Vintage shots from days gone by!

Studebaker bus with carbon monoxide generator during WWII.

The route "Helsinki-Viborg-Moscow" is a joke, of course.
The bus is registered for Finnish Army (SA in the number plate).

 

You mean the guy who's image is blurred because he didn't hold still during a long exposure? Gary

 

He's not a ghost, he is "semi-invisible man".

 

Pretty cool label to stare at when you got a buzz on

Hey Mac Texas
Awesome pics man.

It wouldn't surprise me to learn there was no power steering in these cars.

 

Lookit the size of that tiller!!!

 

^^^^^^Look at the size of that boat!!!

 

ROOTIE, I can't believe it, thats my good friend Johnny Dudevoir in the Labounty roadster # 12 . This midget was made from a post war rail frame car. John is 91 years old and not in good health now. He joined the Navy when he was 16 years in 1943 and served on the aircraft carrier the Hornet that saw heavy action in the South Pacific . He truly is one of the great generation that we all owe a great deal of gratitude . I think that shot was taken at Trenton, N.J.

 

Remember the old add jingle "Ice, Cold, Oly" showing a frosty can. That commercial made me buy Oly beer.

I mostly drank the "Banquet Beer"...Coors.

 

I really wonder what colors the '55 210 is wearing. If it's gotta be a two-tone, I like the standard, where the roof drip rails separate the two colors.

 

Remember the motorcycle sounding ad.
RAAAAY NEEEER BEEEEEEER.
