Vintage shots from days gone by!

Pretty sure that's Oliver Reed at far right. Appears to be a British film judging by motorcycles. Sorta looks like young Julie Newmeyer (Newmar) but I doubt it.

 

Quite a Camel Toe

 

Best guess is Shirley Anne Field.

 

good guess

It ain't the prop, these are piston engine aircraft. Girls, bridges etc also don't have anything to do with cars, it's days gone by.
Those of us 60 and over remember piston engine planes, our Dad's fought in WW2, many in aviation. Lot's of mechanics made then, lots of skills from the war, metalworking, electronics, mechanics etc. plus you could buy WW2 surplus up until the mid 60's.
BIG, 1000+ HP piston engines are cool!

 

I did not notice

 

If I had a cherry '56 Bel Air I'd look a lot happier. Maybe it's the matching sweater his wife made him wear.

 

Maybe he isn't smiling because he still gets to drive the 59' Family Truckster in the driveway and MAMA gets the Bel Air. LOL

"preview post" to check it out,

He prolly told her he wanted a Ford, but this is what he ended up with.

After all, they do look alike, eh? ​

 

SWI66, in your post 82474, the fourth photo from the top appears to be the excursion steamer "Avalon" at the old cobblestone wharf in Louisville. I believe she is now the "Belle of Louisville" and still steaming.

She was purchased by then Jefferson County Judge-Executive Marlow Cook in the 60s, and has undergone constant refurbishment ever since. This steamer and the old Delta Queen always had a big race during Derby Week.

One aside: Judge Cook used to keep a bowl of pennies on his desk. Whenever a visitor complained about the money spent for the boat, he'd take two or three out and hand them to the complainer, saying, "There you go, that's your share of the cost as a taxpayer."

Thanks for the memories. I don't feel qualified to comment on much on this forum, but it's nice to see something I think I know a little about.

Whenever i see a Ford Built Willow Run B 24 i wonder if my father who worked at pre fuel final inspect handled that particuliar plane.Here is his gold pin from Ford when he,his 3 brothers and my Mother worked at Willow Run.

 

Kinda looks like Nixon. Maybe he's pissed that Ike got a limo, and all he got was a lowly '56 Chevy.

 

Car Crazy Cutie is one of the 'boys' best songs and no heard often enough! thanks for posting.

 

I've read that the 1930's era heavy cruisers ( 8" guns ) had hangers for scout aircraft but, have yet to see a picture of one. Does anyone know for a fact that that is what this pic shows?? It would seem so, but, wish to make sure

 

Olsons 5 & 10 cents store in Milwaukie Oregon, scene of much browsing when I was a kid in the 50's-60's!

 

Maybe his pissed 'cause they didn't wash his white walls when he had the car washed?
