently" and posted somewhere, maybe on here.

    Hello,

    The above photo is different... Different car for sure, Ford vs Plymouth or Dodge? It was a nice copy, but if they were the real guys, at least they would get the right Ford Coupe. Nice try, but coming in close "only counts in horseshoes..." YRMV

    Jnaki

    Gee, as old folks, we certainly have changed, but not that much... it is just old age syndrome...

    I'm just posting what I found on twitter that says it's the same guys. Don't know for sure, but that is the picture I have seen in the past.

    I'm guessing that it's them and that the old car wasn't available.

    The bottom pic with the old fellers is a 32 Chevy, the top is obviously a Model A.

    Can't tell by the photo for sure but it looks by the quarter belt line that it could be a 32 Pontiac or Olds.

    All I know is the guy in the short sleeve shirt must be tougher than the others who appear to be cold with jackets on.

    I thought it was the other way around. The tough guys always wore the jacket?

    If it's the same guys, I think maybe the 2 in the middle are swapped from the old pic to the new pic.

    ...So, the mystery continues. Surely someone knows the back story about this image and who the guys were. I love a good mystery, but it is frustrating when it can't be solved.:(
