My first visit to Portland 1965, flew a twin Piper Comanche into Troutdale on a dark cold night, borrowed a car and drove to Farrell's. Had a hamburger, drove back to Troutdale Airport, slept about four hours. Early morning cleared ice off a Cessna 150, followed the Willamette river to Salem then on to Santa Paula Ca. December 24, 1965

 

I wonder who's on stage?

 

A few pictures of Las Vegas at night. Great atmosphere.

 

Was this the first Funny Car?...LOL!!

 

Joe Roberts reminded me of a wrecking yard full of Studebakers near where I lived in the 60's.

 

Forgot to mention they were in the heart of suburban Sydney. Have a few more if you would like to see them.

 

Love it..

 

These are from Buxton, NODAK summer of 1958. You have to look hard to find it on a map.

 

Yes, for about 3 seconds, then you see just a roadster getting babtised...

 

The picture with all the Cadillacs in it reminded me of a hotel we had in my town years ago. The Irvin Motel, owned by a semi recluse who had a affinity for Cadillacs, and hardly any customers. Rumored to be a meeting place for the dixie mafia, it burned down under mysterious cir***stances, and all the 40s thru 60s Cadillacs were hauled off for s****. Owner died in fire. It was on Hwy 11/80 east out of Meridian.
