Vintage shots from days gone by!

What is the one on the right end? A '36 Zephyr sedan with the sealed beam conversion?

 

BIG THANKS there, RoadKill! ALL great shots, back when these cars and parts would have been GREAT to have for a build! I liked the 2 Chry/DeS AirFlows in the one shot, and in another pic, it surely appears to be a V-12 Zephyr. Good stuff. PLEASE show more OLD junkyard shots, any time you run across them, bro!

 

'wouldn't it be nice if they could be all be present day junkyards'... that would be great! (somebody should write a song about that.)

 

Le me stoke the fire a bit more.

 

Poke, Poke

 

Pass the marshmallows please.

I gave my secret to Mofuzz and we have not heard from him since. I am afraid of what has become of him and don't want that to happen to anyone else.
Sit back and enjoy!

First picture should get some drooling.

 

Ok If you won't share I will just use my own method to find your source of images

It is actually a couple hundred sources. But that's a neat one also.

These American Bantams are too cool for words. Just a FUN post of great images from the New York Public Library. If any hard-working associate at the library is seeing this, THANK YOU!

 

This would have to be one of my favourite pictures

 

"take that"

 

There once was a man from Boston
Who drove an American Austin
There was room for his ass and a gallon of gas
But his balls hung out and he lost 'em

 

Here's a few of Alex Tremulis' Bantam proposals. Drawn around 1940, they include the Hollywood and the Riviera, a coupe, and a Supercharged rear-engine Bantam.









Roy Evans, president of American Bantam, paid a visit to Custom Motors in Beverly Hills. Tremulis was there customizing cars for Eleanor Powell and Evans wanted Tremulis to turn his coupe into a convertible for a possible new model. Tremulis cut it up and drove it back to Butler, Pa. On the way, he stopped off for some family pics. Here he is on his cross-country road trip in 1940 with the first Bantam Hollywood. Years later, the car was found, and the owner called Alex to verify that it was his prototype. Alex instructed him to look at the top bows for a repair made of hickory. Sure enough, it was the repair job that Alex had done when he rolled it after falling asleep at the wheel. It's now been fully restored and rests in a museum surrounded by microcars...

 

Hugh Hefner was spot on with the saying "the girl next door look". That my friends is what good looking is!!!. Not what ever it is going on today.

 

Communing with nature in his crude way.

 

You giys seem to like salvage yards best so let me toss this group out here.
