Vintage shots from days gone by!

Jack - you can just go back and delete the second one.

Here's one with local (to me) interest. Land Rovers are made here in Solihull. I'll scout around for some more old ones.



another:


Experimental tractor - never got past the prototype stage - I never knew about this one.



And one last one featuring Winston Churchill.


I'll make that the last as they're not very hot-roddy.

Mart.

 

Yeah, and you notice the Kaiser/Frazer multi-purpose there???

 

No sarcasm meant at all by my post.

 

This same bridge is still there, isn't it Maggie? Sure looks the same....

 

This looks like the motel used in the movie Officer and a Gigolo with Richard Gere

 

My MG when it was born in 1962.

Family photos...sorry if any are repeats....I am the one with the fat head on my sister's lap and with the engine hoist/engine. My Dad in uniform with his mom. My wife's Dad on the hood. Mt great uncles with their Essex cars about 1922. My brother standing next to the Ford in the driveway.

 

The motel they used was in Port Townsend, WA - it is still there.

 

We love the San Juans, I learned how to walk on Orcas. My grandparents honeymooned there, then rented a house on Lake Washington for $15 a month.

 

I'm pretty sure, they built the second span alongside of it (not sure when). There is a huge debate going on about replacing it (and I'm sure who's going to pay for it).

What is the story with the wheels.

 

A few old family photos.

 

I believe this is on the White River on Ark. Highway 1. This ferry was in operation until the early 80's and it still looked this way until the bridge was the start of the bridge and new road.

I'd hate to have to change a flat on this puppy, spare location is for 'Charles Atlas' or 'Superman'
