Vintage shots from days gone by!

We had a Cox Thimbledrome....... can still smell the fuel 45 years on.

 

I was born there too, in Blessing Hospital. Most of the downtown looks much the same, although its been 10 years since I saw the town. All my cousins, uncles and aunts still live there.

 

Does anybody actually KNOW if they built any of these woodies for '58? It's an awesome
Edsel woody ad illustration, and I just WONDER if it came to pass! Drugasm originally
posted it, but I just don't remember where. Sorry, my bad!

 

This should answer your question Jimi.

Yep....they definitely offered Edsel wagons
with fake wood trim like that in '58 I
remember when I was a kid, around
1961 or '62, a neighbour had one.

old family picnic

 

My family loaded up and ready for the move from Litchfeild, Mi to Pasadena,Ca in 1957. I am on the far right checking out the girl next door one last time. This is the car we murdered all the jack rabbits with. We had one of those old window coolers that held ice and you pulled a string to roll the ice around inside the cooler. It looked like a Hoover vacuum cleaner hooked on the window.

 

My wife's mom on left, my wife 4th from left and her sister being held. From Kentucky in 61 or 62
