Vintage shots from days gone by!

What's with the factory looking grille openings on the Corvair in this pic from post 79554, V8? Early Chevy van also looks sporty as well, maybe GM proving grounds?

This picture is taken behind the then new Tower terrace seats at Indianapolis.

This could be Doug Stearly, owner of a trucking company and future Indy car owner. I remember him driving a gull wing.

 

Just found them, Electrovair II AND Electrovan: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/...cles-go-on-display-at-the-gm-heritage-center/

 

1909 White (steam) model M. I believe the guy walking is Edward Payson Weston.

 

You would be correct. I recently found a group of pictures of the Pearl Harbor attack in the Los Angeles Times photo archive and this shot was included. The caption described the plane as you have identified it.

Good call, Doc.

Edit: MPresley beat me to it. I need to get up earlier......

 

I know I've seen Maryann posted, not sure if this pic has been posted yet ?




or this




and how about this one from same (or close) time frame

 

Interesting how well fed and clothed these folk are right after a war on their turf.

 

So just where do you think this photo was taken that you feel should have malnourished people? I am guessing since it says New York Post on one of the women's newpapers that this was taken in or near NYC. The War was not fought on our turf.

 

What makes you think these are Germans? The papers are in English.

Or did you mean they are well fed and clothed Englishmen?

 

No way that car fits in that garage.
