Vintage shots from days gone by!

I love all of those accessories on those cars in post #89306!!

 

Would love to know more about this shot, and the aircraft. thought the top two pictures were of a Northrop A-17, but the wheel farings are not right, what is it??

Bottom looks like a Curtiss P-12, anyone know for sure.

Thanks for posting!

 

Those are some great photos Rudebaker!!!

 

Thanks, there's a whole photo album of them if my sister can remember where she put it. These are ones that fell out and my Mom put in an envelope. Speaking of my Mom..... She's the one on the left, then my aunt and uncle. Circa 1921, the train still exists, one of my older cousins has it.

 

You're close - it's an export version of the Northrop Gamma 2C, predecessor to the A-17 (and Douglas SBD Dauntless). The biplane below is an export version of the Curtiss F11C Goshawk.
Many more photos here.

 

Thanks, and thanks for the link; these are incredible pictures of a little-known part of U.S. history, aircraft exports before World War II.

"Bobby Lee Billings and Bobby Cunard of Jacksonville passing through Tallahassee on their way to Alaska"
My first question is, why?

 

Two examples of my fave '58 Chevy model - Bel Air 2-door hardtop. Similar to the Impala in body style, but shared almost no common parts above the belt line.

But what's with the rake of the two-tone blue one?

In Escanaba Michigan - Sayklly's is still there. They make some great chocolate! Pretty sure this store is seen in the movie "Escanaba In Da Moonlight" with Jeff Daniels as da buckless yooper

Tip-up Town - Houghton Lake Michigan. This looks like from the mid 50s. Great fishing and some great fun, it's been going on for years, eh?
