Vintage shots from days gone by!

come on buddy! do we really need to post this kind of shit?

 

Appreciating society's growth is not an endorsement of our past.

 

Well put ..................

These are both resent restorations, the story of 'Glacier Girl' (The top aircraft) is worth looking up!!

Going through this thread I see many comments like this. Just wanted to let all know there are still plenty of places like this in most small towns. It sounds like the rural life is calling you. Less zoning, more room for cars, less crime, kids playing, police waving, etc.

 

Just a quick "tip of the hat" to SouthUrn (and the other regulars) for all your contributions
and time posting pics for this great thread. Really appreciate the variety too!

 

Steve McQueen playing DJ?

Is that

 

^^ Yes, Steve McQueen in his Palm Springs home.

And (I know it's a bit off topic as it's a modern pic) but It's great to see a pic of the Glacier Girl in flight. I watched them retrieving the remnants, I didn't realise it had been finished.
Fantastic.

SEPTEMBER 18

On this day in 1970, Jimi Hendrix died in his London apartment at the age of 27. Here he is performing at Woodstock in 1969.

 

Mod Squad Julie??

 

SouthUrn has posted many interesting, history correct, and stunning photos on this thread including this one and your contribution to this thread is naive, unnecessary, and un called for.

 

Huh, uh am I missing something here ? scrubba

 

Isn't it Elke Sommer?

 

As bad as it is it is still part of American history and should not be ignored or forgotten.

 

Another view. Wonder what her name was.

 

You can bury your head in sand and ignore the part(s) of history that make you "uncomfortable", but you run the risk of repeating it at some point.

 

I started coming to this thread a few years ago because it was about vintage cars and photos, not pin ups and other craps. I must say this thread has gone drastically downhill in the past few month. Yeah, yeah I know the wise guys will say, if you don't like it, don't come in. The thing is those guys are the ones that are posting the trash. Where are all the great posters of the past years?

 

Sorry if my post sounded disparaging in any way, I didn't mean it to be. Hell yeah its great to see 'Glacier Girl' up and flying. Just thought I would point out the age of it.
SouthUrn, keep up the great work man!!

Doc.
