Always loved this look: 55-56 Merc SW taillights Frenched onto a 55-56 Ford.

 

How about some photos from Heidelberg in 1962.

Connecticut had city or MVD branch codes on the license plates.
This 50 Olds was registered in Bloomfield, just north of Hartford.
Amazing amount of trash in the old mental closet.

 

Thanks to everyone here for all the photo's....really is amazing! I remember much of this 'lifestyle' and the great memories 'back then'...thanks to "H.A.M.B" and contributers ....and the fantastic 'past' moments of what it's all about !!!

This one might've been posted before.

The "City of Yuma" endurance flight in Yuma, Arizona 1949. They set the record on October 10th, 1949 with 1,124 hours, nearly 47 days in the air. Here they are refueling where they would transfer gas cans from the refuel car along with other supplies in a 1948 Buick. The record put Yuma on the map for an ideal place for aviation and helped reopen the military base after WWII - which is still open to this day(MCAS Yuma).


Pilots, Bob Woodhouse and Woody Jongeward. You can tell they've lost a few pounds after being confined to the cockpit during the flight!
