Vintage shots from days gone by!

I believe Indy. Elmer George wrecked it in practice 1955 though it doesn't look like Indy, it could have been taken along a infield access road. (?)

 

One of the coolest drive in's of ancient Portland. Long gone.

 

Remember when theaters were palaces? Portland.

 

Meter Maids, to be replaced by surly "parking police".

 

Check out that yellow and white two tone.

 

Waddles, one of the great crusing spots

 

The old Radio Cab lot.

 

Is that the same flood that wiped out the town of Vanport? The current location of Portland International Raceway?

 

Yes, I should have captioned it.

 

This is the old "Coon Chicken "restaraunt on Sandy Blvd. It's hard to believe today that such blatant racism was accepted then.JEEEZ.
Disgaceful!

 

Old ad for Broadwat Cab in Portland. I drove nights for a couple years.
Cool huh?

 

The old Crab Broiler in Portland. You always had to wait to get a table, but it was great. It's replacement is like a giant Denny's. Not the same at all.

 

Bailey & Graham Buick, I THINK they are still in business?
