    Wow, I never knew that Ivo sold off the liner to another team, I thought it was scraped like the Scrima-Liner. I would to see some photos from the flat track races that were being promoted on the same poster.

    Do you recall the adress in Rampart from where the photo was taken. Alvarado and 7th street area?

    Yes track bikes or fixed wheel as opposed to freewheel, I dragged one home from the dump as a kid and rode it to school in spite of it's poor cornering and occasionally throwing me when the pedal hit the ground or a kerb because it was a 'racing bike'.
    Fixie seems to be used to describe single speed or 'fixed gear' by those too young to know they're murdrering another perfectly good distinction.

    I love photos of old-time service stations. Here are two great ones, thanks to SWI and Mazooma! :D

    [​IMG]

    This one, from the mid-1930s, though shot in the Westwood area of Santa Monica, West Los Angeles, looks like a station that could have been anyplace in the country.

    It's a "posed" photo, but it clearly shows the era when service stations actually offered full service! :cool: Oil and lube jobs, brakes, clutches, tune-ups, hand car washing and waxing, tires sold, mounted and balanced, and an attendant -- not you -- checked your fluids and washed your windshield for free :eek: while filling your gas tank. Now THAT was a service station back in the day.:D


    [​IMG]

    This Gulf station was in Hamburg, New York, but the building design, enameled steel facing and the lot layout look almost identical to White's SOHIO, operated by Bob Beck at the Old U.S. 33 "West Gate" of Logan, Ohio, in the '60s and '70s. That was at Rt. 33 (West Hunter Street) and Ohio Rt. 664-South. With SOHIO signage, plus some background trees at right, this could BE White's SOHIO! :p My pipe dream, but this does bring back memories!

    I have no idea where this photo was taken. Somewhere in the Los Angeles area.

    The Long Beach Packard Dealership's Showroom is laid out like that with the staircase and the drive throughs into the service area.
    It's the building used for the "Monster Garage"
    I haven't been in it recently enough to remember the architectural details so it might just be a Packard Dealership with a similar floorplan but if it is the Long Beach one, it is still on the corner of Anahiem and Locust in Long Beach CA.

    In Google Street View...
    East Anaheim and Locust form two "T" interscections, offset. On the corners are one story buildings and one building that is maybe 1.5 stories (think main floor and attic.

    For the stretch on Anaheim reaching across both intersections there is a huge, recently excavated hole nearly a block long. This building may be a casualty.

    I think we (USA) stole one of those before they could scrap it - It disappeared to Edwards AFB in Cali.
