Vintage shots from days gone by!

The late great Dick Page's '32 ... soon to be re-done.

 

Maybe the two words should be around the other way?

 

The car is an Oakland - somewhere around 1916-17.

 

This one has been identified. The location is Canterbury Court in Christchurch, New Zealand, the date 1973. The show, Autorama '73. The car is a customised Humber 80 (a local version of the Hillman Minx which was produced to give the Humber dealers something to sell). The car was named Poison Ivy and apparently still exists. There are pictures of this event available but are out of the time frame for this thread. The Canterbury Court building is still there but since the 2010/2011 earthquakes has been used for commercial purposes. Google it at 22 Twigger Street Christchurch.

Wonder if it is a real dragsnake?

 

The Netherlands are known for wet weather, but we have snow too.
The lack of mountains asks for creativity.
Maus Gatsonides and his Kwik (Mercury) (Say Quick) help out!

 

Most Corvairs in Holland in the sixties came from GM Antwerp, assembled from KKD shipped from the US.

Norm Longfield's T out of Sydney, Australia. The photo is probably from the early 70's. The car is still in Norm's collection although it now has small block Chevy power.

Not to sound argumentative, but are you sure about that? Dizz Wilson's car is in the background and I don't remember him running any of his own cars in USAC or AAA. Perhaps an IMCA show somewhere?

 

Thanks, hotrd32...always love those "homemade" snaps!...

 

Jim McElreath was in Wilson's car that day at Langhorne which is the day Bobby Marvin was killed.
