Vintage shots from days gone by!

Just wondering if anyone has seen this little jigger - The Holden Torana GTR-X that was shown in 1970. It never went into production and only came with a 186 cube straight six but it certainly had all the lines for 43 years ago. Original Pixs on the Parts Box site.

 

(boss to new guy) "Go bring my car around, son. Here's the key - oh, it's a red VW."

 

I had one of these when I was stationed in Germany.

Here's a couple more from the City of Vancouver Archives, ironically, they are actually advertising a fundraising dance, in the community that I live in now, although it has had a name change since then. Town of Haney, became City of Maple Ridge.

Going through the thread after being gone, listening to this guy--Gene Pitney.

 

Portland Rose Festival, USS Philadelphia, 1939



Rose Festival along old Harbor Drive - late 50's?

 

I've never seen a pink Sunbeam Tiger before!

 

I will have to say I have never seen anyone put a clamp on roof rack on a convertible before. The Buick at the bottom of the picture is a ragtop with a top rack.

 

Caught "Operation Petticoat" on the TV. It's stone quiet as all the nurses board until a sailor drop a wrench with a huge bang. Then the old Chief deadpans: "If any of ya wonder what yer fightin' for, there's yer answer!" One of my favorite movie lines and this photo nails it!

 

I stand corrected. Your eyes are better than mine.

 

I will have to take a now photo at the same location. I drive that route every day.
