Vintage shots from days gone by!

YIKES!

Box scores? I'm guessing this is # of reported cases and suspected sources?​

I would never have guessed that my favourite motor car would have had such a bad reputation

 

This conical or "cone" or "rocket" or "bullet" undergarment was the rage in the '50's and even good girls wore them. Marilyn Monroe probably started but everyone followed. I think it's Jayne Mansfield or Mamie VanDoren in the middle and the "girl next door" in the last photo. These circular stiched items are apparently making a comeback.
Keep comments clean.

 

Fielders Cafe, Kingsville Texas circa 1950s or early 1960's..

 

My sister still has ours! Played that a lot as a kid in the '60s.

 

Btt

 

Kinda neat...has that '60's high stance look. Ditch the high windshield, roll bar and fenders. Keep the goggles. Add QC indepenent rear and stretch WB. Keep simple frame and running gear -..would be a nice build for today.
Basic lo-buck chick magnet.

 

Yup, for kids up to about 10, this was a good rainy-day or wintertime time killer. Each part had a numerical value. Each play started with a body (thorax? LOL), rolled the dice and attached the requisite part. First kid with a COMPLETE COOTIE (eeeewwww!) was the winner & you started over. Thanks, SixDogs!

 

"Listen, son. You slam the clip into the M-16 right there . . . "

(And I got bitched at for showing a dad smoking while holding
his boy in a '50s pic? LOL)

 

Michael Landon transformed, THANKS to PsychoBabble!

 

This a low-res version of the '57 poster, as done
by the incomparable poster artist Reynold Brown.
THANKS to Wikipedia, it's presented here to celebrate
and illustrate one of the exemplary (can't call it
classic!) "teen" horror flicks of the later '50s. At not
quite 7 years old, I was scared shitless watching this
movie at the drive-in from the back seat of our family's
'49 Chevy!

Made for under $80,000, it made about $2 million in 1957
dollars -- pretty decent for a B-flick. But, like "The Blob"
a year later, "Werewolf" did for 20-year-old Michael Landon
what "Blob" did a year later for his contemporary, Steve
McQueen. Inside of two years, Landon was landin' the long-
term role as Little Joe Cartright on TV's "Bonanza." But,
LONG before he was Pa Ingalls, Landon had played Tony
Rivers, the troubled JD in "I Was a Teenage Werewolf"!

Again on Brown, you may remember two other other colorful
posters out of the scores he did in the '50s: "The Creature From
the Black Lagoon" ('54) and "The Ten Commandments" ('56).

The thing with horror movies at the drive-in was easy. The first flick was something light and airy and the scary one came second. Since the crowd thinned at intermission, the girls could then fake being scared and use it as an opportunity to get safely snuggled while fewer prying eyes would tell.

 

Looks like the girls are trying "the twist" while the guys fake it.
I'd say the guys are wearing "Sans-a-Belt" no roll pants so maybe early 1960's.

 

Anybody know who built the headers? Here's another set, photo taken at Riverside Raceway 1968.
