Vintage shots from days gone by!

rootie, is that cotton henning changing plugs on the boyle car ? tommy c.

 

Yeah, I was a real fashion plate back in 1964. Was the way I dressed and what I drove.
Only a child a mother could love
I'm soooo embarrsed.

 

It is indeed.

 

That little fender incident ruind that summer of cruising in the '58.

 

Rootie.

Never seen this photo. In the foreground are the remains of the 5 and 97 that were instrumental in the accident including the remains of the front part of the 97. in the distance the activity around Pat O'Connor's car. Shows what a real photographer can accomplish, as opposed to someone like me who just takes pictures.

 

It is a good shot, here's from a different angle:

 

Jimmy G - Your F.I. hardtop (with Treadle Vac!) looked great. What did the fender emblems indicate on your '56?

 

The '57 was a low horse factory fuelie car that I modified to hi horse specs and drove to school for several years.
I learned a lot about cars and hot rodding with that ride.

The '56 was what my dad referred to as a sheep in wolfs clothing.
It was a worn out "6" with 327" flags on the front fenders.
It looked menacing but it couldn't fall off a cliff.
It got me around for $175 for about 2 years so I had no complaints.

The '57 was waay more fun!
