Vintage shots from days gone by!

What are the rollers used for on the front of these trucks?

 

Yep! Been there, done that... Also cracked my head open once....
But I turned out ok.... .....

 

That is an anti-ditching roller...prevents the frame from digging in when going through deep ditches etc.

the second thing.... scratch that . The third thing I noticed was the steering wheel.

 

She's a little darlin' ain't she???
Damn!...

 

I am fairly sure she is a French actress but can't recall her name. I think the car is an early 1950s Simca Sport. I found a shot of a dash here - http://webmaster.simca.free.fr/modeles.php?id=&ref_mod=19

 

A young Mariette Hartley?
Hey Gary,

Wow, an oldie from way back in So Cal culture…one of the hot spots in Laguna Beach, CA. It was a popular corner to hang around as the “Sound Spectrum, a rock music store/head shop,” was the calling card for all those young teenagers involved in the changing of our 60s social culture. The famous Pottery Shack compound was just steps north of the Sound Spectrum, too.

The building behind the girls is located in Laguna Beach at 1316 Pacific Coast Highway & Cress St. It used to be named "Hotel California".

When I first moved here 47 years ago I wondered if it was connected with the Eagles, "Hotel California", but that was a state of mind, not a location. So, there is no connection. Hotel California is no longer on the front of the building as it has been bought, sold & repainted many times over. It has gone through many changes, been renamed many times over since the early 1960s, but has been a recovery center for the past several years.

Just across the busy Coast Highway, the girls are walking toward the best view (of the second reef) of the famous, Brooks Street surf break.
If the girls were walking across the busy intersection today, they might be walking to the other beach side hotel called, La Casa del Camino Hotel.

Recently, that hotel created a roof top dining area that has some of the best views up and down the coastline. Plus, stadium seating for the big waves of the summer/fall hurricane season.

 

I never mentioned her name because how can you forget BB. There's MM for Marilyn Monroe and BB for Brigitte Bardot.

 

Who ever married her got the score of his life.....

 

I dated her but she was very needy.

 

Here's one from the altered thread.....

 

That’ll be Brigit Bardot. Mon ami.
