Vintage shots from days gone by!

Tuckerfan, thanks for another memory, Hawaii 5-O ran a long time on one of our channels, loved it for Steve McGarett always had a cool expression in his eyes.. always calmed right, thinking of some influences on my hairstyle, there were times we looked a bit similar. needless to say that both of my sisters melted downright through the cushions for him...

btw, i love how passioned you enjoying even the least detail about those fabulous Tuckers..you're the best-equipped database about these imho!

forgot this one:

 

..the Philips mignon auto 45rpm-player (had one, fancy entertainment esp. in 50's microcars), the car is a Ford 12M, german counterpart to the shoeboxes, looking a bit similar, but smaller, for sure. these cars are rare today and hard to restore for there is not a spare part on market, even the expendable parts are not available. much more seldom are the converts for have being hand made by several coachbuilders, an official release pic:

 

Jimi I think Doc did have to exchange a "streamer" for a new chute!

 

Haha! guys, I needed a good laugh today! It does kinda make it all seem insignificant!
I was kinda' worried they wanted me to be a "streamer" decoration for a christmas parade after I proved how good I was at it! I passed it up!!!

Doc.

 

For the tool nuts on the HAMB, here's a rather large saw...

 

The scene of an accident in 1935. Information with the photo reveals a car stolen by joyriding children crashed into a lawyer's car, killing him

 

Even public servants weren't immune to accidents. An early mail truck came out loser in this battle with a tree on the tree-lined Commercial Avenue, Boston

Couple years ago computer (actually Windoze) threw a tantrum. Threw away everything Micro$oft-related and moved to Linux. Everything is legally free, not a virus ever again and same computer works a lot better. No regrets, and not coming back.

 

This was taken on Commonwealth Avenue in Boston.

 

This photo was taken on Alford St., on the Charlestown (Boston)/Everett line. The Alford St. drawbridge is in the distance, looking towards Sullivan Sq. in Charlestown.

Steve I gotta say Thank You,
For all you've done for me.
The nights are dark and lonely,
When you're not on TV.

^^As a kid, we were so poor that our Viewmasters were monaural. Gary

 

Your Viewmaster had sound? Ours just clicked...

 

Well, got ya both beat. We were SO poor, OUR ViewMaster only had ONE peephole!

 

Put on Yer Thinking Cap! Time to Test
Your Knowledge of Irrelevant Nostalgia!



Dawn Wells looking just plain cute as Mary Ann Summers
on "Gilligan's Island," thanks to DazzleDent. Guess WHO
this former Miss Nevada beat out for the Mary Ann part!

 

Photo thanks to the Movie Store. Did you know
that Bob Denver's character, Gilligan, actually
had a first name? Anybody?

 

Tina Louise played sultry movie star Ginger Grant. Know WHO was the producers'
first pick to play Ginger? Pictured are Louise, Dawn Wells and Natalie Schaefer.
Photo of "Gilligan's Island" ladies thanks to FlickRiver/Bettman/Corbis.

 

Bob sure seems at home on the bongos. Hmmm!
Wonder WHY! Anyone? And, WHO was the FIRST
choice to play Gilligan? Pic thanks to Farm5 onFlickR.

 

That wasn't a Viewmaster, that was a kaleidoscope! Hey, no Bogarting. Gary

 

My retina hurts just thinking about that!

 

...

 

Okay, okay! BUT, I was too uneducated to know the difference between a View Master and a Kaleidoscope, I'd have you know. Us nippers couldn't attend skool due to our poor situation. After all, we were living in a box in the middle of the road! Sniff.

 

Jerry Van Dyke...but he opted for my mother the car.....

 

Who Cares She has a nice Ass

 

Succinctly and accurately stated, my stout, red-blooded fellow! But, I'll bet Dawn never once got chased around by a reptile.

 

Talk about falling ass over tea kettle!
