Vintage shots from days gone by!

Glen Park, Williamsville NY

 

This is HOT

 

The diner and the cars in the river are both from the Seattle area

 

This 1946 Harley Big Twin has a B&H Footshifter. My dad bought all the footshifters that the manufacturer had in stock

 

what is that thing in the car.. a monkee

 

North By Northwest / 1959

.

 

I've been down Highway 41 from border to border and never found a locatation called Prarie Stop. Supposed to be 45 miles south of Chicago. Do you think they just made that name up for the movie maybe??

 

I zoomed in on this photo of a 1939 chevy parts counter to get the detail but can not stitch it back together. Can someone do that for everyone to enjoy

 

Some more random images to enjoy.

 

And more

 

yet more

 

Of course. These scenes were actually shot on location on Garces Highway (155) near the towns of Wasco and Delano, north of Bakersfield, CA. The NY scenes supposedly on Long Island were actually on the CA coast.

Is that Lilly Tomlin?

 

In the picture with Amelia I believe the fellow standing next to her is Wiley Post.

 

Illinois flatland's aren't that flat! That looks like California desert to me!

I have a documentary on that film and pretty much all the locations were identified where they shot the scenes. Guess I have to check it out unless there is a HAMB'r on this board who knows because his Dad worked with Hitchcock in the 50's....

 

How about I blow you away again with a trick I know, which is how to get the giant picture from some websites

 

Looks like my friends garage... but he has more NOS parts then this place...!

 

Or you could read my post a few spaces up on 1543 and find out just where it is.

 

New York City 1941 and 1942 by Charles Weever Cushman
​

 

Wonderful picture !!
How about sharing that trick with us ??

 

You are correct. That is Wiley Post next to Amelia, with the eye patch. He was the first to solo around the world and
invented the first pressure suit. Who is the handsome dude to his left? Also in this shot with his trophies?
Thanks for the pics Roadkill!

 

My sister-in-law and her late husband. 1972?

 

Love this shot, YellerSpirit! Hey, everybody. Is that 2DR a '33 or a '34? The railing throws me.




RoadKill, THANKS for the location on the diner and the cars in the river bank! Pix just seem
more meaningful when one knows where and about when they were shot.
