Vintage shots from days gone by!

First one is a Hudson Suoer Six in Wash. DC
Middle one I love the "come hither" look.
Last one in DC as well.

 

Don't know the plane in the fore ground but I'd like to see more of it.
The one in back is a DC-2, you don't see many of those, The landing lights in the nose differentiates it from the later more popular DC-3.

 

To be a kid in 1959!

Lucky guy has a 1959 Thunderbird Junior just like the one used in the magazine ad that year.

 

some more

 

i don't think a lot of guys wont to see a bunch of old women in swimsuits!

 

One of the planes involved in the Air race from Uk to Aus in 1934......

What's odd about that?

 

Detriot 4-24-66

 

Found one more...........

 

Gary Gabelich with a model of his LSR car in 1971.....

 

Wish that woodie was a little clearer, looks like a 1 ton model.

 

1947..... Life before Starbucks...... Coffee 5 cents.....

 

Looks like an Aeronca Chief or Aeronca Champ.

 

The plane in front is "The Irish Swoop". It was designed by Al Mooney when he worked for Bellanca. It was entered in the MacPherson race to Australia. It did not start the race.

 

I think the De havilland Comet won that one. Correct?

 

if anyone wants to see some really neat, local photos from their area; hit up the local book store. They have a new series out and the books are all from local towns in your area and filled with history, stories, and photos. The books represent single towns per book and they are published all over the country.

 

Champ! Dad bought it 10 years old in '55 for $1000.

 

This one? Looks like it! Al Mooney did make some clean designs.

 

You are right. Many of the large threads here contain many pages of broken links resulting in wasted HAMB resources.

 

Not sure of the time.... or the type of cars..

 

Culver V! Also an Al Mooney design. Very nice little airplane! A fellow in Fresno has one of these, the interior is beautiful! Very "Art Deco".



Culver Cadet, the fore runner of the V.
