Vintage shots from days gone by!

Did they make a run for it?

 

“Highway 80, Forth Worth, Texas, 1938.”

 

New Madrid Ferry 1938

 

I wonder if they played Stilwell (which is my county seat).

 

Used tires San Marcos TX 1940

 

Ice cream stand, Berlin CT 1939

 

WOW...That '36 Dodge Brothers humpback truck sure is thrashed for being only 2 years old!

 

I'm almost certain they did.

Here's my grandmother working as a civilian at Fort Chaffee, she was there when the famous "Elvis getting a Army haircut" photos were taken.


Do they still have summer camps for kids?


Looks like trouble here, still the same way 60+ years later.

 

31 Dodger Did I get the date wrong on this picture?I can't tell if that is sarcasm in your post.I usually just post the date or info that I find with the photo if there is any.If not then your right that humpback is beaten up pretty good.

 

Ester Eddie, I don't think he's being sarcastic, just stating what I was also thinking. The Dodge panel truck would only be 2 years old in 1938. It sure had a rough life if the date on the picture is correct. Lots of times the photo info isn't correct, but I don't see anything in the picture to date it any later. Even if it's early 40's the poor panel still had a rough life.

 

rotf,,,

My sister and brother-in-law live there, and we grew up sailing the San Juan and Gulf islands every summer - I'd love to live there if I could afford it.

 

Do you have a bigger copy of this shot? I am trying to read the town listed in the star. Thanks in advance.
