Vintage shots from days gone by!

Something odd in this "photo" - Seems like the Stude would be cut & pasted into the picture...
What was the source / original purpose of the picture?
What I like in this is the 1947 Hudson coupe on right.

 

Oh man, when you want to live forever. Running as hard as she will
go, straight as a die, you're just along for the ride. Pure bliss.
It doesn't happen often for most of us.

 

I agree - looks like a fairly good photoshop but it does look fake. Observe the far lot. It says free parking yet .10??
The shadows look ok yet the bottom of the tires are square. LOL

 

It looks hinkey for sure. The attendant might be dubbed in also, right ? It's neat but also maddening that photos can be altered very successfully, sometimes. You can't trust what you see in pictures, sometimes.

 

Compared to who? Not certainly the tin can ford, chintzy chevy or the buckboard chryslers….

 

I found the picture of the late '40's Studebaker entering the parking lot when going through Google Images. I did think it looked a little strange but was thnking that possibly it was used in some kind of a presentation dealing with parking costs (thus the arrows to the .05 and .10 prices.). I have tried all evening to find the picture again to possibly find a source, but have been unable to.

 

If you take that slogan at face value it says that Buick already builds the best cars. So what about big sister Cadillac ? Or Lincoln. Chrysler, and so forth. The missing part of the story is "price range" ( now called price point ). But there is no doubt about it, The Buicks have been the smartest choice for an affordable and quality G.M. car all down through the years. That's my story and I'm sticken' to it!

 

Couple of shots for today.

 

- this

has to be Australian by the brands but it seems to be catering to a pretty cosmopolitan market ... ( edit - OK, got it - Surfers Paradise 1971 - that figures ) crab, salmon, dogwoods(?) and no beetroot ...

 

Sure looks Aussie to me. An AP5 Valiant on the left, and maybe a Zephyr and Holden in the backround

Daytona Beach 1967
It is a Dagwood sandwich, named after Mr. Bumstead.

The snack bar is from Australia.

 

Note the shadows on stude and man , long yet the Hudson looks like noon .

Chrysler/DeSoto Airflow...

 

I really like the coupes... wonder why so few survived?

 

Privy made of old automobile bodies

 

Those (seemingly fragile, nowadays) early cars sure were used and abused.

 

This is acting weird. Anyhow, a bunch of pics didn't materialize

 

Word!

 

Word ? please explain.
