That car is SICK!!!

I wonder if that's where the Blues Brothers got the idea for the speakers

 

Gosh, I sure wish these days weren't gone.

 

Since those are WWII Beechcraft AT-11 "Kansan" bombardier and gunnery trainers then I assume the people are Walter and Olive Beech.

Great old photos. Regarding that Pontiac dream car, the Club de Mer. I used to have a shirt with that sucker on it and people tried to buy it off my back. Someone just finished a good replica of the car and it is featured in the latest issue of PONTIAC ENTHUSIAST.

Has anyone seen the footage of a San Franciso street scene taken from a trolley car in 1906 and shot one week before the earthquake? It is totally awesome. There were no traffic rules at all and the thing goes on for about 10 minutes with wagons, bikes, trolleys and cars all criss-crossing and no accidents at all. The thing is a freakin' trip to watch. I think it is sold on a DVD and someone started sending it around. You would not believe how many large touring cars San Francisco had in 1906.

How to you post photos on here? I figured out how to do my albums, but not how to post photos.
