The concept car that the 1966 Batmobile was modified from.

 

King said in an interview that this photograph was taken as he tried to explain to his daughter Yolanda why she could not go to Funtown, a whites-only amusement park in Atlanta. King claims to have been tongue-tied when speaking to her. “One of the most painful experiences I have ever faced was to see her tears when I told her Funtown was closed to colored children, for I realized the first dark cloud of inferiority had floated into her little mental sky.”

VJ Day, Milwaukee WI

 

Mack looks like early 30s.

 

that's Henry Ford swinging that axe in attempt to demonstrate the strength of a Ford deck lid made from (I kid you not) soybeans.

 

#38101 What is this engine?

 

It's a '37 Packard.

 

I think that is the Hartford Auto Museum in Wisconsin.

 

I remember when "Sonny" (Sammy) Bono used to sit behind my girlfriend (now my wife) in English class in 1949.

 

Around '63-64, my girlfriend and I used to go to a club in Hollywood called The Purple Onion. We saw The Righteous Brothers there and the real Coasters and a couple of other great acts. Always sitting at a table in the back were Sonny and Cher in matching white outfits and both with jet back hair. Sonny's was done in a Caesar-like style and they were going by Caesar and Cleo at the time. The regulars seemed to know them but we never saw them perform. I remember Sonny was always saying stuff to her like "you are so great, baby!" That was before they had any hits.

 

A common sight with Prefect owners!

Love the driving lights, must have been a performance model!!

 

What is that front car??

To me it looks like a Mk2 Ford Consul...didn't think many got to the USA

 

in the same vein...

 

It is a 37 not a 41, the plates are 1941, not the car. The 41 Packard had side grilles though.

 

Back in 1948 Holden launch there brandnew car (FX 48-215) At there Fishermens bend plant Melbourne Australia.

 

1941:

​

 

1939 - notice the "formerly" name:

​

 

I think it's a White truck engine, built during the WWII era, possibly for military application. Not sure though, the image source didn't specify.

 

Piggly Wiggly trucks, apparently picking up supplies, looks like mid 19teens. Does anyone know the city? Date? What brand of trucks are these?

​

 

Mack Bulldogs.

 

Good Humor truck & kids, early 40s?

Hej 731132,
Thanks for posting loads of interested pictures from Sweden.
Sweden was a decade ahead of Finland (economically) in the 50's for obvious reasons.
The above caught my eye in particular.
I have never seen the Aero Minor II car in a scandinavian set up before.
Can you tell where & when the photo was taken?
Were those cars imported to Sweden or is this just a random one?

Another angle - looks like the same car:

​

 

well it is the 1960's LSD, flower power etc but seriously I am interested in hearing from anyone with interesting old pics of jaguar SS's, XK120-150's etc and jaguar racecars
