Vintage shots from days gone by!

Does anybody know anything about this little store? I'd like to know what the symbols, or whatever, across the top of both walls are.

 

I stopped by this place about 10 years ago as I was returning from Bonneville. There are/were some interesting vehicles in the collection, but many were misidentified. I was surprised to see the number of Studebakers there. Most cars were not well cared for, but were still good to look at.

 

Just under cover LOL

 

cattle brands, from here and here.

 

Second time around on this thread, cattle brands and it is not a nazi symbol.

 

My guess, a fortune teller

 

Something else you don't see anymore - bicyclists in sane clothing.

 

good comment, same over here, to a man who has been deepfreezed in the 50's or whenever the bicyclists from nowadays must look like from outerspace. rc'd robots on wheels. no pride to see on 'em.

 

Trick or Treat on Temple Avenue, New Castle, PA, 1957...

 

Looks like it started life as a '28 or '29 Cadillac Sedan that was cut down into a wrecker/snowplow

 

Guys, please don't just gloss over this - I just found some great pics.

There's something about that picture, the cars, the bicycles and the guys in it that doesn't jibe.

What's "insane" about bicycle clothing? YOu wear special, i.e. "unusual or odd clothingfor fishing, hunting, playing tennis, running track, etc.

Someone a little insecure about what THEY'D look like in spandex?

 

I was thinking the same,the bikes,clothes and hair cuts of the guys riding the bikes looks too new.

 

I'm thinking it could be from a movie.
