Vintage shots from days gone by!

It was pretty brutal for me to watch back then. And the girl looked just as scared as the horse. And there must have been some pain involved cause she sure took a long time fooling with that football helmet.

 

Well off to work.I hope you all have a great day and I look forward to seeing what gets posted here through out the day.

 

Ester Eddie, you have a great day too, and thanks for all the great pictures!

 

I really love this thread with all the vintage pics. I am 71 years old and can relate to many scenes displayed here. Keep em coming.

Don't have any history on this photo, caption on back reads "Pat, Joe & Al at Plymouth Road Air Station".

Haha.

Oh yeah! It must have been loud enough, to get his attention over the sound of the trike.

Here's some more pics from Vancouver BC, to add some Canadian content. Click twice for full size pics.

 

Cripes;this thread moves like a 392 on nitro...not that it's a bad thing.

OK;found this in an abandoned building in a bad part of Flint,MI. Looks like a Twenties-era pic,going by the style of dress. It's the factory(which I hope is visible) that intrigues me. I've seen another pic(here,perhaps?) of the Buick factory,taken from a "worker's camp" of sorts,and there was a suspended foot bridge spanning a river from the "camp" to the factory. This pic looks somewhat similar.

 

Shopped there whenever we were in Toronto, lots of bargains.

 

The detail in the Vancouver pics is fantastic. The Bear wheel alignment pic is fascinating.

Mart.

 

Found this photo in Florida at a gas station near the airport I was en route too.

Aylmer, Quebec, Fire Dept around the early 1900's and then the same building in about 1964. My Dad, the Chief, is at the far right in the newer picture

 

Re-filling the 1930 Bickle Pumper in the Ottawa River, and the factory photo of the same truck outside the factory in Toronto
