Vintage shots from days gone by!

Daytona Beach, 1956

 

Commonwealth Avenue at the B.U. Bridge [Boston University] that crosses the Charles River over to Cambridge. The building is still there, although not a dealership anymore. I believe B.U. bought the building and is now
part of the campus.

 

Who is the kid in the lower left, about to eat his booger?

 

Hmmm, my dad has a story of getting an old ice cream jeep that was used to sell ice cream on the beach that he traded yard work for when he was 12. His buddies and him got it running and drove around on Halloween night before getting busted by the police. I wonder if this was that ice cream jeep.

 

That was my buddy Steve Broderick, he wasn't a booger eater! That was a piece of grass he was chewing on, but I will tell him what you said, next time I see him.

 

Packard and autogyro

 

Chrysler Norseman 1956

 

Boys sure out numbered the girls that year. So.... which one are you? I'm guessing you're in a stripped shirt.

 

Bet the Bubble Gum Machine got crushed!

 

Looks like it's only got a 2 barrel carb on it

 

likes the mileage....... and it makes the grille shell look taller....

 

I don't know who the girl is, but that is Elvis's favorite '57 FLH. He liked it so much he got an identical 1958 Duo Glide


Me.... I'll take Ann Margaret

 

Scotty Moore has a good website devoted to his days with Elvis. He identified the girl as Yvonne Lime who starred with Elvis in "Loving You". She started her acting career on Father Knows Best and was Micheal Landon's girlfriend in I was a Teenage Werewolf.

 

Yeah! Something makes me think that race down Paradise Road was 2 ringers trying to hustle each other.
The rollover was a nice touch

 

Must have had enough of the man a fre tuning issues ,and the grill height had people hating since day one ,,
Might have been the stunt double car ,,
