this heres the story 'bout a man named jed....

went to an estate sale at an old farm. bought some junk and in one of the boxes were some slides. I thought these were cool. taken in 1958

I went back the next day and asked if the truck was still there and the guy said when he was 5 he was playing in it and it rolled into a ditch so they junked it

 

thats a damn good **** hound

 

Neat old stuff!!!

 

He would've never been able to go fast enough to hit all that stuff in a Ford

 

Great shots for sure!

 

this place was all about death and mayhem to the local animals. there were stuffed heads and antlers all over the place. there was a stuffed and mounted baby deer that couldn't have been more than a few weeks old, it was all rotten and the head was gone otherwise I'd have got it.

great old farm, one of the last few remaining in the Fremont California area. not sure if the bear was local?? but the two bear pictures were taken at the farm

 

...the gas pump was gone, as was the willys

 

I'll bet that truck had to stink to high heaven with all that varmit on it

 

Damn, that's some mighty fine shootin there Jed...hehehe...that friggin cougar still looks alive...

 

poor kitty cat

 

...they had a mountain lion in a cage for a while when this guy was a kid. it was grandpas farm.

 

F-ing cool

 

These pics remind me of old pictures I saw of my mother'sw relates from South Bend when they caqme up here for part of the summer. Shot everything: squirrels, rac****s, weasels, ducks, geese, coots, mudhens, etc.
Too bad they don't come back now and try the same with the dope freaks......

 

All of this in FREMONT, CA of all places! Man, I wish I woulda heard about this sale!

 

I wonder if Jed ever shot one of those giant jackrabbits......

 

One of my websites contains found film from the late 40's through the 60's. I've collected undeveloped film over the years and then added some from estate sales as well. Most of the slides are just of people but there are a few that contain some older cars you guys might enjoy. I also tossed one in a bear shot for fun.







Anyway, if you're into seeing what everyone looked like aroundd the mid century, I've got well over 600 scanned slides on the site. http://www.mangofalls.com

 

man i thought those huntin shots were from here in alabama. california you say. weee dogy

 

My wifes grandfather was a trapper....If you went to his place day or night you had to help skin animals or stretch pelts. The guy sure smelled bad but damn the garden grew great! Roto-tiller was always snagging bones.....

 

That bear photo is creepy. It looks like it is sneaking up on that guy.

 

Not all car related, but kind of an interesting site. Thanks.

 

hotrodyblock, you're quite correct about most of the photos not being car related. I must have edited out a sentence that stated as much. Sorry about that.

 

Where the hell is Elly May when you need her....probably out by the cement pond hanging with her critters.

 

Jane Fonda wouldn't like those pics, but I do. Thanks for postin'.

 

Nice photos. I like the 37 or 38 Chevy pickup. The mule is not bad either.

 

That shot with the Bear in the background is pricesless. I'd like to see his reaction when he turns around and sees it. Where were video cameras and U-tube back then!

 

Makes me wanna head to the cement pond. Cool pics. Jed is not a big believer in shoot only what you can eat.

 

cool old photos..

and they are directly related to what we ejoy here....cars and the history that surrounds them......

what i was thinking about looking at that truck is, when you buy and old car/truck you have NO idea what type of life it had......as the old saying goes, if only they could talk...

that bear one reminds me of the commercial where two young guys are being goofy, messing with bigfoot.....

 

WHoa! That bear has lunch on his mind! Scoliosis boy in the black gl***es better jump. Wonder if that was the last picture taken of uncle Bob? Whatever happened to him?
