Uhh Ohh! This guy seems to have "wide stance" !

Naw, seriously, great photos. Were all the first batch in one box? Somebody had a good eye for cars - that '35 roadster was fine.

 

On the back of the exhibit cards is International Auto Shows,with a Michigan address.Some had said that some of the shots were from the Autorama in Detroit in 1958,not sure if they were all taken there.



On another note,does anyone know if this car is still around?On the back of the card it says....

1958 Chevy mill bored to 301 cubic inches

I noticed that this one has the most detailed specs. of all the exhibit cards...would love too see more shots if someone has them

I did find out this is the same Bill Neumann who started Neuspeed Performance and that he also worked for Petersen Publishing.Theres a pic of this very car on the Neuspeed website too.........

 

Cool - I can spend hours looking over vintage photos - the best.

Love looking at old pics, thanks for sharing!!

 

It's been a minute since i posted some pics..Heres some more to get it going...Enjoy

 

Those old pics make great desktop backgrounds...

Also, that 39 chevy flat-back sedan has gotta be a rare car!

 

speechless. share everything you got!

 

Really enjoy looking at your pictures. I love looking in old photo albums either my own family's or stranger's and not even just for the cars but the history of it all.
Cool Stuff.

 

DAMN!!!!!! Where is this car today??? Gotta be somewhere!
Thanks for posting them. Love to see the way they REALLY were!

 

Great photos!

Thanks for taking the time to scan and share them.

 

COOL AS HELL!!

What the hell is the Green Space ship at the top of the Page??

It's the Stiletto. Handmade, I believe, by the Gerstner Bros. in New York. Commisioned by car show promoter Bob Larivee in the late 60's-early 70's. Great styling (if only the front wheels could have been concealed). One of the better bubbletops.

 

VERY cool...thank you!

 

All too *****'n! Thanks much!

 

Holy ****, those are great pictures!Thanks.

 

Great pictures. Esp. the ones with the people, makes you wonder who they were where they were going or wher had they been.

 

About 25 years ago I bought two cedar boxes
at an antique store. They were filled with family pictures
shot on 35mm slide film. Mostly family pictures etc.
There were a few with old cars. Here are a couple I
just scanned. Check the 46 Chevy truck and the
old Gulf station. Although the quick scans I just made are ok,
the original AnscoChrome colors look like they were shot yesterday.

 

This car is very interesting.
I believe that it started out as a 1932 Auburn Boattail Speedster.
There might be a Deusenberg V12 under the hood.

Current Value of a 1932 Auburn Boattail Speedster
$400,000-$600,000!

 

awesome vintage pics keep them coming

 

Awesome pics! Man, another place in time....
