So many desirable cars in this early 50's photo, great image.

 

Roy Rogers

 

Yes.....

 

real name, Leonard Sly

 

Ray Leger with Roy Rogers on the day Roy took delivery of his new Power Cat.
This shot was at the plant in Bellflower, Ca. Roy and Ray were strong competitors in SoCal
boat racing in the early 50's. Roy owned a major interest in the Yellow Jacket Boat Co.
and when the Power Cats began racing they soon become dominant, much to Yellow Jacket's displeasure.

Roy and Ray became friends thru boat racing and Roy agreed to do some promotional photo's
for Power Cat

1949 - NE Sandy Blvd. & NE 100th Ave. - Portland Oregon

 

1920 - SE 80th Ave. & SE Stark St. - Portland Oregon - I've walked or drove this intersection hundreds times from my childhood until just days ago.

 

Now, that's what I call muscle flexing....
