Vintage shots from days gone by!

Hello,
What a small world. Here is the same red altered Ford coupe at Riverside in 1958 prior to the added go fast goodies... well at least it looks like it much later in life...even an update on the trailer.
Thanks,
Jnaki

 

Starting another high school yearbook collection, but in the meantime here's a few eBay finds:


Hawaii, 1943 per the windshield sticker. Is this a Star?


Hawaii, 1944 - note the blackout shields on the headlights and the "A" ration sticker:

Happy Friday!

 

Wrong song era

More like.....

Well, I dig you later baby, I'll call you back
I just gotta wash my pink Cadillac
I'll wash it and shine it, just like new
When I'm all done honey, I'll call you

[Chorus]
I gotta wash, wash my pink Cadillac
I gotta be single baby, my train is on the track
I'm a gone hepcat with plenty of Jack
I'll dig you later baby, in my pink Cadillac

We'll pull the top down and let the breeze flow
We'll floorboard a-Connie and go-go some more
Tear around town in my pink Cadillac
Step aside baby, till I call you back

[Chorus]

Makin' up on the corner on a Saturdaynight
When the hi-brows and low-brows are diggin' their flights
They feast their eyes and stretch their necks
Don't get slack baby, I got a pink Cadillac

[Chorus]

There are 12 entries on Youtube of the song. I suspect they are all the same by the looks of it. I played 4 of them and all the same version.

 

57th & NE Sandy Blvd., Portland, OR

 

Yes, Chrisbcritter....that IS a Star car.

 

And a couple of them fall under the heading of "what has been seen, cannot be unseen".

 

Well, that is all a matter of opinion and you probably wouldn't agree with some of the styling I can't stand. As the former owner of a '59 Sedan DeVille and '59 Olds Super 88, I love the '59 GM cars and the '60's too. But what difference does that make? If you don't like something, just scroll down and move on. No need to post negative things just because they don't satisfy your personal tastes.

 

Man, that's a spread!

 

You are correct.

 

Dude: "If you don't like something, just scroll down and move on."

I mean for God's sakes - it's not like YOU personally styled those atrocities - erm I mean "styling exercises" - or did you?

OOPS - my bad...
