VINTAGE SHOTS FROM DAYS GONE BY! (Part 2)

Somebody's crystal ball clouded up in a hurry!

 

It will be an easier entry if you just spread your legs a little more.

 

LA River 1947

 

Olive street, LA 1922. Telephone building under construction.

Looks to be Ray Harroun, winner of the first Indy 500. He was the first to use a rear view mirror. Most of the racers back then had a ride-along "mechanic" who, other than maybe keeping an eye on the gauges, their main job was as a spotter to let the driver know where other cars were around him.

 

We drove it in 2019, absolutely beautiful. Also visited the Trees of Mystery. Great trip.

 

yes, pic is from 1961 to celebrate the anniversary of his 1911 win. He was 82 at the time.

SE Grand Ave. & Morrison St.

 

c.1929 - NE Couch St. & Union Ave.

 

c.1950 - SW Washington St. & SW 6th Ave.

 

1963 - N Lombard St. & N Portsmouth Ave.

Is this what they were talking about when they say even the early vettes cost big bucks?
