Vintage shots from days gone by!

Well, you have to let the peasants in town every now and then.............

Doc.

 

Tell me about it, had a 29 Chevy 2 door sedan like that, had more wood glue & filler in it than steel!!!

 

Ok, can you explain to a poor old ignorant Limey(!), what's the significance of the buttons "Silver Dollar Man"??

& are these guys saying, "Aw, c'mon down Zeke, we gotta get goin' in the parade!"??

 

When I first saw this, I thought "Is this guy taking a whiz on the side of that car?"

 

**For the HAMBers that want to go back to the good old days,
this is what a lot of the roads were like.

 

Here's another Raymond Loewy design. The streamlined Art Deco styled shell of the locomotive was designed by Raymond Loewy. The S1 was completed January 31, 1939 and was assigned locomotive number 6100. It was the largest express passenger locomotive ever constructed, with an overall length was 140 feet 2½ inches (42.74 m). At 77 feet (23 m) long and a weight of 97,600 pounds (44.3 t), the cast steel locomotive bed plate made by General Steel Castings was the largest single-piece casting ever made for a locomotive application.
The boiler unit for the S1 was the largest built by the Pennsylvania Railroad. The six-wheel leading and trailing trucks were added, as the locomotive's design became too heavy for four-wheel units. However, the locomotive was still overweight by a significant margin. The final construction cost for the S1 was $669,780.00.

Same routine, 59 years ago...

 

THANKS, Harm'sWay! I sure didn't remember it being so early, so the cutline showing 1936 is great to have! I wish ALL old pix came with JUST ONE LINE on the back stating the what, when, where and WHO, if a person is shown. Wouldn't that be cool? It'd surely be great to know even basics, rather than having to guess or wonder. Thanks again!

 

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's WTF............

 

Damn...that thing was awesome!

I guess that 12'' Dago was a little to much!

 

Weather is nice so I thought I'd start my latest project. Not sure where I'm going with this one.

 

So far so good. Taking a lunch break right now.

 

Decided on a roadster PU.

 

Corbin, Ky. 1929...

 

Still operating, as the Sanders Cafe and a KFC. Where KFC was born, although I understand the first franchisee was in the midwest somewhere. On U.S. 25W in Corbin, Ky...

 

Saloon Alley, Corbin, Ky. 1906. Corbin and Whitley County have been "dry" for some time, although restaurants have been allowed to serve alcohol since an election a few years back...
