Vintage shots from days gone by!

Is it Dean Moons old Roadster

 

2 never seen before photos I just scanned from my late Aunt Lolita's scrapbook.

Lolita on right and friend Pat


Grandma & Lolita. Fords are long gone but I have the title to the 40.


Now here's my complaint. With all of the reposts, how come I haven't seen "The Hippie Chick" for a long time?

 

Only accompanying info: Taken in Hemet, CA in the '50s - early '60s.

 

I was thinking the same thing. I was a big Flash fan

 

I have read with interest all of the comments in support, and the ones opposed in regards to some of the photos posted in this thread.

I enjoy this thread for the history displayed in the photos. Regardless of what subject matter that history is.

History is important simply for the reason of reminding us of our past.

Time and time again we have seen that those when fail to learn the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat its failings in the future.

In my view, post what ever you wish and lets hope we learn our lessons.

 

Banff Alberta, July 1970

 

Damn fine looking hippie chick she is too!

 

Etobicoke (Toronto) Sept. 1955

 

Imagine what an original copy of this comic is worth...very cool!

 

well right now there is a #3 Green Hornet from 1941 CGC grade 6. with a 485.00 asking price on Heritage auctions.. a few years ago a House of Mystery comic I used to have sold for 147,000.00 that would've been nice to have..

 

This thread has turned into a joke.

Go back to the first 5 pages to see what used to be.


Personally, I think that the endless pics of VIP's in Limousines were the last nail in the coffin...

 

I'm just going to politely disagree with you.

 

Dog gone it,, used to be my favorite !!!

 

Los Angeles 1950

 

XP-300, I agree completely. You have a more eloquent way of putting it than I do.

 

Very well said!

 

Just did, good stuff.

I like cars and chicks personally but my mouse wheel can cope with just about anything thrown at it.

 

Here is a request. I would love to see a pic of the very purposeful young lady on the motercycle again. She was just crossing the start finish. The bike is a little sideways on dirt but she has the hammer down. Great pic.

 

???? XP-300, I don't know you but i'm sure you are a nice guy, but I think you may have gotten the wrong impression of the HAMB. It would appear that you and several others have joined just to post pics on this thread, am I wrong. While there may be nothing wrong will that rules wise, the HAMB is a site dedicated to traditional hotrods & customs, not world history. I have saved many pics from this thread, 90% auto and the other misc, yes I check it out every few days, but i'm here for hotrods & customs.

This thread for lack of a better term is (grandfathered) in I guess, as well as a few other threads that don't directly follow the sites intention. The recent re-focus has stopped alot of the fluff/OT stuff that got by in the HAMBs early years, this I applaud, I know i'm not alone here. Yes I enjoy looking at the thread, I have no opinon on whether it should be closed or left open, that decision is up to the mods.

 

I spent a little bit of time trying to find out who she was , what was her story
No luck but what a great image.

 

The Mod's don't seem to find many posts in violation of the HAMB rules, however this thread was started by DOG427435. I think he should way in on what type of vintage shots were intended. Anyone who wants to post different types could start there own thread.

 

Now back to our regular programing .............

 

Could it be Dot Robinson? I believe there was a series of photos of her posted a while back?

 

It's funny how here, just as in life, there are always people waiting in the wings to suck the fun out of something with stuff like "the rules say," "the original intention of this thread was,""this thread has become a joke because...," etc.

If you don't like the current posts, stop following the thread and let the rest of us enjoy it in peace. Is that asking too much?

 

Now that requests are being taken, I would like to see that one of the two little boys and a wagon (maybe) standing at the curb and the one on the right has a look of joy on his face that is huge.

 

I do think that it has gotten out of hand at times. A lot of this stuff really doesn't belong on a traditional hot rod forum. I usually just scroll past the trivia but I don't know how much longer it can last the way its going.
My 2¢

 

Jersey St. Toronto, 1946
