Vintage shots from days gone by!

Keith - problems with the red "X" again - it appears posting straight from the "host" is the issue.

Thanks again

 

"Still Life in Vintage Tin With Ferns" by Renoir

(No, seriously, cool shot. LowCat any idea where/when it was shot?)

Whoa, baby! Where's NovaDude? I wonder what the production numbers were on these???

There's one you don't see just every ol' day! TWO elephants! Wonder what the equivalent
horsepower and torque ratings for THIS team would be. I wonder if anybody EVER tried to
calculate it!!! And, I have to wonder what the basic story was here. Looks like a bombed
or shelled building, maybe in France(?).

Holy cats! She'd best be careful, she could
lose her, uh, cell phone on the loops!

I still think Chryco's BUMP collection is BIGGER
than Keith's RED-X collection!

(Hmmmmm?!?! MAYBE, taken together, they might equal
the number of times we've reposted "The Hippie Chick"!)

 

Serious "historical" question here. Naturally, one notices the 15-cent price and the mere
9 million SOLD. But the small print says "Self Serve System." I wasn't AWARE that, in the
BEGINNING, McDonald's actively advertised this aspect of their marketing scheme -- seem-
ingly, literally, differentiating themselves from the trad drive-ins with car hops where you
could eat in your car. One of those INTERESTING little points that would probably not ever
come up, except on this thread!
