Vintage shots from days gone by!

Time to travel

 

Nothin' better than a HEMI powered blonde!!

 

Does anyone remember this photo? I thought it came from this thread but I can't find the original post. Just a cool pic and I was wondering where it came from. Tom.

 

A little something from the Orange County CA Sheriff Museum.

 

Sorry went the wrong way...

Rod, thanks so much! Tom.

 

This little Dragster sez Mickey Thomson is that him ?

 

Mario Andretti, according to Google.

Red X's only for me.

 

Looking east on 79th from Halsted in the Auburn-Gresham neighborhood, 1930, Chicago.

 

Working on the Woolworth Building. New York, 1926.

YIKES! The photographer had to have the biggest 'stones' of any of these guys. They had to be used to the heights. No, thanks!

 

I get vertigo just looking at the picture

 

I am pretty certain the guy who appears to be standing on the spire is photoshopped. You will note that his image doesn't match the others. Also, if you have ever been on one of those tall buildings, there are air currents that would make taking the stance in the pose impossible. It looks like he is standing on a skateboard or something similar.

 

Man I haven't seen those in years! as a kid I'd eat a box full if given the chance, and be sick all day. As it is the wife banned me from spice drops. ha,ha

 

Yeah man, no safety harness, waist belts or OSHA for that matter, just a swing seat with ropes... yikes.

 

I too, aint buying it. It's the only crisp and bright thing in the pic. And besides, how would a person get to that position without a crane or something ? Also he has no tools or supplies with him to accomplish anything with.

 

Think yourself lucky. I got text only.
Nothing to see at all.

Toronto 1947 & 1950

 

Found this tidbit in an old Ironside episode when I was doing the cars for IMCDb:

Old and newer Signal gas station signs in a San Francisco (or L.A.?) scrapyard circa 1968.

 

And she's thinking, "Nothin' better than a manual shifter!"
