Vintage shots from days gone by!

Hey, darn good point. Early on, the Great Lakes region (and Detroit in particular) were by no means the HUB of the auto industry. Cars and trucks were turned out in the majority of the states, at one point or another. Off hand, Cleveland, Buffalo, St. Louis, Chicago and several Indiana cities vied for the top-producer spot.

 

I love this movie and the soundtrack. I have the CD someplace?? Now I'm going to have to find it. Can't remember if I have the DVD. Thanks for ruining my day, haha.

 

I was at school in the late 40's and 50's there were several kids from one parent families and orphanages because one or both parents had been killed either fighting or by bombing. Lots of kids were moved from the big citys to smaller safer ones like the one Ilive in

 

Little Joe, Adam, and Hoss???

Wasn't Brewster a coachworks rather than an actual auto manufacturer? I thought most of these were on Ford chasses?
