Vintage shots from days gone by!

KAMP KELLUM AUTO CAMP and it's Service Station at: S.E. 82nd Ave. & Powell Blvd. 1931.

 

Before & after...
Stuart Hilborn of injector fame ran this beautiful car at the lakes. The dirt can be a dangerous place...

 

Route 66 (Foothill Bl.) at Haven Av.? in Cucamonga. The Winery buildings were there all through the '80's. Not sure when progress came along...

 

Art & Walt Arfons.
Both managed to set the absolute Land Speed Record.
Right after Walts car (The Wingfoot Express) driven by Tom Green set the record @ 413 mph Art stepped up 3 days later & upped it to 434 mph. These are not the LSR cars...

 

"Any idea where that box of donuts went?"

The folks living in Chavez Ravine before the Dodgers came sure got screwed when they did in '58.

 

Wow...I've never seen anything like this before...moving all the buildings in a row, all at once.....I can only imagine all the liabilities and insurances now, ...to try something like that! Amazing pic!

 

"Well, if I leave it here 40 or so years, maybe I can get it into Sitting and Rotting."




"I'm tired of waiting for Sam the butcher. I'll just take it home and do it myself."

 

Earl's idea of a drive through bar didn't quite turn out how he expected.

 

Mobile cremation services available....

 

Probably less humorous if that were your family in those graves....

 

"The garage entrance is over there..."

 

Lloyd Center Rink (look, no roof)
