I hope someone can make it bigger, this would make a terrific poster. A great collection of hot rods, I LOVE the hammered 35 or 36 Tudor behind the roadster on the left.

 

Holy crap, RedlandMaggie, did these REALLY come in a convertible???
(Not the women, the car.)

Wow, Rocky! Where the heck did you find this highly classified military

an alien rescue ship???

Also from Area 51, this top-secret test plane crashed in 1963, actually outside the base. Here's the info that explains the pic, at the time the pic, and others, were declassified, as there was no longer any critical info for foreigner interests to glean. The test pilot's story and experience are actually more exciting than the photo!

"Remnants of a crashed A-12 spy plane—including two engines and the shattered rear fuselage—litter the ground near Wendover, Utah, in a 1963 picture recently declassified by the CIA and published here for the first time.

"Things went horribly wrong for test pilot Ken Collins (flying under his Area 51 code name Ken Colmar) when testing the plane's subsonic engines at low altitude. At 25,000 feet (7,620 meters), "the airplane pitched up and went up and got inverted and went into a flat incipient spin," Collins says in the new National Geographic Channel documentaryArea 51 Declassified. (The Channel is part-owned by the National Geographic Society, which owns National Geographic News.)

"'From such a position, "you just can't recover. So I thought I’d better eject, so I ejected down, because I was upside down.' [Quoting Collins]

"U.S. officials later asked Collins to undergo hypnosis and treatments of sodium pentothal (a "truth drug") to be sure he relayed every detail of the incident truthfully and correctly."

 

How many times in my life have I heard " you'll never hit anything shooting from the wrong side!"

 

..never seen this, nice! how long did you say are your red lite periods at intersections? each crossing a can, i'd say! (just kiddin' fer sure!)

 

Is it me? Or, are we seeing a lot of re-posts lately? I think some guys need to review the whole thread before posting.
