Vintage shots from days gone by!

Do you have a photo of that? Because the photo you show is of a 1949-50 Chevrolet Coupe.

Also, the Chev in that photo is a cop car, how cool is that!

 

picture of the location of my body shop in 1939. wish the 34? five window was still there. its about where the spray booth is now.

 

Here are are a few crashes/police photos I have...

This was an F84.


This was a milk truck




Looks like an uncomfortable place to be in this accident.


This might have been a plymouth or a dodge


Just like your buddies. One to work, two to tell you how you should have done it.

 

Might this be the origin of the "Buick" beer sign from post #22528?

 

That is a awsome shot of the casino building at Catalina My Great Grand father was involed in the construction.

 

Old race car.

 

Good Grief, those tires are big!!

 

I have noticed in the pics where there is snow alot of people kept their cars clean unlike today where they stay dirty all year long.

 

Really nice pics!

 

I always keep all of mine clean, I don't care what it is.

 

When I worked at the shop that had a floor drain in the basement my cars stayed clean even if it was below zero,now I am a little lazy in the winter since I dont have a place inside to wash them. It amazed me with all the clean cars in the winter pictures as most dont do that these days.

 

Where I live there are car washes all over, and when I go across Canada and the US I hardly see them, and when I do they cost a lot more and are not as good normally... I bet that is a contributing factor too.

 

Lake Oswego OR 1973???[/QUOTE]

 

"Don't piss me off,Mister!"

A take-no-shit bartender;you know there's a heater close by under the bar. I grew up in that environment,as my Dad owned a couple of successful establishments. A lot of life lessons learned by just watching and listening. Always amazed me how the old man could deal with every type of person imaginable,especially when alky clouded their "vision".

 

Something of note, in that bar photo in the photo before this post, the fridge is a General Motors Frigidaire!
