Long Lost Carshows of the past, Pictures found: "La Revolucion" 1949

nice meeting you man! i way dig those pics!!! good eye!

 

Very nice job on the pics. Definitely has the feel of real old photos.

 

Awsome! The multiple exposure ones are equally as cool as the rest. Those old film cameras were pretty tricky to load back then, so picture taking was sometimes left to higher evolved ones..hahaha. By the way, there's no such thing as 510 film..maybe 620, 120, 220. I have a huge collection of old cameras and sometimes use them at shows for myself, not for print. However with self publishing made so easy today, you could easily put together a small hard-bound book for yourself or friends..

Thanks for trying to blow smoke up our ***. Cool pix anyway.

 

I found these two pictures on a Wichita site. The first one is a street scene at Douglas and Broadway, taken in 1941. There was no year listed with the 2nd picture but it obviously is a "new car" show. Check out the bus!!! This was taken in the old Forum here in Wichita, where Daryl Starbird's first indoor shows started back in the late 50s. I couldn't find any pics of Daryl's early shows, I will keep looking.

If ya fotoshop the truck in the first picture the hemi may as well go away.
Great cars! Great photos! Thanks!

 

thanks. it is what I was hoping for. i came to the conclusion (with the ***istance of Farmer), "why am I shooting pics of vintage cars with modern camera's": something did not feel right about the pics. I dont have the time to photoshop everything, so this works for me and gets some neat results. I need to remember to wind the darned camera's though.

 

It was good meeting you, the coupe looks great in person. Next time wear some full length ****ies, you could almost never be able to date the picture.

 

Nice shots and a neat exercise! Some of you guys are rather thick however....

 

Great pics. Good vibe. The guy with the socks had too many modren tatoos for 1940's. Still, swell cars!!

 

thought they where old. until i saw an ezup in the background, new or old, cool pictures

 

I got to wondering when I saw the picture of the guy with the pants falling off his ***,,,lol

I'm thinking they did'nt do that back then,,did they ,,lol

 

full length ****ies are way to "rockabilly" for me! hahaha.. ill stick to the"ghetto length khaki shorts"!!!! hahaha... cuz im hellla ghetto foo!!

 

had me fooled until i saw the pic w/ guys wearing modern shorts.
nice work.

The stance on most of them rides is way cooler than in the day I believe, you cats that lived it may want comment.
