Vintage shots from days gone by!

This thread goes so good with my morning coffee. Thanks for sharing these fabulous photos!! Great way to start the day!

 

wonerful pics, how many of us look at the crashed mer and say i ca fix that. more if you got em.

 

Thought I'd scan and post a few more from my fathers carpet store. These pictures were originally posted on a wall in the store showing how some of the customers had hauled their purchase home.










This was always one of my favorites. Can you imagine doing this today with a Charger Daytona


Another of my favorites. On the way to the Portland Roadster Show circa 1970.

 

Here's one from 1961 when good friends Gary and Pam got married.

 

Super, those are great! Thanks,-MIKE

 

I remember having one of those, I believe it used the styrofoam sheets.

 

Good God...I can think of so many different responses to that sign!

So that's what happened to all the Ramblers.

 

Looks like multnomah falls on the columbia east of portland on 84.

Looks like a train derailment. Ouch! Years ago when I worked at a vocational school we got a couple of nice Mopars from incidents like that.

 

Definitely a train derailment,autoracks full of AMCs off the tracks.

 

Even though most of the photos on this thread have been scenic, I thought I'd post a few I have of family from back when...

My grandparents, 1952


My dads' uncles and my grandfather (far right)


My uncle, my grandfather, my dad


My grandfather (left) and a friend

 

A couple that I'm sure Portland area people will recognize.

 

While we're on the topic of family, my Mom and Dad, about 1935.
