"Packard - ask the man who's hauled away in one."

 

"Copa Room showgirl Lee Merlin poses in a cotton mushroom cloud swimsuit as she is crowned Miss Atomic Bomb in this 1957 photograph. Above-ground nuclear testing was a major public attraction during the late 1950s, and hotels capitalized on the craze by hosting nuclear bomb watch parties, which usually included the dubbing of a chorus girl as Miss Atomic Bomb. Merlin was the last and most famous of the Miss Atomic Bomb girls."

How about another special use Ford Panel, from the ***us Ford files? Let's go fishing! Imagine how you could out do everyone at the fishing hole with this one? My tackle box is better than yours!

 

Thanks Bowtie, for all you've shared. This one ought to get one HAMBer's attention...

 

Okay Don, I'll hold you to it! Fishing, that is. We'll be at White Rock in late August for a week before heading north. . . BTW, great pics! Ron

 

Thanks guys, this is fun researching and sharing these great finds.

 

That sounds great Ron, I haven't been fishing in years! My best catch yet, was a 38 lbs. Spring Salmon.

 

Time to keep them coming, for all the great people who have contributed to the HAMB!

 

What a time it must have been, when these pics were taken. Imagine what PETA would think of the fleet in the 4th picture!

 

These were some slides of my grandparents. I think all these are from northeast MN during one or two of their annual/biannual fishing trips with friends back in the 50's/60's. I was up there once about 30 yrs ago. Beautiful country. We were near Tower, MN.

 

Another shot or two from northeast MN, looks like the Superior Motel?
Thats my aunt when she was a little girl at the really awesome looking gas station.
