  4. This brings back memories of when I was a kid here in the Arkansas hills. Looks very much like the store at Oil Trough, Arkansas

    Well, I think the styling exercises are not intended to be beautiful or even an integrated car. They are combinations of styling ideas of more than one designer mainly to get an idea of how a certain variation looks in real size. These things might be questions such as "how would it look if we used a LeSabre like grille? " on a full sized passenger car. Or what if we did the Olds taillights like this? Or how about arranging the headlights like this? These ideas are all useful even if they are discarded and it is decided that an idea looks bad or weird. I personally think these are fascinating and it is interesting to sot things that were actually used on production cars.

    That's 2 year old Pete Seeger with mom holding the violin.
     
  8. Yup!

    And seeing as how he preferred the banjo, we now know what he meant to do with it when he sang "if I had a hammer..."

    As always, good stuff.
    That '46 Ford dealership showroom shot could be in the running for "coolest photo on the HAMB" thread.
    The chromed tube frame furniture is waaay cool, that and the posters above it would make great "man cave" materials. Gawd I hate (most) man caves though.
    Keep up the good work.

    More Atlanta history!

    [​IMG]
    Georgia Governor Lester Maddox, at the grand opening of Interstate 285 (currently home to some of the worst traffic on Planet Earth), 1969. I-285 didn't connect all the way around Atlanta until the late 1970s. It's still not done.

    [​IMG]
    Marietta Street at Northside Drive, 1956.

    [​IMG]
    Marietta at Northside (looking the other way), 1956.

    [​IMG]
    Billboard for Radio Station WGST (920 on your dial; home of Jack Brisco, and, later, Tony Taylor and Skinny Bobby Harper), North Avenue at Spring Street, 1948.

    [​IMG]
    The WGST studios on the Georgia Tech campus ("GST" originally stood for "Georgia School of Technology"), 1956.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    Three views of the intersection of McDonough Boulevard and Eric Street, 1947.
