Vintage shots from days gone by!

another checker cab shot, nyc 1946....

 

Those Checker cabs have got to be about the ugliest cars ever manufactured, IMHO.

 

The car is an Australian produced Holden, model 48 - 215, more commonly known these days as the FX, a nickname it got at some stage.
The 48 -215 was produced from 1948 to 1953.
Where the photo was taken I know not.

regards, Rod.

 

Just for all the "Air Heads"...

What is the story on this photo?

 

Thanks for posting this photo of one of the prototype Rupp Monza gas powered JR cars. The Red one shown below with the full size Corvair Monza SS prototype is the first one and was made for the son of GM Designer Bill Mitchell and I believe the blue one you posted is for Designer Chuck Jordan's son?

 

Thank you sir! Added to my file.

 

WOW Thanks - I sat in that seat once for about 5 minutes at WPAFB Museum
I thought a Connie had a busy seat - That Eng was busier that That 1 legged paper hanger

 

Marlene Dietrich and Amelia Earhart on the set of Song of Songs, 1933

I wonder what Amelia was doing on the set I didn't see her in the credits.
Maybe a publicity thing?

 

"Amelia Earhart pays a visit to Marlene Dietrich on the set of The Song of Songs, to congratulate her on her “courage and good sense” for forwarding the trousered suit style for women (1933)."
