Vintage shots from days gone by!

#45070 If I recall, I had a 59 which I loved tooling around is and a good buddy had as 62. The grille in the yellow 45070 car was for a the larger engine version. Now, I racking my brains because this is going back more then 40 years now. I think we bout had 1500cc engines and the other ones had 1700cc. I may be all wrong on this but my buddy ended up going to work for Competition Motors that built all comp sports cars.

 

Top are German Arado Ar-96 trainers; bottom is another German: Focke-Wulf 189. Neither seem to be in German markings, though (maybe Romanian?) The one in the middle I'm sure is Russian but I don't recall the type.

not old but still cool.....

 

That is definitely Linda. The photo was taken after the Yankee 300, a USAC Stock Car event on the road course at Indianapolis Raceway Park in 1964, which had a lot of NASCAR entrants. Fred Lorenzen won it.

While I was working at IRP in the 90s, Linda "talked" me out of the original print.

 

Probably Pearson, but in that time period it could be Glotzbach.

 

God! I love this thread!!

Did you ever see the "back Stage" video of the stripper behind that door behind Soupy? the film crew snuck a stripper on the set for Soupy's birth day. when he answered the door as part of the kids show usually hed get hit with a pie or something well that day a nude woman was standing just off camera holding a big "Happy Birthday balloon!

 

In looking more closely at the tailights, I believe the owner is correct that this is a '57 with a MarkII(61-2) grille. The '56-7's had 1500 engines, there was no larger engine and the grille was the same for all the 56-60 cars. In May of '59, the 1600 engine became available and it had front discs. The '61-2 Mark II's got the 1622 engine. There was no 1700 in the MGA's. There was a DOHC engine that became available in '58 but they were clearly badged and had 4 wheel discs and still had the old grille.
