Vintage shots from days gone by!

I know of a '55 in walking distance that has been sitting in a guy's driveway under a tarp for at least 20 years. "Ima gunna fix 'er up one of these days". Guy must be about 80 now.

probably has a lot of memories in it

Stop by TheOldMotor.com to see enlargements of this interesting car along w/press articles that have been found.

Or possibly Finland? The swastika has the "short legs" that seems more typical of that insignia.

A casting for a movie or play - wanting people with actual experience. Most likely to be "real"-looking extras.

 

IN fairness, it should be pointed out that LeMay fought hard for enlisted housing, 24 hour chow halls, dorms instead of open bay barracks - essential for 24 hour operations -, faster promotions, and my favorite ... base auto hobby shops, fully funded until 1985! A hard-ass, yes. But also a COMMANDER, not an administrator.
