Vintage shots from days gone by!

.................................The Man In The Moon jacket.

 

YEP!----Can't play em' at sea!!!!

 

Ol' Dean musta' got a good buy on material!!

 

Nice lookin' bird but not a vintage pic

 

I think I saw a similiar truck in florida pulling a camper trailer. I am not sure but I think it is an International. The one I saw was an "crew cab" and it was beautiful. Red and black.

I googled old diamond t trucks and old international trucks and, while it is very hard to tell the difference, I do believe that truck is an international.

 

The car at the top of the page is in the National Auto Museum in Reno if you want to see it. I saw it a couple years ago. It's petty cool! If you've nerver gone it's well worth the trip! It really takes the day to go through it properly. Someone told me when it was Harrah's it was bigger!

 

I always liked her as a brunette the best. Remember when she played her "evil" sister on "I Dream of Jeannie"?

 

I need that coat! That is so cool!

 

Rocky, this is one GREAT photo! The kid's got the bug from watching his old man, no doubt. An INSTANT CLASSIC! Reminds me of the pix showing Norm Grabowski working on his T-bucket, and his little girl is sitting in the front seat! THANKS.

BTW, where was the surface A-bomb explosion, and was the vid "real time"? Any idea?

 

Pretty ironic movie playing at the theater!

 

You said it, 327! Glad you caught that! I did notice that the Dodge
-- with the Hemi and plug wires up high -- takes it slow and gets through
water almost up to the beltline!

Speaking of the ocean, here are a couple of pages of art & dialogue from
a "Gidget" comicbook from the early '60s. Man, us young folk must have
been pretty easily entertained!

 

You could learn to do ANYTHING with correspondence training by answering the ads in the back of comicbooks. Many, with the necessary patience and commitment, did so!

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sheesh, I love commercial art and advertising for what they have always said about public tastes [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]and imagination! Adventure was one of the many marketable themes in the era of pulp fiction. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Beautiful cover painting by H.C. Murphy! Maybe it was artists like Murphy who inspired later [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]master illustrator Frank Frazetta (whose work is shown earlier on this thread), in terms of brush[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]strokes and the use of vivid color to evoke dreamy, sometimes surreal emotions. [/FONT]THANKS to
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hidden History (MagazineArt.org). Who doesn't love sailing sips?[/FONT]




Only hotrods beat blazing guns and a damsel in dire distress!

 

December 1935. Inexplicable but compelling cover art! But horror and mystery have been
perennial best-sellers, eh??? Below, April 1938: Bette Davis look-alike prepars to meet her
gruesome end! Can a hero be far away? Nahhh!

 

Or a "Full house". She's groovy! She looks like cotton candy in that photo.

Well... Hmm... These two "gentleman" don't think on the same track I do is all I can say.

 

Hey, that lady on the wheel is no lady! That's the hooded guy's WIFE!

(Oooooo! That was an oldie!)

 

I did not notice that when I first posted it, nice observation!

 

Kodak ad from the Saturday Evening Post, April 20, 1912. THANKS to [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Hidden [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]History (MagazineArt.org). Check out the ad copy! Suppose the Life photog[/FONT]
who shot the blurry pic of Tommy Ivo and Norm Grabowski racing could have
used a "Speed Kodak" model instead of the anchor he had??? BTW, check
out the camera PRICES!!

 

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Below, from the July 1922 issue of St. Nicholas, marketing cameras to kids. Look how [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]the Kodak prices came down in 10 years' time! [/FONT]




May 1918, Hearst's magazine. Both ads are thanks to MagazineArt.org.

 

Ah, Packard! "The American Rolls-Royce"!
Hey, you Packard lovers, did the company only have drum
headlights this late, OR did they offer another style, as well?



October 1927 Good Housekeeping ad, thanks to MagazineArt.org.

1937 to 1940 IHC grille.

 

Artist P. Stevens captures the frustration of bringing a first-timer fishing, June 1949, THANKS
to MagazineArt.org. Dad's expensive Pfleuger and pro rod get NO strikes, while his all-too-
elated son really leans into a lunker, with nothing but a branch, cheap twine and a hook!

 

LOL..I remember that magazine. My dad would give me a buck and I would venture down to the liquor store and get him his copy of Argosy and me the latest HRM. I even enjoyed Argosy. Seemed to feature a lot the chroniclings of those guys who were mountain climbers, former spies, race car drivers; basically action adventure types whose written accountings could be enjoyed-read living vicoursly-by the average working stiff. No cheese cake shots that I could recall. A 50's/60's answer to Maxim/Redbull magazine, albeit in a much more homoginized format.
