Vintage shots from days gone by!

i guess last month was "days gone by". while the photo looks old, the innocence of the day is missing.

 

Thought this was a cool shot.

 

I'm thinking this is from the Club Surfing Contest, San Onofre, 1963

 

Funky T-Bird ?

Snickerier is a Swedish word for Carpentry. The owner was a carpenter.

 

Is that Main St. in the back round in Huntington Beach Ca. I see by your signature your a Woodie fan. If that is Main street and you live near by it, I'm sure you was there this past weekend.

 

...

 

We got some of this today...

 

Yes that is Main St, and I do have an affection for woodies, and I used to live near Huntington 40 yrs ago, did I miss a woody get together?

 

Check out those shoes the boy is wearing. I had a pair, about 1960 I think they were called Wings - the top flap lifted up to put 'em on then push the flap down. About the most uncomfortable shoes I ever owned!

 

Yep, I had a pair also. The idea was good, but the execution was so-so. Very uncomfortable.

 

dude what is the story on the t-bird anymore pics or info?

 

Swedish Funny Car, raced in 1971 at Mantorp raceway. Owned by the company "Rogers Custom", Gothenburg Sweden.

 

Doodle bug fix...

 

Sollentuna, Sweden 1958-59 bought in this condition by Janne Eriksson.

 

During WWII, due to housing shortage, all the overflow of new people from Ok.--Texas---Etc. would camp out on Huntington beach with tents & other quarters, while working at defense factories & ship yards etc.
As each day went by each family would toss their empty food cans out the backside of their tents, resulting in large piles of empty's.

Thus---The name "TIN CAN BEACH" became synonymous with Huntington beach!!!----Only the old timers remember this!----Don

 

Love this kind of stuff!!!!
