Vintage shots from days gone by!

Pretty much, that was just the way things were done , right up to about 1966, well in the Southern states anyway . I went to live in Los Angles in 1973. It was if I had entered a completely different world there as far as any dress code went .............

Once a Willys?[/QUOTE]

Sadly yes! It was a '40.

 

...this is a pic out of my aunts photo albums...what kind of car is that with the split windshield ? ..and check out the licence plate topper...seems to say "REPEAL"

 

31/32 chrysler.

 

So, what is that to his left? Looks big enough to be one of those multi-million-dollar (today) Bugatti Royales. Or a Duesy?

 

My Dad would never consider getting on a plane without being in a full suit and tie. Sunday picnics, too.

 

Looks to be about a 1932 Cadillac by the look of that fender mounted light.

 

Here's today's installment, glad you are enjoying them.

Back to everyday life. Notice the suits and ties here as well.

 

Very interesting planes Bowtie, thanks.

 

Looks like amongst other problems this '40 tudor had a leaking cowel vent, note the tape.

 

Looks like it says "Taxi" on the door?

 

Well, that's one way to fix it!

Good catch.

 

Damn small world! The Valley Stream Pacers were a car club in my home town, and the '55 Ford in the pic belonged to George Snizek, who went on to pilot the "Tazmanian Devil" altered that the auto service business that evolved from the club built. Snizek used that Ford to whip the snot out of my '55 convert; he never admitted (but I later learned) that he had replaced the original 272 Y-block with a 312 police Interceptor engine.
