Vintage shots from days gone by!

South Bend, Ind. Studebaker plant 1962

 

1939 Terre Haute street car

 

I.m old enough to remember yards that looked like this

 

Here is a soldier and their Henry J

 

Another Henry J date on the back is Sept 1952

 

Junk yard with Goats that eat mohair

 

Just another A sedan This one in British Columbia

 

Now this is a very rare shot It's a z16 chevelle in daily use in British Columbia

 

Cool. I didn't know Studebaker made military trucks. Anyone know what engines they used?

 

"The Scag" was built by local rodder Bob "Mr. Tune-up" Miginley. I believe he still has the grill insert from that car.
Last I saw, He was driving a original paint Ardun powered 32 3window.

 

Is that Jay Leno?

 

Back in the day Studebaker built trucks and I'm sure they used the same power plants in the military vehicle as any other trucks.
I was in the Army back in the mid-sixties and drove a lot of tactical vehicles (MOS=64B20 HVY Veh Operator) Fords, GMCs, Mopars, Willys, REOs, and so on, it's hard to tell who built what, you had to read the data plate for that info.

 

This is just too cool.

 

Rare car. Not just everyone got one in 65. You had to be "somebody" like Hoss Cartright to get a Z16.

 

Nice spot, but Rockford's was at Paradise Cove

 

Glenn...........Thanks again for bringing this thread back to life.
GREAT STUFF !

 

Picturing the Past celebrates St. Patrick’s Day a bit early today with this nod to Murphy’s Law: If you are hauling a load of debris away from a construction site on St. Patrick’s Day, you will drive over that one patch of sidewalk that had all the dirt beneath it swept away by a sewer line break.

At least that’s how things happened for Angelo LaFiora on St. Patrick’s Day, 1936. LaFiora was hauling debris from the old state arsenal at Second and Monroe streets to make way for the current Illinois State Armory when he drove over the hollowed ground concealed beneath the sidewalk. LaFiora wasn’t injured.
