From my own family archives:

My Great-Grandparents home in London, Ontario Canada (Circa 1900)
(My Great-Grandparents Charles and Katie on the left and my Great-Great-Grandparents Thomas and Matilda on the right)



My Grandmother Darlene and her younger brother in front of a streetcar wreck in Portland in the late 30's..






My Great Grandfather Charles as the J.C. Penny's Dept Store Santa sometime in the 1950's. We still have his costume.



My Grandfather's German Shepard "Duke" in the early 1960's. He was my mother's babysitter and never leave her side if she was alone.

 

As Walter's character is headed over for a date with Ann-Margret, Burgess' character says to Jack Lemmons" "LOOKS like he's takin' ol' One-Eye to the optometrist!"

Hey, Ron, any date and locale for the great drive-in restaurant pic below?

 

Big THANKS there, SpeedMill! So, the bridge still stands in the state park? Great pic; I wish it were a tad bigger.

 

A few more:





Portland area Duesenberg collector Charlie Norris and 2506-J488. He also owned identical 2486-J475 before selling it to Clifford Stranberg of Portland.

 

another I forgot. Looks like a Duesenberg nose (and possibly engine) in what looks like an early Hot Rod chassis?

I remember touring that house.
Some parts of it were cool.
They had a (dummy) flat screen TV in that house. The rest of it was more like four pairs of side by side mobile homes on a stilt.
