Vintage shots from days gone by!

Let me retract my previous statement. I have no Idea.

 

1936 Decatur Indiana

​

 

1927 Washington DC

​

 

1922 Daytona Beach

​

 

1959 Havana Florida

​

 

Source sez these planes are General Motors "Fisher" P75. Date unknown, guessing they're late 40s/early 50s (tails and the #s differ, not sure if year is indicated on those #s):

​

 

B49 with prop/jet engines? Not sure of the designation(s) or year but guessing late 40s:

​

 

My kind of cupid...

 

Caption gave no clues, just said it was taken in 1903...

 

House of Hopper?

 

Yeah, not sure when the Sandridge line was closed down - musta been before the late 60's / early 70's, cos I remember it never ran in my memory.
The bridge over the Yarra was left there for decades until the whole Southbank redevelopment was done. That was in the early 90's, I know that 'cause I worked for the company that was involved in building that complex.
Are you sayin' that the one with the tram at Elizabeth St was up at LaTrobe rather than Bourke? I dunno - I reckon it's Bourke, but it's a 50 year old pic and I aint that sure.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
Cheers.

 

That's because the bottom 2 pictures are a YB-35

 

So, what's the rough Boone & Crockett score on these two fine creatures???

 

A real cl***ic...

 

County Stadium Milwaukee. 1954 or 1955?

 

Yes, I'm sure it sold a few years ago. I'll ask my dad if he knows where it went

 

Let's get back to Tacoma and the Pacific Northwest Washington.

 

Lil32,the fourth one, W-cl*** tram front & centre, is Melbourne from the Argus Building; Shot tower (under gl***) and Swanston St apartment block still there now, not much else.
and Dad-bud, that box girder across the river is still there too; afaik cl***ified/listed (it was the oldest train-line) but the grade separation was erased from there back towards Port Melbourne, where a very similar bridge crosses Montague St.

 

more. The barn in the 6th picture was one of the biggest illegal still operations ever found.

 

and some more.

 

More, more more.

 

There's a lot more to come.

 

Vintage 1962 Chevy Ad - yes even the Corvair

​

 

After the Ford Plant closed, the building was converted into food wharehouse for First National Stores. In the late seventies the building was converted into The ***embly Square Mall, that still stands today.

 

Thanks J.Jock.

 

.....

 

Betty White??

 

I'll find some more pictures of his. I know there where a buch of pictures from the bomb sites from the sorties.
