Vintage shots from days gone by!

Lest We Forget




Official U.S. Army photo taken during the broad Meuse-Argonne campaign,
which raged for over a month in late 1918, ending in a declared allied victory
and the truce of November 11, which we still celebrate as Armistice Day.
George Marshall (well known name) planned the offensive.

Above, looks like an "at ease," behind-the-lines pow-wow of French with
Yankee doughboys. The poor, brave men below were among some 300,000
final casualties in the final campaign -- just one bloody campaign of many in
five years of modern, mechanized warfare. For the next quarter-century,
folks throughout the world called WWI "The GREAT War" or "The War to End
All Wars," in the honest conviction that the powers that prevailed in the era
would never, ever allow such mind-numbing savagery again.

They thought that for just about 25 years, you know?

 

Mission Brewery still operates and is regularly visible to traffic on I-5 and visitors to the airport.

Parking available!

 

No. It says "Last vehicle of Studebaker's 1st Century" - 1952. I don't know if they're still around - does anyone else know?

 

It would be interesting if there are photos of the very last Studebaker made along with the ones pictured here. I'm guessing the last one would be some sort of Avanti? Sorry if I'm wrong on that. Don't mean to offend any Studebaker guys. Ask me a question about a Tucker and I'll know the answer

 

I believe the guy with the dark collar turned up on his jacket is Bob Williams, one of our old neighbors. He was a Stude union steward around the time that picture was taken.

 

now thats what i'd call a "hugger"

 

what!!! no helmet no pads no etc,etc,etc?

 

OH SHIT!!! Finally I have reached the end. After just under two weeks I have seen all 2376 pages of pics. Damn there are some AWESOME pics in here. In some ways, I really wish I could have lived at an earlier time. I see how children used to have an imagination and get outside and do things. Though it appears that for the boys anyway, the only choice of clothing was a white T-shirt and jeans. I really enjoyed the vintage bike pics as well as all the old pics of different cities. Thanks for a great thread. I hope to have some stuff to contribute soon.

 

There were only '63 and '64 Avantis. The last Studebaker is a Lark based car that was produced in '66. It is in the Studebaker museum. Here is a link to photos and a short description.

Thanks for that link. Very interesting. What a trip the lark with the rear engine is. Looks like a VW engine with duel carbs (or a Porsche).

 

Fly it proudly everyday!!!!!!

 

Gotta love a rear engine car

 

Does anyone have any photos of Roger Barlow's International Motors from back in the 50s?

They were reported to have lots on Wilshire Blvd in Beverly Hills, Hollywood Blvd next to Grauman's, Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, and on Vine Street.

Barlow was a dealer for MG, Riley, Jaguar, and Mercedes Benz.
