Vintage shots from days gone by!

"Hello girls!"

 

Could this be 1928 Pontiac built by Joe Pring and then owned by John Chappelow as seen on page 86 Australia's Hot Rod Heritage book by Graffiti Publications. High headlights and cowl lines and racing mirror suggest it could be. ? ? ? Regards[/QUOTE]
Yes my thoughts exactly, the giveaway is the mirror like you said & also the steering wheel & the fact that is right hand drive.
Cheers Charlie.

 

Does any one have a Photo of McDonalds on E steet in SanBeradino Calif. We where told it was the first one

 

On December 12, 1948, the first McDonald’s restaurant opened at 14th and E Street in San Bernardino CA., which sold 15¢ burgers and 10¢ fries using a “Speedee Service System.”

 

Any one with a photo from around 1965

 

Damn I am getting old as I can remember when they looked like this.

 

Listen to this while I search...

That's got to be Bettie Page.

 

Can't find a photo, But the one in the sixties was right across the street from the original. It was a Major turn around spot for cruising E. What can you share about E St. in San Berdoo?

 

It got so bad thay put a cop in the parking lot. I grew up in Yucaipa cruising E street was our sat night after the races at the Fair grounds or the drive in with a date

 

By 1965 the original McDonalds on E St. was sold, and a newer McDonalds had been built
across the street (on the south side of E.). On the corner to the north was a Speed Shop, (which later turned into a headshop). nwbhotrod did you cruise on E St. in the sixties? Just curious because of your request for a '65 photo.????

 

I grew up in Redlands, (class of 70) and cruisin' E was the best, also Market St. in Riverside.

 

Did you ever go out to Palm Springs I was in the Class 69 yucaipa High

 

A shame such beauty is so fleeting...

 

Hell Yeah! The Springs Rocked!
I moved to Yucaipa after I got out of the service in '75, and lived there until the big move all the way to Calimesa in '94...

 

==============
To me it looks like an English Ford Anglia -- I bought a red one in 1960. (They race them in England now.)

 

Excellent post, I was going to suggest the same thing! That song is a mini-history of McD's and a great take on Ray Kroc.

 

Nah, Mk2 Zephyr, owned them in the past.

Still have an Anglia - they're smaller and have a cut-back rear window.

 

bingo!

 

Nice shot but it's from 1959 (or possibly '62) - note the Chrysler's a '58, and there's a '59 Plymouth and '59 Rambler wagon on the right. The registration sticker on the Chrysler is white, a color only used in '59 and '62 in that series.

 

Here's a magazine feature I scanned on the roadsterin question.

 

A good friend of mine has a beautiful; 2 tone pink 56 4-door.
I always loved the vintage Mopars.

 

I have no info on that car.
