Vintage shots from days gone by!

Maybe the driver took the photo?

 

Nah, probably a selfie.

 

Surprised they didn't rig a way for him to drive it from up top.

I would think he has the right of way, doesn't matter what colour the lights are........

 

Taken at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed, includes the recommissioned "Babs" dug out of Pendine Sands

 

Too bad showin' off for Jay Leno and he wrecked the Hemi under glass

 

1926 Grand Prix ..the ''tank''.....I think it was a Bugatti chassis if I remember correctly(?)

 

It's interesting....not particularly pretty, but curious with the headlights in the front ''hood'' panel & ''fish gills"

 

It was only years later that I realized that that wheelstanding 'cuda had a window in the floor...

Nope....not a lineman.....but I worked many years in high-lead logging....and found a harness & cleats saved my life more than once "in the wind" as necessary safety issues, with a tree rocking and swaying. Just seems odd that even back then in the 1920's / 30's, that it would be more or less common-sense to strap onto something more substantial instead of standing on a ladder step on top of a flat roof of a model T. I've worked substantial heights , and it was always unnerving knowing the ground was "down there" below....and with just a knee bracket to lean into for stability as this pic suggests. ....perhaps my work background automatically questions these things ....just curious to the lack of anything safe as precaution, and merely standing on a ladder on top of a car-----------my humble opinion of course

 

YeeHa! No parade for University of Oregon in downtown Eugene today...

Well done Oregon State University.

 

I bet there wasn't a dent or scratch on that truck bumper....while the car is totally demolished!

 

This is certainly an eclectic group of automobiles. Traditional hot rods and a two stroke Saab. I love it. Now what class would the Saab have run in?

Anyone know if this was a future famous custom, or an x-famous custom? Looks interesting. Gary

 

I'm curious myself. I don't remember any 40 Chevy coupes being done as a full custom. Nothing famous that I'm aware of. It's cool. Be a shame if it didn't get finished.

 

Florence Henderson just died Thanksgiving 2016 , just noticed
