Vintage shots from days gone by!

Father home on leave after his cruiser was sank by torpedoes in the Pacific. He spent the last year of the war stationed at the Chicago Pier. Also, when we first brought the Crosley home.

 

How do you know what His wife looks like all dressed up ?????

 

Another hero, thanks to your father for his service.

 

Where was there a black Camaro in that movie? I have seen it several times because we like it and I can't think of a Camaro in it. Maybe I missed something...

 

Dang that is some strong lamp post that stopped that beast

 

But the rest of the world called it WWII.

Why not the US..

 

Yo Empire, how about an intro before jumpin in and flappin yer jaws..
There is a Introduction thread, rules are you do that as your 1st post.

 

This is turning into one of my favorite threads.

 

You're right Novadude55.

Sorry about the eagerness to jump in.

I'll be in the Introduction file first, well, second..

 

A few shots of my Great Grandfather. He was a Texaco delivery driver for many years. He is on the hard left in the group shot. My grandmother tells me he really liked his Oldsmobile. I think all these shots were taken in Holyoke Mass

 

Great shots of days ago! So many good pictures on this thread and what makes some of them even better is the provenance that some can provide.

That and the front ends of the 49-54 Chevrolet's are weak, the frame stops at the radiator and it's just the bumper arms going out farther then that for structure, it would act like a crumple zone though.

It's so cold and it's been raining/snowing so long, I'm pineing for a vacation...

 

Man those cars are junk but that is a horrible way to ruin a really nice old train

 

I still have one of those Yellow battery operated tether cars in perfect condition....WOW

 

It would help if you referenced the post # or something,

 

So I'm looking thru a copy of the 1931 Saturday Evening Post & saw this ad:

​

Crank up the way-back machine, I'm goin' back for a truck-load of these old batteries!​

 

But just remember, at that time, a working man would have had to work One and One-Half Days, just to pay for that one battery for $7.50. Russ
