Vintage shots from days gone by!

Mazooma! Imagine what THREE in NEW condition would bring today!

 

He's sayin', "Yeah! That's right!"


RoadKill, these cars for kids' enjoyment are fab! I'd have killed to have one of these back then!!!






Ultra-rare '58 DeSoto!

 

Dog427, yet again, you are awesome, man! This one's
unusual. Anybody know what that grille shell is telling us?

 

Looks like Bowman Gray Stadium. Wendell Scott leading Glenn Wood.

 

How about a bunch....

 

Creative industries in Detroit took production cars and made them into Superbirds and Daytonas for Chrysler Corporation. Along with many other short production run special jobs like these little cars in 1965.

 

PONTIAC

 

1950s Avro Arrow

 

1956 Corvette Impala

 

"SHE ACE" this was one of my favourite cars at Adelaide Internatioal Raceway in the early 1970's

 

Hyden, KY 1949

 

I have never seen cars hauled this way and could this be the reason they were such a POS.

 

Freer, TX 1937

 

Rochester, MN 1939 - Zumbro Hotel

 

Walnut Street, Muncie, Indiana

 

Honey, why do all of our friends think I'm gay?

 

Holy Batman, is that Ricky Nelson trying to get it right in post #8891???

 

Yup, Ricky Nelson. He's getting a new stage routine ready.
And, referencing remark #8891 above, I rather doubt that his friends
thought he was gay.

 

I wondered the same thing. I assume they were shipped minus fluids? I can't imagine the mess if they weren't.

Wow

 

One-barrel GOW-job with Flintstone brakes, eh, Tee??? LOL

(That Fronty special has NOTHIN' on this young gear-head!)

 

Just my impression, but I did see Elvis on the Sullivan Show, and Ricky on his dad's show (never a "stage" performance, though). Though Rick was athletic (and more of a tough than the public record shows), I don't think he usually went in for the same delivery and gyrations Elvis was known for.

Again, my opinion, but I don't think the young fella aping Elvis above is Ricky Nelson. Just a typical young person of the later 1950s trying to emulate what was, then THE epitome of COOL. (Hell, Elvis was bigger than Davy Crockett! LOL)
