Vintage shots from days gone by!

Ah-ho Mitaquiasin.
Yes a very sad chapter that is conveniently forgotten. the Aborigines here in Australia suffered much the same fate, once again conveniently forgotten.

Doc.

 

You are soo right. As for me, growing up in England and emigrating to the USA in '73, I had no idea of the sordid history here but then again I should shut up because they don't teach the history of slavery in England and that's because they mostly started it and ran it. Oh my..

 

This one must have slipped past swi66

 

yeah, i watched a film recently called "the proposition".....their treatment and regard during those years was highlited in the film. have you seen it?

on a side note....thanks for posting all the great vintage photos guys! keep 'em coming!

 

Willys. This is the civilian version. They were made for the US postal service, and they didn't like them. To save their ass Willys made this. The postal version was about 2 feet shorter behind the rear wheels, didn't have a door on the left side, was right hand drive, and the back door rolled up like a garage door. Oh and you stood up to drive it. It was an automatic. I have the postal version.

 

goddamn that's a hunk of steel there

 

Guess no one looked down and seen the lil girl either.

 

Saw the lil girl, but sorry Charlie, No Gee's yet, Maybe when she became 12 or so?????

 

The song "suicide doors" by Reverend Horton Heat comes to mind when i see this pic.

Can't find them all............though I try

 

most of the time doc i agree with what you write.but this doesnt seem to get to me the way it does to you.it was just the times, period.i can understand the reasoning behind it, but i might not agree with it.its just the way it was. look at american society now. we have fought with japan but we have allowed them to help destroy our economy. now we are all buddy buddy with them although their soldiers killed our men by the thousands.but its all in the past.

Now, if there's anybody out there who doesn't think this is comedic irony to the max, well, just get the hell out of here!

(Incidentally, the tried-and-true '03 Springfield, fitted with a scope, was one of the best U.S. sniper rifles in World War II.)

 

I wonder how the engineer managed to get thru without killing the fire or (so far) not blowing the boiler to pieces due to the sudden temperature change.
