  4. Having owned and driven both a 1950 Oldsmobile and a 1950 Ford (in their day) THERE AINT NO WAY the two of them could compete on the same race track!!! The difference in performance was night and day!!!

    The '50 Olds in this picture is probably lapping the Ford and the Stude for the umpteenth time!
     
  5. I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!

    Don't change a thing!! ;o)

    Now in my mid-sixties and as I listen to some terrific oldies on a internet station in Pittsburgh,one cannot relate to all the memories all of us have had,some better than others. We grew up with a passion for cars...girls,music,planes,music,trains,families,good times,bad times,loves,treasures,and some still live it,some wish...it was and is real. Phil & Don are no longer...neither are some in these shots. Thanks for this site,the memories and be it real or perceived,listen to some great music,and enjoy. Life is short,when I drive my 37 Ford coupe...I am a teenager again,by the way...don`t challenge an old dude as you might be surprised. By the way...some of us cheat like H...! Thanks for this site and the HAMB. Bitchin,just bitchin!

    I agree `37. Every evening I bring up the Internet radio, sit back, look at the old photos on this site and relax. I have seen much in my 76 years...

    "Call me a relic call me what'cha will
    Say I'm old fashioned say I'm over the hill
    Today's music ain't got the same soul
    I like that old time rock and roll"
     
  13. I love these simple street scene photos. They are visionary memories that seem more real to me than a lot of the world that we live in now right outside my widow. Hard to believe that they are that far in the past.
    This thread is better than a shot of Jack for relaxing.

    Earthquake damage, Long Beach, 1933. Oh, to have that almost-new deuce roadster, complete with rumble seat!

    Balboa Inn, 1954. My brother and I got kicked out of it, blood was not sufficiently blue.

    "Colorado Lagoon," Long Beach, 1937. Think that is a Studebaker coupe closest to camera, Chev sedan and a pretty new 33-34 Ford coupe.

  26. OK, I just subscribe to it and it has some really cool shots there but, I won't give up this thread for that one. No way, owe to much to the guys that have been posting here for so long. Long live Vintage shots from days gone by! :D

    Amazing post, cool to see something we all hear about but very few get to see such a piece of history, very cool -
