VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

I will have to tell that this is a picture of two working girls.

 

what is the half tire on the front wheel for? to keep it clean? storage/ dry rot prevention?

 

I think it is most likely a wheel stop (chock) and hold down on the trailer.

 

As much as we all love women, can't we keep the dirty pics on the porn sites?
It's almost impossible to know if I can open this thread in front of anybody, much less at work.
Respectfully, Thanks

None of these are bad enough that anyone could see anything unless they were looking awful closely.

 

Granted, but that's not how somebody somebody walking by would describe it.

 

Okay. with 6742 pages on part 1 and 1145 pages in part 2 almost 8000 pages most of the low hanging fruit has already been picked. I have been really trying hard to post pix that are appealing and yet non-offensive to everyone. I think I have been doing a pretty good job considering the high amount of likes I receive on my posts. I don't think 100 year stocking tops with grannie pants can hardly be considered pornographic. There have been a large amount of inappropriate pix that I have not chosen to post. In any case the comment has been noted and the subject will be tabled.

 

Amen.

 

Appreciated. There's also people's kids and grandkids getting into hod rods and seeing it too.

Well wishes. Thanks

And the last of them ..

 

Born. The twin engine Ardun equipped car appears to be a LSR or Bonneville land speed vehicle. The front tires are Indianapolis race car tires that most SoCal guys bought from Inglewood Tire Service in north Inglewood a few blocks from where I grew up. Inglewood Tire always ended up with a lot of tires after the 500 and Bonneville/dry lakes guys knew it. To a Bonneville racer these were the gold standard for high speed.
When traveling or storing an LSR guys cut up old car tires to put under their racing tires for protection. If you look at the trailer it has no springs as many didn’t in the 50’s. I still store my car off the ground and travel with old hi-voltage blanket rubber pieces under my current LSR tires in my trailer. Tubes were often split and used also and still to this day..
Another point I’d run those 16” tires you see on the front 250-300 mph today if in had them and needed them.
