Vintage shots from days gone by!

What a neat photo - no trailer queen this one. Love that windshield. Saving this for a screen saver.

 

The American Budweiser company (Anheuser Busch) does indeed make beer, not very good beer, but beer none the less.

The city of České Budějovice was for centuries also known by its German name, Budweis. Brewing is recorded in the city since the 13th century. The modern Budějovický měšťanský pivovar was founded in 1795 as the Bürgerliches Brauhaus Budweis, as such it is the oldest brewery in the world to use the term "budweiser" when referring to its beer. In 1895 the Budějovický Budvar brewery opened as an ethnically Czech alternative to the German dominated Budějovický měšťanský pivovar.
In 1876, the US brewer Anheuser-Busch began making a beer which it also called "Budweiser." This led to the "Budweiser trademark dispute" between beer companies claiming trademarks rights to the name "Budweiser." In the European Union, Budějovický Budvar is recognized as a product with Protected Geographical Indication. Because of such disputes, Budvar is sold in the United States and Canada under the label Czechvar and according to the verdict of Court of Justice of the European Union in July 2010, czech Budweiser Budvar has exclusive control over the Budweiser brand name in the whole European Union.

 

Looks to be a 56 Stude Hawk to me.

 

Note the "protective reinforced pants addition".

 

This is not a Renault R-35 (there was one, but this isn't it). This is an interesting vehicle, however, having an FT (or "FT-17 chassis, as it is commonly called) but a non-standard turret and apparently up-gunned. I'll look over some of my sources and see if I can locate the purpose and period of this FT variant.

 

Thanks, man. My bad for trusting the source where I found the photo.
But THANKS for setting the record straight! GOOD thing about the HAMB!

 

Great pictures ! Keep em coming!!

 

I'm late for page 1937 but here are some 1937 flood photos from Huntington WV

 

I've got 1 original copy of Hank Negley running pump gas at the lakes in 1947.

 

The reason that You can see the pics is that your computer has them in the computers cache and it will insert the pics from the cache when you view the forum.


Probably the reason that they don't show up on the HAMB is that you might be "hot linking" (copying links from somebodies website and posting those links here).

Many websites are able to recognize "hot linking" and the can block the images.
They may consider this theft of their property or intellectual rights and therefor will show a blank screen or sometimes a simple 'Advertisement' in order to deter theft of what they consider "their private property".

.............

All that being said,
Looking further into the posts we may find the problem in the links themselves:



~htp/mediaarkiv.orebro.se:8080/Cumulus_ark/Compatible/Preview.PreviewServlet?recordView=SearchResult_RecordInfo&imageSize=1024&catalogID=27&recordID=573&errorURL=../images/DefaultThumbnail.jpg&random=0.6006602549182761~

The links are for default thumbnails thru a server search but several terms create problems when hot linking here:
PreviewServlet, DefualtThumbnail and &Random stand out as the possible cause for these broken links.

The HAMB (and other sites) will not know what the random preview thumbnail was or what jpeg it represents as those are website specific and make sense to the server on www/mediaarkiv but make no sense ti the HAMB server.

for a total of 38 broken posts/links in total

In our society, we are used to those who attain super-star status staying around a while. But, sometimes it just ain't that way.

The life and career of singer/songwriter/lead guitarist Tommy Bolin was just such a case in point. Like Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix, Hank Williams, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and a handful of others, Tommy's meteoric success spanned just a few years and left a wealth of musical genius behind. Breaking into the Big Time in '72 at age 20, he was gone just five years later, in December '76, before most music lovers even fully realized what they'd witnessed.

Bolin's prolific five-year stint in stardom was a run-away train of creativity, on which he was equally comfortable performing with established groups, doing session work or recording and touring as a single. He played lead and wrote for well-known bands like the regional band Zephyr, Energy, the James Gang (in which he replaced Joe Walsh) and Deep Purple (in which he replaced Richie Blackmore). But like Elvis and the aforementioned talents, Bolin's private life and psyche, it seems in retrospect, could be more a prison than a refuge. Tom Longden of the DesMoines Register wrote that Tommy died at 25 after a Miami performance of an overdose of morphine, cocaine, lidocaine and alcohol. Wow. It's noted today that Bolin was just then emerging as a star in his own right.

So, as in all the cases mentioned, music fans are always left to wonder, "What if . . . ?"
