Vintage shots from days gone by!

Travelling salesmen's cars and trucks.

 

"Mom and dad after daughter need be lookin' cause Jack McJerkin he be nearby lurkin'..."

 

That is a very old Bench Shaper, I have one just like it.Mine is a Atlas.

 

At the time when this Tucker was up for sale, $3K was a lot for a used car. I would have expected it to include hubcaps!

 

nice!

 

Engines and where they are born.

 

I believe it was Kurtis' last roadster, a 500L. His most advanced also with ifs,irs, r+p steering. Too little too late though with Chapman's Lotus on the way. J.J bailed even before he passed his rookie test and went back to Stock cars. If you go to Concept Carz site they have a bunch of current pics.

That is Shaw in Johnny Vance's car late 20s early 30s.

 

Ha.Aren't these the cleanest gas stations you have ever seen?

 

When I see pics like this I don't see "old" cars, just cars.Fun times, great cars then.

 

This is more like it.

 

I think every town had a car wash like this one.

 

She looks kinda.......zombie.
Oh my God! The attendant is washing the windshield!

In honor of El Caballo, a few from Deer Park High School in 1960:




A little better shot of the grocery store, plus the auto body guy:

 

Days REALLY gone by!

 

When I was a kid, I remember that the dealerships put the hubcaps in the trunk to keep them from being stolen.

 

Why did you complain about foreign cars and tell people to leave if they want to post that stuff, and then go and do it yourself? Nice Australian Holden, but geez.

 

Has cars in it and is from 1963.

 

Early OHV 331 Cadillac engines with the two bolt valve covers, much like the Ford Y-Blocks that came out a few years later.
The early type Cadillac valve covers are apparently hard to find these days.

 

Trivia question:who is the man playing Ronald McDonald?

I had to look it up, but it is/was Willard Scott. It looks like their fries evolved over the years, too.

 

You are correct sir
