Vintage shots from days gone by!

3AW - Melbourne, Victoria. Looks like they're down at the Bay somewhere.
EJ Holden in the left foreground - my first car was an EJ, with a red motor, 3 on the floor, discs, really lowered, flared guards with big wheels stuffed under it, twin carbs, extractors and a dual exhaust. Wow, as an 18 year old, I thought I was hot.
I got picked up by the coppers all the time - record was 3 times in 2 days one weekend, and another time, it was twice in one mile. Never got booked once, just the heat wanting a look at the car.
That was back in the 70's. Simple times.

 

Let's see if that can be fixed up a bit:

 

Simon’s Drive-In. Wilshire Blvd. and Fairfax Ave. Los Angeles. 1939.

 

1935. Adler Diplomat

 

I wish some one "who was really there" would disclose who really did the work, the hard labor, when the Kopper Kart was put together. And where is it now? I love it, but who was "the behind men" that did the welding, designing, assembling, upholstery, paint, etc..? was Dick Dean involved..? who else?

 

looks like 2 door SEDAN ta me....

 

regardless of how it looks to you, the 2 1934 DeSoto Airflow models offered were a 4-door sedan and 2-door COUPE.

 

That is correct about it being referred to as a coupe by Desoto. Strange but true. There were only two body types for Desoto in 34, a 4dr and a coupe ! JW

Fugitive from a Bumper-Car ride

 

I think you're right except it is a 58, not a 57.

 

You're both wrong. It's a fake.

 

Thats why you need at least 200-250 lbs. tongue wt. for serious towing.

 

Yeah man, I got the special order from Sears that came in a white box, no graphics. It's a huge layout. Got a little Pennzoil formula car that is a MONSTER. Makes me want to break it out

 

How many went this route ?

 

Another great trip down memory lane for me.

I remember the day's when car dealerships had car parts in stock and simply did not order them and tell you they would be in within 3 day's.
