VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

We still had these call boxes on the poles in the early '70s in Dearborn....

 

That it does!!!!.....

 

Russ Aves.
He owned that car for almost 70 years. I think he passed in 2019.

 

Many, mostly Torrance and Fountain Vally Ca.

 

Frank sure did it his way!

 

That’s one hell of a lathe. The GE Steam Generation Tubine shop in Schenectady NY had a few long ones like that when I toured the plant in the late 80’s all wood floor. 8 x 8’s on end.

 

You forgot Lincoln and Dale in Anaheim.

 

Looks like Sheldon Cooper!

 

Love that Ford wagon

 

These guys deserve a special thanks. Thank you for your talent and dedication

 

Is she a French Canook?

 

That's a far cry from the photo of a shop a few posts back with line shafts and flat belts.

 

My 2 older brothers had a large Erector set that was passed on to me.
It was one of my favorite "toys". I incorporated it in with my electric trains.
Legos are cool but the erector set with a motor and all the screws with nuts allowed the imagination to go wild.

 

Never mind Shakey's or Burger Chef.
I'll take a Papa burger, basket of fries and a large frosty mug of A&W Root Beer any day.

 

Parts for a couple of homemade skateboards there.

 

Dad had wide whites on everything. I spent a lot of time as a kid scrubbing those white walls before every road trip with an SOS pad.
