VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

Must be a union or government job...I repeat myself.

 

Love the little van.
What is it?

 

I'm pretty sure that's a Mercury.
There's an old saying. "A rose is still a rose by any other name".

 

It is with regret that I list the news that Fred Lorenzen passed away on Dec. 18th, he was just shy of his 90th birthday. Fearless Freddy was a fan favorite in the ‘60’s being voted NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver in 1963 and ‘65.
Mr. Lorenzen had dementia and was in a nursing home for a number of years and donated his brain to the Concussion Legacy Foundation.
Godspeed Mr. Lorenzen.


My thanks to @Toronado Jim , as a result of his post I googled Fred, an Illinois resident that made it big in NASCAR. I was not aware that he had passed.

 

My google-fu not being what it used to be, can someone identify the aircraft that are behind the 'vette?

Thanks!

 

Looks like a C-82

 

Beautiful (the answer, NOT the airplane ), thanks again!

 

I'm going to take a chance and say that bridge is in California.
That's the style of almost every state bridge built in California at least into the 60's.

 

Alco C855 5500hp NY 1964

 

And if you look closely, she is sporting horseshoe taps...
Damn I'm old.

 

I used to dream of her!

 

Do you know how fast you were going?

 

Ummmm, no.

 

Ms. Loretta and Ms. Patsy, at work.

 

Looks like Circular Quay,Sydney Harbour ? painting the big coat hanger.

 

Looks bit like English Ford 10,but bigger.
