The one on the left is Mischa Barton as Louise Brooks.

 

Ok a few years ago I saved some old photo albums from ending up in the land fill.So I know none of these pics are in this thread or any where online.I just started scanning some .Here are a few never before seen Photos .I hope you enjoy.

 

I'm glad I saved these from the dump.

 

Anyone else notice the "chain" driven dump truck?

 

Yeah pretty cool .I have another picture of him posing on truck but pretty much the same except he is sitting .

 

59468. Oh no not the dreaded Hand Job torture!!

 

Chain drive was common on Sterling (and possibly other) trucks up to the late 50's.

 

That's a MACK AC Model, better know as a Bulldog Mack



1920 Ad

 

Louise Brooks in a publicity pic for Photoplay magazine. One of the
under-rated silent film stars. But there was a lot more to this brainy
woman than just looks, if you take a minute to look up her bio.

 

Another one I scanned of downtown Fairbanks.I'm not sure of the year.

 

Here's another MACK



The 100-inch glass being taken up for the Mount Wilson Observatory, 1917.

 

More that I scanned ..The trailer is neat.

 

I figured I would just share pictures that had cars in them..Man I love these pictures .I'm so glad I found them.

 

TCM was showing Andy Hardy movies last night. Remember Andy's roadster? He put $12 down but had to come up with the other $8 in a short time. (Could you really buy a running, driving, roadster in 1939 for 20 bucks??)

 

Last three for now.

 

Today in 1908, Jack Johnson won the title of World Heavyweight Champion

 

Christmas dinner with Louis Armstrong.

 

Woody Guthrie & Lead Belly

 

..this Cadillac "truck" is from the movie Greased Lightning with Richard Pryor, a good movie about the first African-american stock car driver...

 

from wiki

John Arthur ("Jack") Johnson (March 31, 1878 – June 10, 1946), nicknamed the "Galveston Giant," was an American boxer. At the height of the Jim Crow era, Johnson became the first African American world heavyweight boxing champion (1908–1915). In a documentary about his life, Ken Burns notes that "for more than thirteen years, Jack Johnson was the most famous and the most notorious African-American on Earth."

The Ken Burns documentary is excellent. Jack sure loved his fast cars.

 

POLAND. 1948. Teresa, a child in a residence for disturbed children, grew up in a concentration camp. She drew a picture of &#8220;home&#8221; on the blackboard.
