Vintage shots from days gone by!

A couple of clarifications. The driver shaking hands with M/T and standing next to Ed Pink is Connie Swingle (my old room mate at the Salt Flats). And Floyd Lippencotte's real name is Bob Muravez, a Road King along with the Snake, Ivo, Tony Nancy and tons more digger pilots. It was Bob's father that handed the "no racing" edict to Bob.

 

Wonder what he used for bait !

 

Personalized plate "1ST HEMI" makes it a newer photo.

 

Good catch. I'm amazed at the things you guys pick up on.

A tool???

 

Apparently, "autonomous drive" is not that new.

"Appetizers" being sold next to "corsets". Nothing suggestive there.

And I'm pretty sure the guy that Mickey's handing the dough to is Mike Sorokin of The Surfers.

 

Found while looking for something else:

New Diamond T school bus circa 1938, courtesy Tacoma Public Library collection (let's see, lower the headlights, make some very large bubble skirts...).

 

"Yep! There's yer problem - engine's missin'!"

 

Sunset and Vine.......

 

Mountain View High School students hanging out in the parking lot, 1938.

 

Curious to see that flashy wheel cover on a school bus. Makes me wonder if that photo was taken for Diamond T marketing/promotion?
