1000s of 1930-40s cars found!!!!!

Ok... ok...
they were found in a box of old press photos a fellow gave me.

They show the parking lot of the Cleveland Air Races
on September 5, 1937. Over 60,000 fans came to see
the air races and filled the lot at Cleveland Airport.

The parking lot at Aqueduct Park in New York on June 25, 1945
The photo captures the opening day at Aqueduct. If you look
closely you'll see horses rounding the bend in the second race of the day.

and a parking lot at Palisades Park in New Jersey on January 25, 1946.
Over 200 Ford trucks were stored there prior to shipping to South America.

I have had these in my studio for about 25 years and have enjoyed
viewing them every now and then. What better place to share them than on the H.A.M.B.

I'll be posting more soon. I have a bunch!

 

Thank you for sharing, I'm sure we'll enjoy them as much as you have!!

 

Awesome!

 

cool pictures but still not very nice for getting my hopes up like that

 

too cool! imagine trying to find your car in that mess! Too bad we cant just time warp the whole lot of 'em to 2007!

 

I've got a tear drop in my coffee. Can't wait to see the rest

 

Thank you.

 

Thanks! great pictures

 

Sweet ! Thanks for posting.

 

Just plain cool !
ok , awesome too ........
more please

 

Jeez, and they say cars all look the same now!

I think I see my car at the horse race - third row, eighth from the right;-)

 

Great pictures,... Thanks for posting them.

 

NEAT pic. A LOT of GI's coming home bought new cars as soon as they were released for public sale again.
Anyone else looking for any highboys? lol

 

Everyone else is checking out the cars, and I'm looking at Pallisades park!
I sometimes hate this amu*****t park addiction I have...........

 

Cool pic's !

 

Glad I wasnt the only one thinking this.

 

I think I just spotted my '37 Slant. It's the dark colored one. . . Thanks for posting!

 

AGREED.

I never bought into the argument that cars looked so different in the past.

 

Is that what Heaven might look like to a car guy?

 

And to think a lot of them still wouldn't be good enough to build to some guys.

 

damn it man , that wasn't funny
