Vintage shots from days gone by!

That sure looks like a Cougar in that Corral . Not so much a Pony then????

 

Note the date on the photo. This is still in the styling detail exercise stage at Ford. It is not a production car.

 

That's why the wink at the end of the corral statement, I knew that names were being thrown around by styling/execs and they finally ended up with Mustang in 63, My Stepmother had one of the 1st ragtops bought for her on Mothers Day 1964 from Tom Sherlock Ford in So.Pas. when they had a pretty cool performance dept. It's a pretty cool image though....

these pictures were apparently taken before SHORPY had his chance to
stamp his "96 year after the fact" name on them.....

(also, apparently before I was banned and my photos were deleted too)

It looks similar to the critter Ford used in their emblem/logo in the early to mid `50s

 

That's JFK and Jackie in the Merc Convertible.

Did this guy get a ticket in his own driveway for parking too close to a fire hydrant? Only in MD!

 

Some pictures of Pasadena, CA


Colorado Blvd. start of the Willys economy run.

Colorado & Marengo, late '20s



E. Colorado, 20's...grocery stores were small like this


Falcon Knight, near the Green Hotel


Gilmore Gasoline/Miller Tires, both long gone...E. Colorado Blvd.
Hudson, complete with landau irons...back in those days the first thing you did with a new car was to pose with it...now, with that new Camry, not so much.

West Colorado, near Orange Grove...interesting way to sell Hupmobiles. The white building on the left at the top of the hill is the Pasadena Elks Club, still there today.

 

More Pasadena CA photos:


First thing you did when fenders got bashed is to take a picture of it...nice LaSalle



North Lake...towards Altadena


This was near where Dave Mitchell would open his muffler shop







Tower in back is still there.

 

Could this be our own Dean Lowe? Sure looks like his car.

 

Those Pasadena photos are tricky. When you use the usual way, by copying image location and pasting, this is the result:

It cuts off the right side of the image. Best way to do it is to hit the F11 key to go full screen and adjust the slider until the image is the size you want, then hit "Prt Scr" so you get a nice big image like this (1280x720p.):

This format is used by many online archives. If you're lucky, the image was saved as a hi-res scan, and you can zoom in for a nice detail shot such as this:

Save it to whichever photo program you have, crop and adjust brightness and contrast as needed, then post it on your favorite hosting site, and here you go:

I've done it with hundreds of photos I've posted here and it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
