Vintage shots from days gone by!

Where is the photo of the Goodyear airship taken? Any guesses as to the make of car? What is on the bonnet ( hood )?. No steering wheel? Guy seems extremely big for the car! Info anyone please? Thanks.

 

It really looks like something this GI is "liberating" to take home. Gary

 

The frame looks like someone on their hands and knees.

 

They forgot "Weed with Roots in Hell"....

 

Orson Welles and Anthony Perkins on the set of The Trial, 1962.

 

Fred Astaire Ginger Rogers 1930s

 

Anna May Wong 1920s actress

 

That's Colonel "Ned" Green, son of Hetty Green, the so-called Witch of Wall Street, at one time the wealthiest woman in the US. The car is an electric - give me some time, and I'll scrounge up and post a photo of him with his radio gear in the car. Not sure where the photo was taken. He was from Dartmouth, MA.

 

I'm posting this on different threads ....because it's so cool!...bought this image several years ago!.....

 

Russian equipment captured by the finns
during the war

 

Finnish antitank weapons...gues you
have to have hair on your chest to
knock out a tank when you must be able
to trow it by hand on the tank

 

This picture is so interesting! It looks like it could have been a scene in "The Godfather". Does anyone have any further information about it?

 

Bro, you are surely right about that! No wonder most of the Congressional Medals of Honor over here have gone to the infantry. To beat the enemy, you have to put your ass on the line. BTW, military historians know how the Finns stood up to the Russian army.

On the other hand, the Russians kicked Hitler's ass at Stalingrad (St. Petersburg) in '42, signaling the beginning of the end of the Third Reich.

To knock out a tank, you have to plant a satchel-charge under the turret, toss a gasoline cocktail in the rear, or fire a rocket or other ordnance (bazooka missile, if you HAVE a bazooka. Ha, ha) into the thinner area of ROLLED-STEEL behind the tracks. Maybe you blow off one of the tracks, making the tank a sitting duck. Frontal attack is out for the infantry, except for sappers who could suck the tank into a tank trap.

Any way you look at it, somebody on either side is gonna get killed. As warriors, I respect the infantry and the tank crews, both. War is hell.

 

You said it! Winter sucks. WORD UP!

 

Winter is our rebuilding time. Spend a few months in the garage during the cold months so the Hot Rod comes out in the Spring time all ready to go for another season of fun.

 

A shocking fashion? The mini-skirt makes its appearance on a Brisbane street corner in July 1967. (Description supplied with photograph). A young woman models a miniskirt, teamed with a stripey top, knitted cardigan and strappy, pointy-toed patent leather shoes, on a street in Brisbane in 1967. Her hair is worn long and loose, with a fringe.











Whats the guy thinking ??
Whats the old woman behind thinking??

 

Remember...Ginger had to dance backwards most of the time!!...Pretty Cool.

 

This chick looks just a little bit like Judith Durham.

 

You mean the woman who sang with THE SEEKERS?
I think you're right

 

That Edsel Hearse is beutiful. Never thought I would say that about an Edsel ..... notice the front tire is slicker than shit!

 

In the 30s & 40s they called 'em jalopies:
