Vintage shots from days gone by!

take away the distraction of the hair and she's a nice looking lady...
but, that was the style was then, so that what the ladies wore

 

these kitchen, house, appliance photos are a BIG tease. One day when i get my old farmhouse and a peice of land; I'm ripping out the kitch (unless its old) and I am going to furnish it with everything vintage. My house will be a damn 1940s-1950's musuem.

 

here you go..............

 

From the “1957 Secret Squadron Official Manual and Code Book” — a promotional item from Ovaltine, sponsors of the Captain Midnight TV series. The Captain’s airplane was called the “Silver Dart.”

worth re-posting...

 

An Austin a day keeps the boring cars away .

'Anorak note' - Another Austin with a few mods away from standard, the strap between the front wings was and is a popular modification. Sidelights are fantastic' extras looking like they've been nicked from a Swallow. The picture saves as a 1928 Saloon but the '28 cars had scuttle vents so this one might just be a bit earlier.

 

It`s the Finnish license plate... And the guy on the roof is most probably Kalevi "Häkä" Häkkinen

 

well, the plate look very similar to Estonian plates, thanks for the info thou

 

I think Jack had a Knox or two earlier. But this car looks to be a formal and not Knox. Anybody help with the make? Also, anybody have a pic of jack with his FINAL car, the Zephyr he got killed in in '46?



Dig the Bi-Flex bumper???

 

Jimi, looks like a Lincoln with an "owl" light mounted in front of the radiator (makes ID a bit more challenging).

 

wow! look at the body on the chassis in the middle of the picture!

Twin, maybe THIS is the car that made a Lincoln lover out of Jack Johnson, eventually leading him to buy a Zephyr. What year is this Lincoln? And when did Lincoln start offering the V-12? Jack J LOVED to put his right foot down!!!
