Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back!
(Little in the middle but she got much back)

 

That hill hasnt changed much at all. Many of those houses are the same.

But yes that car is not longer there.

 

Rocky, the POST cover and photo below it of the kids working on their car were SO nice! I'd like to see a modern re-do of the Post cover. Or find a frameable poster print of either one of them! Gary

Varsity Drive-In, Atlanta, GA, 1953:






Out west somewhere in my father's '49 Ford, around 1950:




My old friend Jack (in the car) and his cousin Frank in 1960:

 

Archie Frazer Nash breasting the top of the Test Hill at Brooklands' race circuit, England, in his Anzani engined Frazer Nash in the 1920s. Nash chassis were very " flexible "and as the drive to the rear axle is by chains this flexibility causes problems with the chains jumping off the sprockets. On a night trial earlier this year we had to replace the chains over a dozen times!
Brooklands' circuit, opened in 1907, the first race track in England, still partially exists but the Test Hill is still used today for vintage events.

One of the great things about this thread is seeing all the pics of different places all over the world, and thinking "we went there".
Thanks to all who keep this thread going for the great memories. Mike

 

The occasion was the 1952 Chicago Motor Show and the press photo is dated Feb. 18, 1952. The caption reads as follows; Plymouth chassis and operating motor enclosed in plastic fascinate Myra Miller (left) and Josephine Gayton. Plastic enables visitors to see the motor running. We have several enlargements of this cool photo were you can see it in detail.

 

Do you think there is a tree under there!?

 

NAH, haven't seen them in the last week or so.

Where Dead Voices Gather -- Nick Tosches

"And, of course, that is what all of this is - all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs - that song, endlesly reincarnated - born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 - same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."

 

I don't know, but he is wearing slippers in the profile Pic! They were probably made by the same guy that made Samuel L Jackson's wallet in Pulp Fiction.
