Vintage shots from days gone by!

Can someone put a name to this beautiful face..so I can call her in my dreams on Halloween

 

Happy Halloween........

 

love all that Halloween stuff....I never lost my love for that day...

speaking of witch rolleyes, here's Frank Gorshin dress and an old lady and some other guy dressed up like a future drag racing legend...

 

One to salute RodZombie's avatar at Halloween! Somebody
needs to tell Boris K. those coffin nails can kill him! (Oh, wait,
the Frankenstein Monster is made out of dead bodies anyway!
LOL). This is Karloff during a shooting break for "Bride of
Frankenstein," 1935. Being British, he'd have a spot of tea
with his smoke. Photo is THANKS to slamhype.com!!!

 

When searching Bogey pix, the CHALLENGE is to find one
showing him WIYTHOUT a smoke! THANKS, slamhype.com!

 

Bogey as a young U.S. navy
coxwain during WWI. His trade-
mark paralyzed upper lip occurred
during his service.

​

 

In reptrospect, a wild, weird era! Seemingly, every-
body smoke. And NOBODY thought twice about shilling
for a tobacco company! Somebody correct me, but did
I read recently that son, Michael, is battling a lung
ailment? Photo THANKS to burbanked.com!

 

I think he has throat cancer, which he said was from years of smoking and drinking

AND a smokin' '50s temptress, too! Again,
thanks to filmnoirphotos@blogspot.com!

(Yeah, Mazooma, that's what I thought I heard
RE Michael Douglas, but I wasn't certain. Hope
all turns out well. He has a keen wife and kid.)

 

Wow, what a great shot of Don Prudomme!

 

In character or in real life, Peter Lorre was
another fella who rarely was without a cig.





Photos THANKS to filmnoirphotos@blogspot.com.

 

A happier shot of Lorre, with wife Annemarie Brenning
and daughter Cathy. Hey, what model is the Merc???
Photo THANKS to filmnoirphotos@blogspot.com!

 

Cant have Bogey w/o Bacall, named my daughter after her

 

Merc? Is that not a '57 Ford Fairlane 500?

 

Oops! THANKS, Old-Soul!

 

where?........................

 

not a merc!!!!------1957 ford fairlane 500 !!!!

 

I only get to be right once a day haha

 

Huh? Did I miss something?

 

I think he was being sarcastic guys......

 

Ed, you are a generous man.....

 

It's actually TV Tommy Ivo isn't it?

 

oh wait, here he is

 

I remember the car shows there. Is it just me or were they better back at the Civic Arena than they are now at David Lawrence Conv. Ctr.? Even though the arena was smaller it seems like it had a better atmosphere for the custom car shows. Are you old enough to remember when the custom car show was at the Hunt Armory in Shadyside/East Liberty ?

 

one of the prettiest planes ever built, "The Connie"



The "Spruce Goose" which was made out of birch





















Just imagine for a minute.....you and some buddies walking through this exhibit of new cars.....all spotless and brand new.......

 

What the story with the F-86 Doug? Everyone pictured is in civilian attire, so perhaps the photos was taken during test flights?

 

Graham, I'm guessing it was during it's testing days at North American Aviation.
The first one flew in '47

 

Cool, I love those planes Thanks.

 

The plane in the background has a barrel (probably for fuel) beside it. It would make you think they were being readied for a ferry flight to new owners as the markings have been removed. They may also be CL-13 Mark 6 Sabres by the looks of the slats on the leading edge of the wing.
