Rare Photos-A Day at the Beach....1955

Awesome pics.......

 

cool pics

 

Yep, thats Norma Jean...

 

My grandpa used to have a dairy about 5 miles inland from Long Beach, CA. He said he could ride his horse there in a few minutes. I bet thats what it looked like back then. He was a street racin farm guy from so cal in the early 60's. These pics help me picture it now. He had a '60 Pontiac Catalina with a 389 and 3 twos, Chrome Reversed wheels, jardine headers, no hood, or front bumper. He had dyno Don Nicholson tune on it too. I'd love to find that car!!!!!! That'd be an heirloom!

 

oh yeah, there aren't any cars in these...oops

 

Thanks for the cool pics.. Grew up in LA and now I miss the ocean.

 

I like that!

 

wonder what happened here??
OOPS PIC DIDNT WORK PG 7 POST#122 CARS WASHED UP ON BEACH

 

Niiice.

 

Just a great thread.....When we were kids we spent time at the Jerzee shore. The good old days for sure !

 

Man I wish I was around back then! Thanks to everyone for posting up the pics!

 

Now THERE is a dedicated surfer!

 

These are super pics, wow------even a gallon of "thunderbird". My---Myyyy.....

 

It wasn't just WW2.

Tin Can (Bolsa Chica) was still covered with litter and, yes, cans, in the 1960s when I began surfing there.

Any serious HB locals remember Hot Water Pipe?

Am I the only one who thinks that the city ruined the cliffs by turning it into Bacteria Beach (dog beach)?

I surf the flats, and park my car on PCH just like always.
Times don't have to change.
An every-day driven 1966 car with 700 horsepower, Alohas, and a fresh Mr. Zog's melt ruining the new OPG carpet kit tells it all for me.
Everything's still the same from my side of the windshield.

some o the coolest fucking pics i've seen in a long time.
hell yes.

 

I,ll 2nd that. The Destination Sign on bus is Hampton Beach.

 

When we first moved down to FL from MI in '77, we lived across the street from this park... As kids we used to ride our bikes over there. It was my mom's favorite place and it's where we held her memorial a few years ago.

 

Nothing like a toasty tire fire.

 

ooooh ya!

 

Nothing like a nice tire fire BBQ. LOL

Great PIX. Thanks for putting them up. Nothing too close to 1955 in the parking lot, is that the date of all the photos? Must b SoCal, right?
