VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

A friend and I were there, and having turned 18, we both went to the Beer Garden first !

 

LA 1962

 

Northampton, MA.

 

My mother, father and I sitting on the lower roof

 

Robert Mitchum in Thunder Road, 1958.

 

"DO A BACKFLIP!!!"

 

Love the proliferation of FORD engines down under.

 

Ahh, the infamous truck eating railroad bridge looking east towards Hadley, MA.

 

I remember the euphoric feeling I got walking into Ernie's bike shop as a kid in the 60's. It was pure heaven! Lots of Columbia bikes made in nearby Westfield, MA.
Dave, do you remember the guy's name with the gimpy leg. That wasn't Ernie was it?

 

General Motors ad copy 1963:

Honey after you're finished with these floors be a doll and take the CORVAIR© down to the Piggly Wiggly and grab me a 6 pack of Schlitz.

oh, and you missed a spot...

 

The class numbers threw me til I noticed it was probably Australian

 

That is a GREAT pic stude54ht. Thank you.

1 more car I promise,Rex Winter
Dry n windy Lubbock TX

 

Yes Y Blocks ruled here in the 50's & 60's & later FE's become very popular.
BTW Great pic's @Al G

 

I immediately thought the cars had an Australian look, but the class designations throw me for a loop. Stateside A/GS would be a supercharged coupe or sedan, did the S stand for street in your country?
