Vintage shots from days gone by!

fleet-master said it all.i feel the same way guys thanks to all who help keep this one going. it takes me to a time when we were innocent but great.since my wreck in 05 ive longed for a time when cars were still cool and people still cared. with this thread i get to go to that time and place.again thanks to all of you.

 

Thanks dog!

 

What are those 2 cylinders ahead of the grill, They look to be some kind of air ride or hydraulic ride adjusters they're connected to the springs but look way to big to be shocks only.

 

1910 Packard Jitney Bus

 

Dampers, or shocks, many early Jitney Buses had those.

 

My guess would be gas for the headlights

 

They are shocks. They were popular on large cars, like this pierce arrow.

 

My grandfather had a nash convertible like that in the fifties.

I go to alot of car shows but have never seen another one!

 

Here's a Buick with those cylinders

 

My brother in 1964

 

My dad bought this T in 1963 for 15 bucks.

 

Me in 1974.

 

Here is one for swi66. I bought this 1963 Corvair in 1973 for 10 bucks. It was a 500 or a 700, had a bench seat and rubber floor mats. It was really solid. My brother bought a rusty Monza for the engine for his dune buggy so I put the interior in this car.

 

1963 that my brother restored.

 

My brother's 61 Impala after he tangled with a drunk driver. Him and my dad fixed it.

 

Me riding my brother's new bike.

 

Me with my new toy. I wish I still had it, I remember the radio, horn turn signals, dash lights all worked. Have never seen another one. My dad must have been wrenching on something.

 

Going fishin' with mom and dad.

 

I wanted one of those so bad but never got one.
