Vintage shots from days gone by!

Does anyone have some info about this pick? I wonder what the heck he's doing with the rifles,,,



Sorry, I should have done some research before asking.
I found it, http://home.roadrunner.com/~limited58/WellsFargoLimited.htm

 

Here's an interesting bit of baseball memorobilia, a car only used at the stadium, between the bullpen and the dugout. What a collectable! Does anyone know if they still do this, or is it all golf carts now?

 

Really ??????????? Tell us pushbutton equipped TorqueFlite racers more.......


What carnage like this led to was a ban neutral starts: Where you had the trans in neutral, decked the throttle and popped it into Drive.

Still in the NHRA rule book.

 

A few pics from the Canadian prairie Provinces. 3rd and 4th pics are fro, North Battleford, Sask, which is where my 29 Chevrolet came from.

 

I'd say ol' Ernest is well armed with that .45 "Chopper".

 

"They think you are getting a ticket"----But, here's my phone number!

 

A few more shots from British Columbia.

 

And few more BC shots.

 

The Valentino cars are Voisins

 

The car in the lower pic is a (British) Crossley.

 

The bottom pic is a circa 1914 Poughkeepsie-built FIAT
with a later body fitted.

 

Hate to admit it but I was only at Niagara Dragstrip twice.
And that was in it's final year (though we didn't know that at the time).
I graduated high school in 74 and that was their final season.

For anyone interested.
The Niagara Dragstrip Video reunion is coming up on April 7th at the Aud Sports Bar and Grill.
They are at 6036 Transit Road in Depew, NY (Rt. 78).
Plenty of old video footage of the glory days, and usually Dean Johnson is there with a lot of old photo's and memorabilia.
Hosted by the Gasser Gang.

I usually go.......

 

Other than showing that you are so rich you can treat your hired help like crap, why do so many of the old limousines have open cockpits for the drivers and closed cabins for the owner?

I have never understood that.

 

I didn't check the website above, but that looks like Dale Robertson.

 

Yes, certainly some history lessons to be learned about the Snow Cruiser here. I found most previous posts and read most. Thanks.

 

Uh oh.... methinks there's trouble brewing

The Tragic 1895 Train Wreck at the Paris, France, Montparnasse Station: It is fairly likely that many of you may have seen this photo above before, of the famous 1895 train wreck. After seeing photos of it recently, it prompted us to learn more and find out the cause behind it. See many more photos, TWO GREAT videos and all the details @

Source sez 1954 but location unknown. That vehicle kinda looks like an old Dodge Power Wagon.
