Some Vintage Pics

I got a big box full of old 8x10 photos at an estate sale and scanned them. They were all taken in and around Meridian Mississippi in the 20's and 30's. Here are a few of the car pics:

 

Wow, cool photos. Check out that weird "submarine" car in the gas station photo.

 

Thanks for the pics - dig the submarine car. Is that Roscoe Turner with the plane?

 

Here is a zoomed in pic of the car. I have no idea what it is/was:

 

Yes, the picture has Rosco Turner, Al Key, and Fred Key written on it. I have no idea who any of them were though.

1939 rocket car


Spotted this in SIA #146 from March/April 1995. At such a cost to build back then, it would hardly make sense to have s****ped the Mars Express. Somebody please tell us this still exists.

Damn, i thought it was the "AREA 51 SHUTTLE BUS" Next stop,Roswell!!

 

Well,..... If that car was successful, it's probably still sitting on Mars. I heard they didn't take enough gas to make it back to earth. haha

 

Wow! Cool pics!!! Thanks for blowing the dust off off your hard drive and sharing them!!!

 

A few more:

 

This was actually the 1939 filming of the, now lost, Back to the Future.

Too cool ! Thanks for sharing. People shure wore a lot of white back then.

 

plane looks like a Curtis Robin.

 

I thought it was a 30's era Batmobile!!

 

I think Plowboy's Grandpa built that...
