Vintage shots from days gone by!

Why is it that everything old looks cool. Especially everything from the 50s. Great pictures.

 

Since everyone is in the mood for snow

 

Help here. I'm thinking, maybe, that wagon at the right is a '55/6 Hudson, rather than a Nash. Any AMC help in HAMBland?

 

I think this illustrates the point I made before: The Gallipoli campaign was a noble effort on behalf of the ANZACS but a debacle for a younger Churchill. And, no, I don't think that it was repeated in the second war.

 

Jimi, I think it's a '58ish rambler.

 

Jeez, I hope with lending his comb
around so often he didn't get these!

THANKS, NoBoD!!! I'm not good on the Hashes and late-'50s AMCs.

 

I think it is a 58 Rambler Cross Country wagon. 59 looked pretty similar but based on the other '57 cars in the photo, my guess is that it is a '58.

 

Gees, I'm from the 50s . . . Wish you'd tell that to my wife!

 

Being there's a '57 Hudson (or is it a Pontiac?) and Ford also in the pic, I'd bet the Rambler is also a '57. If I remember correctly they had those same taillights and fins for several years.

 

Not a '56, for sure, as they had no fins. I think it's a "Cross Country" Rambler Custom, thanks to you guys' input! THANKS!

 

Great publicity still, THANKS to LegendsRevealed.com! Left
to right, looks like Roger Smith (the lucky man married to
Ann-Margret since the 1960s), Edd "Kookie" Byrnes and Efrem
Zimbalist, Jr.

 

1905...............still uses the same track, ..........1000yds

more Hillclimbs

 

anyone notice this thread is approaching 3 million views!! ha ha awsome

 

The other cars are 57 Pontiac and 57 Ford. The 56-57 Rambler wagons have rounded fins, the 58 & 59's have pointed ones like the one in the photo.

 

Good call on both counts - Ramber & Pontiac. That looks like '58 Michigan tags on the Rembler too.

 

No, there bricks. Cobble stones are stones

 

In MI. the snow plow drivers don't like em, the snow plow blades take a real beating, so the driver lifts the blade then people that live on that street complain because the street is not clean.

 

The plane is a Lockheed 12A and it is still on the FAA registry, owned by a guy in Florida.

 

1950's

One of the last great cavalry charges. Beersheba - 1917. John William Roberts was a neighbour when I was a kid. He was a bugler in the Light Horse and rode in that charge.

He also gave me a woollen blanket that he bought in Egypt, to help keep him warm, and carried throughout the Middle East during WW1.

I put the blanket in the boot/trunk of the first road registered car I owned and it has gone from car to car ever since. It is in the boot of my current car right now.

 

1956 Cadiz, OH,
World's biggest power shovel rolls to work in coal pits. Dwarfing cars, men and a passing train with its 16-story skeleton. "The Mountaineer," built by the Marion Power Shovel Co. for the Hanna Coal Company's strip mines.
