Vintage shots from days gone by!

Alright! Trad to the max! Thanks, BowTie & Ron.

 

I quote Sgt.Hulka alot!!!

 

It looks like a forerunner to Lady Penelope's luxoliner in The Thunderbirds

 

Right, Mart. With ya on that. Though we ALL try and share info in the modern age, we still have to be considerate of original posters' rights and preferences. I've always just tried (though, I sometimes just lose track of where I got something, to be truthful) to give as specific credit as I can. I figured, if somebody does object to my "borrowing" or sharing their (credited) item on the HAMB, well, I'd just take it down and apologize for the intrusion. I've never had one person complain. To the contrary, a couple of guys whose photographic work I admired actually posted more of their own favorites on another HAMB thread I'd started. Treat people the way you'd want to be treated.

Yup, live and let live isn't a bad philosophy at all.

 

Whoops, duplicate post.

 

Unknown? That's Wilma and Betty in Bedrock!

 

Check this out. The '57 Skyliner BEFORE it got the official name! The great car guy Alden Jewell of the FlickR community posted this with the following comment: "I believe this is a very early piece on this car, probably before the Skyliner name had been selected. I think I also have an early brochure that uses the name 'Hide-Away' rather than Skyliner."

 

1934 Terraplane DeLuxe Six Sedan, thanks to an original post by Alden Jewell of FlickR. I
think this may just be the prettiest herringbone grille of the '30s (Dillinger liked it too!).

 

Did some reading on this the first time it was posted and I think this particular plane NC19905? crashed and burned in Cambodia in the 70s, The ex Hughes/ Cosmic Muffin was NC19904.

 

I thought that location looked familiar.

Its on 7th. street, just north of Camelback rd. The little strip mall is still there but the old A frame Whataburger building is long gone.

 

Some neat stuff posted today....

 

"Manhattan traffic jam on the West Side Highway, 1955"

 

Fort Lee, New Jersey, George Washington Bridge

 

Interesting top treatment on the '36.

 

Louise Smith.

 

Ethel Flock Mobley

 

Kissimee is near Orlando, very close to Disney World.

 

That 36 Ford looks interesting.

 

Oil Industry Bureau 1948

 

1948 Plymouth Taxi Cab

 

Isn't that 36 Ford a rare factory issue? I know there is a Model A at Petit Jean Museum that apparently came that way from Fomoco. They were meant to be a poor man's town car during the early days of the depression.

 

1929 Jordan Dealership, Oakland, CA

 

Exterior, scene of car crash, from bridge onto storm water canal cover, early 1940s. Details unknown.

 

"One of a series of photographs found in an envelope labelled ”persons selling tickets, Barrack St Sydney”. The unauthorised sellers have shrewdly set themselves up outside the State Lotteries Office. This photograph presumably taken without the subjects’ knowledge."

 

Northern approach of Sydney Harbour Bridge, night-time, 11 June 1947, showing wrecked two door convertible sports car.

 

Detail of scene of accident involving two trucks, corner of Balfour and Meagher Streets, Chippendale, early 1940s
