Vintage shots from days gone by!

Olds p.u. that the late Dee Wescott of Boring Oregon built from a 53 Olds 88 sedan that was totaled in a crash just a few months after the car was bought new..

It is now. it was started in Portland by Bob Farrell and a partner. It was sold to Marriott Corp. in 1972 (not sure who owns it now). My first real job at 15 was scooping ice cream at the Washington Square Farrell's...and yes, DDDenny, the Portland Zoo had a slab of every flavor they served, topped with every topping they had, plus whipped cream, nuts and maraschino cherries (it was kind of gross, but they sure sold a ton of them, kids palates aren't too picky). The Pikes Peak was a smaller version with a more amenable flavor mix.

 

Do you remember the dodgem's. They were made in Lawrence, Mass.

Right. They are like giant stage productions, on the grandest of scales and incredibly hard to pull off. They are not snapshots, never were, never meant to be. Gary

WASN'T FARRELL'S THE HOME OF THE KITCHEN SINK????

 

From my home town, Mesa Arizona. This Cadillac is claimed to be the first car in town. For those familiar with the area that's Red Mountain in the background.
