Vintage shots from days gone by!

Found a current pic off of Google Location is E. North St. and N. MLK Dr. in Decatur IL.

 

I believe you are right about the Jersey Shore!! I was thinking Ocean City!! Don't know?? Pete

 

The blue 60 Chevy must be a Biscayne because it only had 2 tail lights on the trunk with no back up light . The white 60 might be a Bel Air due to the 3 lights and V8 wings on the trunk lid.

 

^^^ I think it's an Impala because of the aluminum panel behind the taillights.

 

Impala

 

Why the 2 colors on that vw ?

 

To confuse the witnesses.

 

I don't recognize the location but Hershey's ice cream is made in Harrisburg,Pa.

Hey Olio, miss your posts.

My old man always bought ratted out studes. I think he preferred ones that required new cuss words before, during and after working on them.

Ah! We have completely different backgrounds, I can tell. As it turns out, my old man's only new Stude also was a 60 wagon. Bought from the dealer in Rochester MI. White, 4 dr, automatic(I think). At 15K miles, it was parked, and that was that until the crusher in 1976.

Sad.

 

Amazing with today's technology to realize that a few short years ago that a car could be crushed with 15K miles. That is sad.
