Vintage shots from days gone by!

Let me retract my previous statement. I have no Idea.

 

1936 Decatur Indiana

​

 

1927 Washington DC

​

 

1922 Daytona Beach

​

 

1959 Havana Florida

​

 

Source sez these planes are General Motors "Fisher" P75. Date unknown, guessing they're late 40s/early 50s (tails and the #s differ, not sure if year is indicated on those #s):

​

 

B49 with prop/jet engines? Not sure of the designation(s) or year but guessing late 40s:

​

 

My kind of cupid...

 

Caption gave no clues, just said it was taken in 1903...

 

House of Hopper?

 

Yeah, not sure when the Sandridge line was closed down - musta been before the late 60's / early 70's, cos I remember it never ran in my memory.
The bridge over the Yarra was left there for decades until the whole Southbank redevelopment was done. That was in the early 90's, I know that 'cause I worked for the company that was involved in building that complex.
Are you sayin' that the one with the tram at Elizabeth St was up at LaTrobe rather than Bourke? I dunno - I reckon it's Bourke, but it's a 50 year old pic and I aint that sure.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
Cheers.

 

That's because the bottom 2 pictures are a YB-35

 

So, what's the rough Boone & Crockett score on these two fine creatures???

 

A real classic...

 

County Stadium Milwaukee. 1954 or 1955?

 

Yes, I'm sure it sold a few years ago. I'll ask my dad if he knows where it went

 

Let's get back to Tacoma and the Pacific Northwest Washington.

 

Lil32,the fourth one, W-class tram front & centre, is Melbourne from the Argus Building; Shot tower (under glass) and Swanston St apartment block still there now, not much else.
and Dad-bud, that box girder across the river is still there too; afaik classified/listed (it was the oldest train-line) but the grade separation was erased from there back towards Port Melbourne, where a very similar bridge crosses Montague St.

 

more. The barn in the 6th picture was one of the biggest illegal still operations ever found.

 

and some more.

 

More, more more.

 

There's a lot more to come.

 

Vintage 1962 Chevy Ad - yes even the Corvair

​

 

After the Ford Plant closed, the building was converted into food wharehouse for First National Stores. In the late seventies the building was converted into The Assembly Square Mall, that still stands today.

 

Thanks J.Jock.

 

.....

 

Betty White??

 

I'll find some more pictures of his. I know there where a buch of pictures from the bomb sites from the sorties.
