no milk on board...

 

Norwegian flooded road in the thirties.

 

You know you normally think a city, a country (specifically ours) would improve over time. But looking at these pictures of the past they havent, theyve gotten worse. Become less unique and beautiful and American and more bland, sad and a global feel to it.

 

Its a rare shot of the 40 prototype and the prototypes of other years too.

 

Chevelle, I watched Houston tear down what seemed to be perfectly good buildings and literally "Erase " it's past when I used to manufacture Van accessories in the 70's . Sadly, I watched Dallas do much the same thing in the 80's too..... scrubba

Cars that survive in great numbers are the cars that were popular when they were new and never stopped being popular. Model Ts, Model As, 32 Fords, 40 Fords, 37-38-39 Chevys, 55-57 Chevys, 64 1/2-68 Mustangs, 67-69 Camaros, and so on in diminishing numbers through other makes.
If the car never loses its market, it survives to be built and rebuilt and rebuilt.
