Vintage shots from days gone by!

One of my Favorite Kustoms.

 

Back again with another pile (6 parts this time). This time, for the most part, my sources were vintage high school and college yearbooks. This took a bit of work as the scans on the Classmates site can be rather small, plus all of them had a greenish tint that had to be removed, contrast and brightness had to be fixed, and of course sized and cropped (and often tiled together). A few were from the center of the books so they had gaps in the middle and had to be re-aligned, so I did the best I could. Anyway, hope you like 'em - let's see how many get reposted by somebody else in the next week or two... I kid, I kid...
Part 1:




















This last one I found when searching for Lockheed F-94 photos.
More to come...

 

Part 2:




















But wait, there's more...

 

Part 3 (with many more from Chowchilla):




















Much more ahead...

 

Part 4:




















(this last one came from a Dos Palos alumni site)
Four sets down, two to go...

 

WTF is the story behind this? What a rush!

 

Part 5:




















Back when those things were a novelty.
Stand by for more...

 

No info other than it was in the days when the first American jetliners, like this DC-8, were still pretty new and exciting - this was from the 1961 Aviation HS yearbook from Redondo Beach, CA.

 

And finally, Part 6:
















Saved this for last. (Brace yourselves.) Remember back in '61, when a '40 Buick Model 91 long wheelbase touring sedan was worth about fifty bucks?

Okay. Remember Animal House? "When I get through with this thing, you won't even recognize it!"



"I hate those guys."

G'night, kids.

 

Look at the long traction master style bars on the 57 chevy

My mistake then. Just looked wrong to me.
Please keep posting.

Site search for a Thelma and Louise monument? Looks like a movie set I've seen but can't place the film(s). Gary

 

Interesting wheel cover/hubcap/trim ring on this 63.

 

That would be at Fremont drag strip. Sponsor on the hood was my uncle's auto supply in Hayward, CA.

 

Does anyone know where this is?
