Vintage shots from days gone by!

Yes, I have had many meals at the Hotel Laguna when I was growing up. We had some wealthy sisters who were family friends who lived in the hotel for a couple of years. There is a lower level access to the beach. My mother and I had Mother's Day dinner there the year before she died.

 

Trailer trash had some pretty nice cars back in the day

 

Interesting custom as a promotional vehicle, but what is weird is the "Betty Elizabeth" brand name. "Betty" is traditionally a dimunitive of "Elizabeth". So effectively you have "Elizabeth Elizabeth".

It's just me, isn't it.

I remember this pic from Street Rodder mag in the 70s. Obviously an older pic then, the caption read something like "A young Stan Betz works on a typical rod of the day. Short on looks and strong on motor. Note the hot setup in brakes - 39 juice binders."

Purely from memory.

How come I can remember stuff like that, but not what I had for tea?

They usually got a lot of oily wood slivers and died of infection in those days.

 

Cool Photo !

 

Sure looks to be the Syndicate Scuderia Willys. And me thinks Arlington Dragstrip with those yonder hills. Hope everybody had a good weekend.

 

Did you mean a "diminutive" ? ...guess that's just me.
