Re: Vintage shots from days gone by!
MrFire, your Post #11052 was a WEALTH of info! WOW.
A BIG thank you! If I sorted it all out right, the answer to whether the Tjaarda car shown in the magazine made if off the drawing board would be yes -- sort of. Sounds as though, as second-fiddle at Briggs design department, he'd certainly admired the Tatra streamlining and took the concept in his own direction. And that work, in turn, eventually caught the eye of Edsel Ford who channeled the work of Tjaarda and Roberts into the pro- duction Lincoln Zephyr, via Gregoire. Is that pretty much accurate?   Full-size clay-mockup?

When's the last time you got your carb boiled? I bet they would also rivet new linings on your brakes and contour grind them too!

Re: Vintage shots from days gone by!
There's no disputing Ansel Adams' talent but those pictures were probably a little boring for readers at the time. I don't think overcast skys had anything to do with it.
We can appreciate them more now by looking back at what was L.A. As evidenced by new workers living in trailer parks, little to no parking, crowded local eateries, a welfare dept. in the post office all signs of what might have been the beginning of it's huge growth spurt. Fortune magazine obviously saw it and wanted it captured on film. I'm not sure he did it. |

Skidrow housing?They almost look like somebody was living in at least the 30's Plymouth,the cardboard stuffed in the window might indicate that.

Re: Vintage shots from days gone by!
In the sixth photo down that trailer in the foreground looks really neat. Those wire wheels might suggest English built, maybe?

Re: Vintage shots from days gone by!
Ansel Adams was the master of black and white photography. He could bring out the most minor details.
In the photo of the ladies (1959 Miss Saugus Stadium beauty contestants) my eye was drawn to the one on the far right too. I would love to see what they look like now. |

Re: Vintage shots from days gone by!
I would love to have that Hudson convertable. Sorry, I know this was posted a couple of weeks ago, but I just got that far today!
