Vintage shots from days gone by!

I would love to see someone build the Model T coupe in the 3 in 1 photo.
Heavy chop, and a Latham supercharged Lincoln engine, if I remember correctly.
Killer!!!

 

QUICK! Somebody call ACLU! I feel I've been harmed and want money.

 

FELLOW GREYBEARDS: HERE'S SOMETHING TO CONSIDER: how much money in plastic gold would we have today if not for.....FIRECRACKERS????

 

I often just used matches on them.

 

The real Shemp.

What's interesting is there was a story about Shemp that as a teenager he was involved in a serious car wreck and never drove again after that.

or doing this

 

THE END......

The last Edsel off the line.

Freeport, IL High School yearbook, 1918 - the students chipped in and donated a field ambulance for the war effort:

 

My Brother and I spent some of the now rare silver dollars our Dad gave us at the local Hobby Shop.
We also used the "hot knife" method to customize a few of our builds. I still have the hot knifed 57 Chevy in my collection that I built like a Figure 8 racecar back when I was 8 or 9 years old.

 

Scottsbluff again, Christmastime 1953:


1954, and proof positive that SOMEBODY, at least, customized a bathtub Packard back in the day - filled-in upper grille and two-toned with Buick side trim:

 

Not to mention BB guns! I don't know how many models I destroyed with them.
