Vintage shots from days gone by!

I originally posted this photo on here a couple years ago. Thats my Mom in the middle. My Grandpa is the taller gentleman in the background by his '37 Ford. Photo was taken in the mid 40's at their farm in Tennessee. I can remember riding in his '37 Ford as a kid in the 50's. Grandpa traded the Ford for a '49 Chevy in 1959.

 

''Drivers start your engines" Mari Hulman about 60 yrs. ago.

 

"Due to hearing difficulties, Mary did not understand the ad phrase, "Put A Tiger In Your Tank."

 

Lou Bingham's lakes roadter. Lou once lived in La Canada, CA, and his 5-window was the subject of a famous article in R&C about a long tow to Bonneville, using a V8-60 powered T roadster to pull the 32. Later Lou moved to the San Diego area and ran the Bird Rock Mobil station. He parked the roadster out in front, and I remember it well, the Bird Rock Mobil station was near where my uncle lived. It was painted sort of a violet color.

I'm really enjoying all the pictures of the St. Louis area.

 

Gary-I believe this is the Jim Root built 32 which the Tarkani Bros bought in the 50's.It still exists today.
