How long did you look Eddie?

 

Everyone was thinking the same Don, but didn't want to be the guy that said it out loud! Here's a couple more contestants for the new reality show.. "Hey What's That Smell"

 

Until My girlfriend asked me what I was looking atSeemed like hours.

 

It does look like she liked taking her clothes off and is a nice sight.

 

Fretwells was in Oklahoma City in the 50's. The 1 on the license plate designates Oklahoma County.

Pennsville's first Police Car; a 1941 Chevrolet


Ptl. Arthur Rousseau with new police car 4-20-1959

 

Picture of my 1941 Plymouth in May of 1956, with my younger Brother Johnny at age 5. I have many more from years gone by of some of my old Cars.
I was 15 when I bought it for $75.00 & my Dad Drove it home. I work at odd jobs to make enough money to buy. Oh 1 btw I work for $1.00 per Hour, Gasoline was 26.9 cents per Gal.

 

Even if LHD...

 

WTF is going on here?

 

very cool

 

Easy just flip the neg over been done many times by mistake

 

I'm pretty sure that's flynbrian's setup from here on the HAMB.

 

Right (wrong LOL) side drive in England. I thought I was dyslexic

 

Didn't someone recently dig this wagon out of someones garage? Could have sworn I saw the story about it on one of the wagon forums.

 

Goodness! She was a looker indeed!

 

Odd thing to me about that Cougar - anyone else think the design looks a bit dated, considering it was first shown in 1962? If Ford had built it in 1954 it would have been thought of as a potential Thunderbird, or maybe an American response to the Mercedes Gullwing, but eight years later - especially compared to the original two-seat mid-engined Mustang that came out at the same time - the Cougar looks like a throwback. JMO...

 

Yes -I remember an article in one of the car mags on this a couple of years ago - if I remember correctly it was practically stolen from the woman who owned it and didn’t know what she had.

 

She was a Brit. Maybe the first picture is right.

 

I've been enjoying this thread for a long time but have only been lurking. Having been born after most of the photos in this thread had been taken I didn't think I had anything original to offer. However, I realized today I had something hanging over my desk here that fit in;



This is my Dad with one of his race cars from the mid 50's. I Believe this photo was taken at the Utah State Fairgrounds. Unfortunately there hasn't been a race track there since the 60's. Seems most of my Dad's race cars were based on '34 Fords. About 10 years ago I dug up some of my Dad's old photos, discovered this one in pretty bad condition with lots of cracks. I scanned it and repaired it digitally and blew it up about double the original size. I lost that file some time ago so I had to take my copy out of the frame and scan it again to post it here.

Thanks for all the great photos you guys are posting here, it's been a great education and inspiration.
