Vintage shots from days gone by!

...such a beauty!

 

Mickey Rooney, from the movie "the big wheel", 1949

 

Emissions testing failure?

 

I had the privilege of observing the newly restored S79 only two days ago. Duncan Pittaway did a fantastic job. The axle and frame horns are streamlined with shaped wood filler pieces.

Mart.

 

Could you put the antenna up just a little higher? That's good, now hold it...

 

Darn,darn,darn!. Lily! Could come and help me with the car?

I like it but it does resemble a 1940 Dodge truck.

'56 Caddy?

 

Took these off the TV today ... just for fun ... love old Hot Rod films ...

 

Roomie, is that Tommy Hinnershitz sitting in that champ car ?

 

I think I've found my motor home...

 

ROOTIE , I'm sorry I misspelled your name, I just caught it now. Everytime I typed ROOTIE with small letters it would change the T to a M . Go figure ?

 

it's called...pre emptive text...or....a pain in the bum

 

Tram outside the boxing & wrestling stadium. 3 FJ Holdens in one pic.

 

FX Holdens ( for Mart )

 

British Standard Vanguard.

 

Something fast.

 

Ormond Beach action again.

 

It is, the car is the Scalvi and Amos Spl. that Jim Packard attempted to qualify at Indy 1960. Buster Warke was Scalvi's (Bell Trucking) head wrench and I assume Tommy H. was on the crew as well.

 

I had a 52 Hornet once. If I'd ever seen a Hudson like that I never would let it go.

 

Note the addition of the "Anti-Other Guy Cannon" protruding from the left side of the nose, a short-lived new feature for 1960. By 1961, this feature was all but extinct thanks to the great shortage of un-perforated drivers.
