VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

A car show in a Sears parking lot...Lynwood, CA...1957.

 

Most of us built these early racers, lost some skin crashing, going down the big hill where I lived.

 

I built something like this as a kid when I was living in Australia.... Fun times....

 

SW 34rd Ave. & SW Morrison St. - Portland, Oregon

 

1943 - SW Broadway - Street car stuck in the snow.

 

My dad traded his '48 Chrysler Windsor in on a new '50 Lincoln. Kept it until '53.
My mother had a '50 Mercury stick with OD.

 

was it right hand drive ??

 

Definitely the best place around for sanitary ice cream.

 

The kid with bare feet ain't too smart, I always had to use shoe leather for brakes when my axe handle didn't do the job!

Henry is thinking "It will do OK until Chevy comes out with their small block V8"
