Vintage shots from days gone by!

the American Motors AMX/3 that never got into production
hard to believe this was 40 years ago...so, I guess "vintage"

 

" if you have to ask..."

 

don't ask, I don't know either

 

either 1956 or 1958, France

 

haha, I'm not that old ,, yet

 

well, here's a vintage motorcycle shot...
I'll bet that handles like a dream...a nightmare dream
Have you ever seen a photo where all the people have the "WTF look" all at the same time?

 

too funny,
"you try it first"..
"hell no"!

 

This one was over in the "Car Engines in Drag Bikes" thread,

 

vintage Cokeheads
Man, look at those pants, you could shoplift a Fiat with those

 

Let's let MIKIE do it. He'll eat anything . . . so
he won't mind eaating some DIRT again! LOL

 

Bettie had a gift for teasing without coming off trashy. The '50s
wer a time when you had to go easy on "alure," and she was one
of the best. Maybe those who say "They don't make 'em like that
anymore, and, "the old way was better" are right! She had a ter-
rible childhood, during which she was abused. Yet she managed
to make the most of her gifts, even managing a good sense of
humor through her adult life. She only passed away this last spring.
It's worth taking the time to read about the life of this beauty who
ALSO had a brain.

 

WoW..
and thanks for the info Jimishemi, I agree with your sentiments, gonna look for more of her in google

 

i call those the pants that ate Fred Mertz.. lol

This is the building today listed as the location in the ad above...of Roth and Baron



here it was in 1959 with Ed himself standing there. Later the building was added onto on the north and south sides, but you can still see the old doors
