See what happens, when you disobey "Do not park here"-sign

 

I think I still have a 6 volt cable winch that ran the convertable top in one of these. Cables ran through the top of the window frames to raise/lower the canvas slider. Those winches were pretty strong mu uncle used it as a hoist in his work shop.

 

I think I'm gonna be sick.

That's what I said!

 

Having spent the morning contemplating where to get a bunch of missing trim for a 52 Packard convertible. seeing this is very disturbing.

 

IBM 702, 1955

 

Construction of the Hoover Dam, 1931-1936.

 

Yep, you're right. Turn signals are in the bumper..

Lordy.... I had to go to page five to find the Vintage shots thread. Bringing it back to page one where it should be.

 

Vintage photo of the day: 1950, Original Caption: Mowing among the megaliths at Stonehenge must have been a mighty task. England's Salisbury Plain—home to the famous standing stones as well as hundreds of other prehistoric sites—is one of the largest expanses of rare chalk grassland left in Europe. The man in this 1950s photograph (never previously published in the Geographic) was unavailable for comment on his labors. His name did not accompany the image, and his origins, much like Stonehenge's, remain a mystery. - Photograph by Barbara Maddrell, National Geographic Image Collection

My Iphone does more than this computer. But I would still go back in time to live if I could.

he was unavailable for comment because

This must have been before Clark Griswold knocked them over, when he backed into them.

 

hehe, I never remember seeing that Griswold just watched the clip on you tube. Now that was fuuny

 

I just sold a scope like that one last year. Mine was a slightly earlier version called Hyers Dynavision, I beleive company later sold to Atlas.
Funny thing, I spotted my unit in the back ground on an episode of Pawn Stars. Not a featured item, but it was there. The person I sold it to confirmed it. I rarely see any of these left around.
