Vintage shots from days gone by!

Great pix of "Americana"

 

Powered by woodsmoke or steam I wonder?

 

Yes, it is powered via a wood gasifier, most cars in traffic during WW2 in Sweden had them.

 

A few more just for fun

 

Here's one of my favorites from my collection!

 

And some more

 

how about some more?

 

In post # 29032, middle photo top row, those rear bumper guards on the car on the right look different, don't know that I've ever seen these before. Anybody know anything about them?

 

No chance of messin' up this rebuild, very clean environment.

 

Quote: bump




I think I have a theory worked out. "bump" just means, "Great posts!
Keep it up everybody!" It's because Chryco's dog chewed the keyboard,
and b,u,m and p are the only keys that still work.

So, "bump" is a GOOD thing!

 

Hey, I know Chryco can take a ribbing. But SERIOUSLY, 731132, RoadKill and JalopyJunkie,
you guys have posted some GREAT photos in the last 24 hours!

Now, what's missing in this picture?

And this gal must have just seen Claudette Colbert in "It Happened One Night"!



Never saw this great gas station shot before in COLOR!
Great. Is this, maybe, along U.S. Rt. 66???



Coffins, caskets and COKE! Mmmmm, mmmm! What a combo, eh?

 

Once in a while, we get one of those INSTANT CLASSIC shots! This one gets
my vote! Talk about a photo that practically talks. Yow! You can read so much
into it. Sure would love to know the facts about where, when, etc.!!! Can
anybody take at least a close WAG? I'd guess late-'30s. But WHERE, etc.
