Vintage shots from days gone by!

Video of time lapse pics of a British 4 cyl teardown and rebuild.

The video runs for a couple of minutes and is well put together - worth a view, I say.
(May be slightly OT, but not by much, if it is)

yes,you're right.......sears didn't make it into this picture......but nothing like a $1.49 model car kit,and an Icee at Woolies, and then "riding" the bikes 'til our lips were sore from making motor sounds!!!! How we never knocked any over was beyond me!! CIAO!!

 

Think I caught two mistakes by the colorizer here - first, they missed the side window frames; second, Olds didn't offer a metallic gold in 1951. This is probably one of the lighter metallics they offered that year: Cascade Green, Dove Gray or Otsego Blue.

What do you guys think of the colorized b&w images? Many look very good to me but little things like that tend to spoil the effect.

 

I think the colorized images are great. Like a colorized movie, we will never know what it was like to be there and live then, but that gets us close.

 

I like the colorized pics. Even if the gold is not correct it looks pretty cool.

Yvonne De Carlo. Pre Munsters. A repeat, yes. But oh those gams! Appears to be belting one out for the boys!

 

Who cares if it's a repeat!

 

Allstate 175 built by 'Puch' I have a 1960, traded a Marlin 30-30 for it in 1966. It perished in Garage Fire 2 years ago. Sears also sold Puch 250 Twingles, saw Ad, never seen in metal. The Wards 350s were Benelli 4 strokes, called 'Baja', also sold 2 stroke 125 cc, I have a 1966, had Fiberglass Fuel Tank and Seat, also destroyed by fire. Since these bikes were laughed at by real bikers, poor boys could afford them.

 

I don't mind repeats at all....it's not a ''repeat'' if some of us never saw it the 1st time around..... perhaps, a 2nd or 3rd time "look-see", might mean it's worth another look again!!

 

Next car back has a guy with a pretty big ball peen and a block of wood "adjusting" something; maybe chrome trim..

 

You think they laughed at you huh!
In 1969 I traded a nearly new 6mm Remington for an old Vespa, I would have been glad to just have gotten laughed at.
Bet they wouldn't have laughed at this though.

 

^^This is no laughing matter.

 

Looks like Angie Dickenson?....them old Vespa's sure take a photo well!....love that pic!
