Vintage shots from days gone by!

Gary, awesome pic of the '42 Willys Americar coupe, man. Never saw this ad before. Was the facing
right-hand page at the source too or just this left page? Thanks for posting, always!

 

Looks to be a 1936 Chevrolet Master Deluxe with the chrome hood trim.

 

Thanks, Dodger. You da man!

 

The dashboard matches the '37, too. I don't know what the chrome strip on the top of the hood on the car in question came off of. That and the chrome covers on the side of the hood may have been some aftermarket dress-up package. They look sort of large compared to the originals.

Longview AB CAN

From Wikipedia:

Longview was once known as Little New York, and had a sister town uphill to the north called Little Chicago. No one seems to know how Little Chicago and Little New York got their names and both towns actually grew up over night. In 1936 there was nothing there but an empty prairie field. Then, in 1937, oil was discovered at the 6,828-foot (2,081 m) level and people, most of them long out of work because of the great depression, came flocking and Little Chicago and Little New York were born. Buildings appeared like mushrooms. For the first time in years, men who without so much as a coat on their backs or a nickel in their pockets had the first money they had earned since the depression began. Today Little Chicago is gone and little remains to show it ever existed. Little New York was more fortunate, as it is now the village of Longview.
In 1991, Clint Eastwood's Academy Award-winning film Unforgiven was filmed in and around Longview, as was the television film starring Tom Selleck, Monte Walsh.

1960's Serro Scotty's - this looks a lot like highway 26 through Warm Springs on the Deschutes.

mercilesss:

The prisoner defiantly stares down Heinrich Himmler, Hitler’s right-hand-man, who was responsible for the Holocaust. Greasley’s confrontation with Himmler took place during an inspection of the camp he was confined to. The inmates were ordered to remain seated, but Greasley refused. Horace Greasley also escaped the death camp, but sneaked back in to rescue a German woman whom he had fallen in love with.

One of the most poignant images that I have seen, the courage and audacity of this man is amazing - this is someone with absolutely nothing other than his own dignity and his willingness to stand up defiantly and face death for what he believes. It shows exactly what we as humans are capable of on both extremes.
