Vintage shots from days gone by!

Wood Plank Streets?

Must be under construction?

 

"1941 Studebaker Pennsylvania License dated 1945 on back"

 

"1959 Oldsmobile Alabama Winter Snow circa 1960s"

 

"1940s Bicycle w/ Horn & Lights"

 

This is Broad street looking south, I believe. The tall building in the center is City Hall, with it's statue of William Penn on top. Good to see a few pics of my hometown.

 

"1941 Buick circa 1940s"



If anyone is sick of seeing these just let me know.I can't get enough of the old random snap shots from way back when.

 

OK, here's dads ol' '41 Buick in our driveway in 1941.

 

1941 BUick Special.

 

What a contrast in smiles in my opinion. The upper pic is natural and cought off gaurd, the real deal. The lower pic, strictly vogue.

 

Here are pictures of a late '31 steeltop wide bed pickup used by the Carrboro Fire Department in North Carolina.








More pictures from the Model A Commercial Vehicles thread over on the Fordbarn...

"1952 /1954 Austin A40 Surrey Taxi circa 1950s"

 

That flick is worth watching just for the hot rods.

 

Big fan of this unique rear styling...the shortened fin and the double round pods. Ford or GM could not keep up. Thanks for posting!

 

"1954 Mercury Monterey Huge Bug Guard circa 1950s"

 

early '50s, building the new subway underneath yonge st.

SWI found and posted that GREAT period color photo, man. But YEAH! Here we were, in the FINAL years of the Exner influence at MOPAR. Like 'em or not, it was very daring and definitive stuff, didn't look like GM, FoMoCo or AMC!

 

Okay, Twin, but WHERE is the luscious gal in bare feet and a cotton dress, slathing soap on a DeSoto? This is the HAMB, and I think, "What we got here is a FAILURE ta COMMUNICATE!"

 

Don't think that is Seattle. More likely Portland Ore.

 

X2 Portland

 

Possibly Tony Grasso from Medford, Mass. or his cousin Paul?
