Albert Pk. 1956 that maybe at the Melbourne Olympics with Fangio,Moss and other notables on the track.
Nope: that is a very nice photo of a 1910 Ford T; don't know what somebody was thinking on that other one. I have the restored and unrestored on this one, so it is good. Thanks for the old pics.
Back in the day, trailers were what s is available. Looks like a modified boat trailer. In 1960 I was using tow bar.
Hello, Our teenage days of turning an afternoon date into a dinner function as a couple was fun. We all ended up in our Bixby Knolls gathering spot. But, we had spent the day at the coast and having dinner in the South Bay diners around the coastline, so it was new and fun for us. It is an impressive sight to cruise around the coastline and see the lower beach area down below. As we came to the lower Coast Highway, the lights grew to normal size. Jnaki Thanks, @themoose The one thing for everyone that attended the attraction was that since the car was parked in the vast parking lot, it automatically needed a car wash, ASAP. The coastal winds are strong on this cliffside location and the cars always got covered with thick layer of salt spray. We all know what salt spray does to paint and metal. The parents knew us and they knew we would be spending all day into the night with other friends. So, it was ok as a teenage function. We were not at a party imbibing the local drinks. Ha! Later on, during my last two years of college in Long Beach, the drive to San Pedro/Terminal Island and the whole Palos Verdes Peninsula coastline was a great drive and tour. My wife and I had gone to the aquarium a couple of times as it was a draw. The cool tank viewing areas inside were amazing. We could picture it just outside, down the cliff in those clear blue waters between the coastline and Catalina Island just off the horizon… “26 miles across the sea” was a popular song and as we saw the distance, it was close. And it all started with watching fish swim around in a huge tank. But, after the destruction of the whole Marineland complex and the move of the fish to San Diego, we still longed for those early times of walking around those cool inside walls of glass to almost be able to touch the fish. Years later, a coastal resort took its cliffside place. photo by Vnak from the water view angle. The coastal drive and views are still nice, but several of the main attractions are missing. One being the Marineland Aquarium and the other, the Wayfarer’s Chapel high on the coastal hills. The iconic glass/wood chapel was taken down piece by piece and stored away for future use. Landslide problems are creating the latest hazard. YRMV Note: In the summertime, a huge sailboat race from Los Angeles Harbor to Hawaii takes place right in front of the old Marineland Aquarium (Transpac Race) and is a sight to see from the cliff with hundreds of sailboats from small to large all take off for Hawaii.
