Vintage shots from days gone by!

Springsteen lost me with the 396 "fuelie heads"

 

What in the world is in the Hangar???

 

I believe that is a Northrup XP-56. An X fighter prototype, pusher aircraft.

My grandparents not long after they were married-Aug. 1930

 

doesn't look like a pusher to me.

 

i believe Spooler41 is correct

 

As chance would happen this rolled in this morning...

I haven't watched it yet.

 

A better view...

 

Yup, you guys are right! Only two built. Thanks, Jim

 

Bruce was no car guy . I know cause used to do his posters here in Richmond Virginia when he an Robin Thompson had Steel Mill. He might have known his music , cars , no...........................................

 

yup, I was wrong. Never saw that before.

 

Just want to say a big "THANK YOU" to Dog 427 435 for starting this thread

 

Years ago, I recall some poor fella who owned one of these classy caddy flower cars, but was getting flack from his neighborhood association's ban on parking trucks in the neighborhood. Just one reason I'd never live in an association- not if you're a car guy! So he wrote into a magazine- I think it was Car & Driver- and they proved for him that no, Cadillac did not make trucks (this was before the Escalade era), and the flower car is not a truck, and he should be allowed to have it. Don't know if the argument worked though.

 

I wonder if the engineer got a ticket? Sign says "No Parking"

 

L.A. Union Station. IIRC this sort of overrun has happened more than once over the years.

 

If the "association" didn't like trucks I wonder what they thought about a flower car or hearse? Yep, associations are really rough on car guys and gals., but then many cites and towns have rules about old cars that are just about as bad. That's on of the reasons we moved out into the country.

 

Drove one of these daily during my first marraige in the 90's She got it in the divorce, it's in Germany now.......

 

Looks like the real Wonder Years kids.

 

Not to get into a lengthy debate, but the registration and DMV should trump the nannies in the HOA. If it is registered as a car, then it's a car.

 

I'm surprised the traction motor/truck assembly didn't fall off!
