ALTERNATE CAPTION - "With all
of his wildest and most perverse
fantasies now a reality - 'two hot
and willing babes at the same time
and a brand new Model T touring
car, fresh out of Detroit to 'wow'
everybody on cruise night, to boot -
'Life was good....really good!',
thought Bill.!!!"

the T touring car even , let alone the
two babes!!!")

Strange, no tire tracks on either side of the car??

 

Hi SouthUrn, Do you have any notes to go with this ceremony....?

Thanks in advance.

 

Looks like a WWI military funeral. The woman is wearing a mourning band with a star on it, and is receiving a flag. The man standing next to her has two chevrons on his sleeve denoting a year's combat service.

 

Not that strange if you have ever lived in that crap. Looks like her car was stuck there for a while.

 

That's what I assumed too but the flyover would indicate a person of stature.

But who..

 

Mary Pickford presents Colonel H. H. Arnold with a service flag during a ceremony on Air Memorial Day (May 18, 1919) in Hollywood, California.

 

I love this "performance as reliable as it is potent" my '64 spyder was completely worn out at 49k miles , needed everything ie full engine kit. But it was fun while it lasted .

 

Corvairs were a bloody mechanic's nightmare. I don't think I ever made flat rate working on the damn things.

 

anyone else catch the '57 Ford with a supper skinny tire on the rear and no driver's side quarter? I guess it's two photos put together.

 

I was an experimental Ford Hatchetback. Yes, this is a bad splice job of 2 photos.

 

And no boot tracks of the cop.

 

Or maybe a two-page spread?

 

Someone cue the Twilight Zone theme music....

 

all from the San Francisco Public Library

 

Dusty-NZ, When you said, "it was fun while it lasted" about your Corvair Spyder, that tells us exactly why it only lasted 49K miles!

 

TTpete, Corvairs were nothing compared to how hard many of todays cars are to work on. So I guess its good that your not working on cars anymore.

 

I sure did.... loved seeing them come in the door. Push rod tube seals were my favorite.... Then clutch jobs.

 

Oh yeah. The Hamburger Inn. Run by two ex navy guys. One tall and skinny and the other short and husky. 10 cent hamburgers and cold dime cokes. My buddy and I would ride the bus as kids just to pig out on the eats there blowing all we had in our pockets. We also use to take hiking and fising expeditions out south of 41st through Dan Dugans Sand Pits and Fuel Depot to hunt for rabbits and down to the Sioux River past the interstate on 229. Wall Lake bike expeditions on bikes built for two with 10 guys / 2 to a bike.

Remember the Candle and Cue at the corner of Minnesota and 33rd across the street from the Sunshine grocery store? That morphed into an electric slot car race track during those times or was that it it the other way around? How about The Nobleman, The Prophets, The Pharaohs, The Czars etc Hy Y click jacket groups? .... and all the keggers at the Quary?

 

that is a cool lookin old woodie

That's a '35.

 

35 Ford. Ok, what he said.
