Vintage shots from days gone by!

Been there and yes that made the low pay worth it for the day.

 

I like the "T" also. The Mustang made me throw up in my mouth!

As thin skinned some of you guys are you would never have survived the 60's! That Mustang was mild compared to some of the stuff we've seen.

 

Ah, those were the days.

 

And in reality he probably got drafted ten years later and sent to Vietnam to do that for real.

 

31 or 32 chrysler

 

Haha, I did survive the sixties and I can honestly say that I have never seen anything quite like THAT!!!! What the Fu...heck is that on that Mustang, some kind of cloth cover?? Only thing that looks kinda good is the stock hubcaps, and I didn't like them in '66.

 

Guys, the Mustang is decorated for a parade....

 

What's decorated as, a Camaro, hahahahahahahaha!

 

That wheel must be the automotive version of the sword in the stone

 

In an hour I could be across the state line. They can't catch me in that Heep...and then Freedom!

 

Hmmm, parts cars! Thanks for the pics.

 

Seeing all those before and afters of Atlanta makes me think, "Am I the only one that thinks the before pictures are clearly better. All the after shots are downright depressing. Progress has taken us backwards"

Construction of a portion of the new Pierce Motor Works plant on Elmwood Avenue in 1906.
This portion would provide 250,000 square feet of space and was erected by theTrussed Concrete Steel Co., of Detroit. It was made
of reinforced concrete and hollow tile, using the Kahn system.

The completed complex would occupy 15 acres of land adjacent to the New York Central Belt Line tracks. Total
square feet were 1,016,400. At one time, 10,000 were employed crafting the expensive Pierce-Arrow automobiles.


The plant complex viewed from the corner of Elmwood and Great Arrow, c. 1910.
Facing Elmwood Avenue was the administration building, designed by Buffalo architect George Cary, with 135,000 square feet
of space.


The same view in 2005.
The Pierce Arrow Company went bankrupt in 1938. The complex has been subdivided over the years to provide affordable space
for many small companies and organizations, including Erie County Technical Institute (pre-Erie Community College). In November,
2005, the newly-organized Pierce-Arrow Holdings LLC, owned by Joseph Hecht, purchased the administration building with the intent
of creating loft apartments on the third floor.

 

Man, I was thinking the same thing...

 

Hahaha! Reminds me of when some friends and I did this when we were kids...only we used BB guns!

 

You'll put your eye out!

 

?
I was drafted and sent to Viet Nam and I didn't do that for real.
