Vintage shots from days gone by!

Ran across these at an estate sale

 

From "the Land of Make Beleive" in Upper Jay NY

 

Couple more from the Estate Sale

 

Boardtrack racing before the adoption of internal combustion engines.

 

Service Station Photos taken in the 1920s: This is one of two that we have up in a post from The Henry Ford. Who can tell us more about the radio seen in the photo?

 

Looks like cops and robbers, with perhaps some tear gas to get the dirty rats out of the building. Lots of guns aimed at the front door. Gary

 

J.W. Robinson's parking lot at 8th and Grand, Los Angeles, 1939

 

I love that roadster tucked in behind the car in the middle of the picture.

 

That looks like one of the Gilmore museum barns in Richland Michigan behind the car

 

Needs a couple of those Dog Bags someone shared earlier...

 

Mom and Dad moving from Idaho coming over Snoqualmie Pass 1946!

 

Wow, that must have been an exciting ride

All the weight on the rear , no chains , and probably no trailer brakes. front up in the air, steering sucks. Looks like the muffler fell off, too.

 

Dad told us that after they stoped he had to jack knife the trailer to get going cause the old chevy coudn't pull it!

 

There was no info posted but maybe someone could id the cars in the background.

 

Was That a Hot Rod of the day?

 

"Hang on boys!---We're gonna do a burnout"!!!!!!!!!!

 

Car 54 toodie and muldoon

 

These are very interesting. Where did they come from?

 

That's my guess. My Dad always talked about buying cheap Model T roadsters, taking the fenders off, and cutting the windshields down then re-selling them.

 

One of the original "gow jobs" !!
