Vintage shots from days gone by!

We're gonna see puppies!!!

 

It looks very much like a French Farman but not able to identify the model.Very similar to their F40P fitted with a Lorraine-Dietrich engine.
Farman's, established in 1908 by two brothers, initially as two companies but combined in 1912. They produced significant aircraft for WW1 and I think the craft illustrated is an early war machine.
During the conflict the Company employed 5000 people in a factory 2 miles in length producing ten craft per day.
British aviators commonly dubbed the aircrafts " Horace " after the brothers' names - Henri & Maurice!

 

this pic kinda reminds me of "Spaceballs" and Dot Matrix - "Quit lookin' up my can"! ​

Sad but fascinating, at once. Looks like a bonfire gettin' set to happen. Then CRUNCH and onto a barge headed for the steel mill, eh? You can't help thinking about the project cars that were there before they piled 'em all up like cord wood. I'm guessing late 1950s, give or take a bit. Would be interesting to know the LOCATION, though.

 

Ok it's a "twasnamuff" a really really nice twasnamuff. There's only two kinds of twasnamuffs , good ole big ones and big ole goods ones .

1962 - Fireball at Daytona - wasn't this one of Smokey's Pontiacs?

​

 

Early 50s? What brand?

​

 

Looks like Daytona Beach, '58 or '59?

​

 

1954 Ford, looks like custom grille, hood emblem etc. or is it Austrailian/New Zealand?

​

 

1952 Crosley

 

I bought a used 99 Mustang in NJ and it has a Locke Motors, Tampa Fla sticker on it. They're still around.

 

Bingo! I've heard of the Crosleys but that little spinner/prop on the grille - was it stock?
