Vintage shots from days gone by!

Has anyone noticed the guy " relieving" himself on the deck!?!

 

A cushman scooter dad used to take all of us kids for a ride on, our hunting camp in background.

Note to what I remember to be a '61 Ford Wagon, prior family car to this one was a Red 1957 Ranch wagon.

Something else interesting is the Falcon tire and hub assy. If you notice there is nothing on the right side holding tire/wheel on. He used the falcon front hub. It had a HUGE sproket also and the 2spd trans. Top speed in high gear was under 15 mpg but talk about climb hills in low gear! haha




Here is another scooter dad bought back in 1964. Its a Montgomery Wards that was used as a local meter maid scooter. (reason for the black & white color vs the standard blue)
Its a 1955 or Older. Not sure on year. Always thought it to be a 1949 but that could be wrong.



So in a month or so above scooter will be 50yrs of ownership for me. I still own it!
Hoping to do a proper resto soon.





Here are ad's from 1955. Very similar but not quite . .

Maybe someone could help me out with exact year. Remember it to have a Continental Engine on it.

No one likes to hear about or see anyone who's been injured. But some of these images leaves one wondering how could the wrecks have happened. And how much damage those old cars sustained!

Hello everyone I would like to thank all of those who have posted photos here. I have been watching this thread for about 2 1/2 years and was caught up until last winter (2012-2013) when I spent every available moment getting a 36 Airflow on the road (stock).
I am now on page 4253 and trying to catch up, I never usually jump ahead and am very glad to see so many of the regular posters still here.
I was confused when looking at Southern's posts and seeing "Banned" under his name, I thought it was a level of position here until I got to about page 4240 or so and find out that he really was "Banned".
Anyhow I am very thankful for this thread and those that post I have learned so much, this thread should be eligible for a Government grant concerning world history.
A special thanks to all the Vets out there (Worldwide) I am envious that I cannot be a member. I have learned a lot by looking at these photos.
This is so much better than TV and my Wife wonders why I am laughing while at the computer and it is usually due to someones added comment most of which are funny.
Now I'm going back to page 4253 I think Ed "KooKie" Burns is at the top of the page.
Keep on Posting and long live Denise Diplock,

I should have waited five pages, Southern is back, which is good but he still has the "Banned" status. I'll go back to page 4258 and will not jump ahead again, this is like a soap opera, I gotta catch up!

 

I used to see this sort of thing all the time when I lived in India; there would be Tata truck frames rolling down the freeway, sometimes in a convoy.
