Vintage shots from days gone by!

Not sure if any of these were posted yet... I could check the previous 1915 pages I suppose...

 

Hey guys, I'm still looking for a pic of my Texaco gas station (Norm's Texaco, I could NOT get those hillbillies to call me Norb), from '72-'75 in Mountain Home, Arkansas. It was on the corner of Rt62 and Buzzard Roost rd. (really). It was previously owned by Clark Rawlings from the '40's until 1972. I lost all my photos when I got divorced. I tried the local historical society, etc, but no luck.

 

Some of you here on The HAMB may have been stationed here during the Cold War.

- 38288 looks like a pretty lucky double-exposure to me ...

 

I like this! at least a couple of Aeronca's in there. I wonder where it was taken? and don't say "in the air".

 

Is the guy on the second story ledge at the right corner of the building a window washer?Theres also a guy sitting in the 4Th floor window above him

 

Go on Craigslist for the Arkansas area your station was at and ask for pics .... youd be surprised at the response you get

 

or the same three Aeroncas twice, maybe.

And the tree in most of these photos now. (it fell in 69 possibly due to 2 tons of snow in it's canopy.)

 

My Uncle had a "ghost town" outside of Reno ... this is him and his trained Brahama Bull named Lightening. I think the baby carriage is empty.

 

I'm no shutterbug but I can see what you mean.

Aeronca C-3 "Colligiate" 36 HP two cylinder Aeronca engine. The next model to come after this one was the "K" it also used the same engine at first but was underpowered, then came the flat fours (Continental, Franklin, Lycoming) and the boom of private light planes began.

 

Beautiful Beach D-17 "Staggerwing" a real "Hot Rod" of it's day.

Hi Jimi,

I do believe you are correct as in it's not a vintage photo.
I found it in an English web file but traced it back to a Tumbler file called Milwaukees best.
Seen here :

Nailed....It's still a great engineering marvel.

Keep....thumbs UP
Delete..thumbs DOWN

Advise..

Thanks for the keen observation and thanks for all the great posts here.
I looked at this thread for a year before I joined and just want to post the best of the best.
