Vintage shots from days gone by!

The really sad part is that all of these geniuses who have jumped on the 'tattoo bandwagon' that's been rollin for a few years now, have the rest of their lives to put up with their stupid decision.
Just my opinion, of course.

 

Seattle 1929

 

Chambers, the second taxicab in Seattle, ca. 1909

 

Display of,GM Concept prototype Firebird III in the "World of Century 21", World of Tomorrow Building, Century 21 Exposition, 1962

 

Who is the lady with the chimp in the MGA?

 

Here's a few more that I have found on the "net".

 

A few more...

 

I completely missed that there was a chimp in the photo the first time I looked!

Canby, OR



Clackamas County Fair

 

Shopping in Houston

 

1944 Violet TX

 

Baker City, OR

 

Could this have been one of the first ones that were held in Gladstone Oregon on the Cackamas river?

That ain't his only problem! That's a '40/'41 Chevy that was crushed between those trucks, Zoot-Zooters died out back in the '20s!

1957

Looks to me like the MGA door just is not shut all of the way. I had a bunch and none had bad fitting doors.

 

You don't know your zoot history. Zoot suits were a 40's thing!

 

Above and below, '27 and '48 Indians, thanks to luv2xlr8.

 

Right you are Gary. I think late 30s & into the 40s. Kay Kyser and his "College of Musical Knowledge" (well his orchestra, actually!) had a song about 'em in the early 40s. Cab Calloway wore them quite a lot too, as seen in this YOUTUBE ditty:
