The house is called The Chemosphere and was designed by American architect John Lautner in 1960. It's still there today and is now owned by the publisher of Taschen art books, Benedikt Taschen. It is located on the San Fernando Valley side of the Hollywood Hills on Torreyson Drive.

Now why do you find the need to make comments like this...

 

1959 was a significant year for Pontiac- first with the trademark divided grilles, first for the 389 engine, first year for the arrowhead insignia and first year for the "Wide Track" advertising.

 

The original "Whoa Doat" story???
Whoa Doat.dit in dirl..whoa doat,dit out dirl,dit up doat..whoa doat,dit in durl,dit up doat,,whoa doat,dit out durl.dit in doat..

Fantastic thread.

Best.

 

well hes right

 

Now here comes the BS.....

 

What ever your politics, what does the comment have to do with traditional hot rods. Mom would say as I'm sure some of yours did, "if you can't say anything nice, shut up"

Pat

 

Exactly - why detract from this great thread by delving into the muck of politics? You couldn't find a greater forum for controversy and disagreement - unless it is religion.

Let's stick to vintage photos of cars, people and how things used to be. Great material just keeps pouring in.

 

Hey folks lets get back to "Vintage shots , i'll start, O K ?

Somebody asked why the penmanship was so bad on these early pictures. My understanding is that this was scratched into the negative before it was fused, so it had to be done with a wire because of the chemicals.

 

It was also done in reverse, which is why you often see some letters backwards.

 

You're correct , uh with the wire .................... scrubba
