Alright...now I really do need a separate hard-drive for pic storage. Wow, almost 50 pages of the neatest old photos. Thanks to all.

Here's a picture (also my avatar) of my dad in 1956 "barnstorming" atop his 1932 Ford 2-door, and his buddy's 1932 Ford coupe. He was 17 at the time. The sedan is the car he drove while dating my mom. Check out his white "bucks". (shoes) Very stylish at the time.

Welcome. No disrespect intended but "Mom" was quite the little cutie back in the day! So, what happened to you?

Maybe she had seen her favorite female movie star lounging in such risky attire. And so just like glass shattering, a cultures demands for adherence to it's rigid dress codes is revealed to be not solid or substantial at all, but merely what everyone ASSUMED was required.

In Saudi Arabia of course, she'd get a hundred lashes and be stoned to death, because over there religion dictates what is law! While here, were free to choose whatever religion we WANT to ignore, for six day's a week.

The sign says special club breakfast, 20 cents. I go for that.

**cool57** · 01-23-2010, 10:07 PM

Faaaaaaaaantastic!! Now; who can identify some locations?

carcruse · 01-24-2010, 12:43 AM

Some of my relatives in front of my Great Grandfather's store in Wapakoneta, Ohio.

This thread got me thinking that the world would be a better place if we had neon signs, coke in glass bottles, and better color. I think all the good color got used up by the time the 70's came around. Oh yeah, and all the chicks looked like 40's movie star chicks.
