Vintage shots from days gone by!

You can actually tour a Nike Missile launch site as part of one of our National Park sites near San Francisco. nike-missile-site.htm. A very interesting guided tour.

 

Trust me Frank, this place has a 5 star rated valet service. The car will be in good hands!

 

That's too bad, you missed out on a great time. Wish I still had my cat's eyes and steelies.

 

Mart, I think "Glarneys" probably falls into the same category as boots, bonnets, lifts, and the W.C.

 

Miss Polish Job !

 

Some really cool stuff there, not to mention the location. Notice the trailer hitches clamped to the bumpers.

 

They spelled lay wrong.

 

Earlier someone was bragging about how people knew how to park back in the day.

 

I love that Ford.
The gas prices are more in line with what I remember them to be too.
A dollars worth of gas (not Chevron) and a quart of reclaimed motor oil and you're good for a Saturday night cruise...You didn't even have to get out of your car, you got your oil checked AND you got your windshield cleaned.

 

That's Gypsy Rose being painted. I'm pretty sure it's on display at the Peterson right now.

 

Arteaga and Helmuth Willys, as rolled out (well, I assume). Steel ‘39 nose and no graphics or contingency stickers. Wayne Arteaga is standing in the cowboy hat; John Helmuth is kneeling in front of him. Can any gasser fans put names to the other faces?

 

Looks like Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood BLVd behind that white building!

 

It is.
