Vintage shots from days gone by!

Pretty good shooting if he took it with that M-1 carbine. But he looks like a Veteran anyway.

 

I shopped at the Hillsboro store. That logo by today's standards is so wrong!

Hello,
This truck is too nice to be flipped the wrong way.
Jnaki
It should be pointed in the right direction...signed..."The Photo Police..."

 

Good catch! She looks good from any direction

Good guess, it is, Legion Ascot 1933. Here's a shot prior:

Rootie, a memorial maker to Bob Carey was put in place last year in his hometown of Anderson, Indiana. It was part of a privately funded effort to remember Hoosier racers done in conjunction with the celebration of 200 years of Indiana statehood. In addition to the one for Carey markers were also installed for drivers Pat O'Connor, Wilbur Shaw, Jimmy Daywalt, Howdy Wilcox, Gene Hartley, and others.

Carey had a successful but pretty brief career; at least on the national level. It's nice that he has been remembered all of these years after his death.

 

Bob Carey, Bryan Saulpaugh and Wilbur Shaw.

 

Some pics of early Austro-Daimlers:

 

A Lohner-Porsche "Hybrid" has a petrol engine driving a dynamo and electric motors in the front-wheel drive hubs, winning the 1902 Exelberg hill-climb.

 

That's what I also thought first, but I checked and found out that in the XK series only the XK150 had disc brakes. The Jag in the picture is either XK120 or XK140, and both had drum brakes front and rear.

 

Don't know if the bag made the water taste bad or the water in the bag tasted bad, but when you are thirsty you just held your nose and drank...LOL

 

Or like we did at Irwindale Drag strip in the 60's.

 

Tigard for me!

 

NOT for drinking....for the radiator only.

I'm assuming those are ''wooden'' wheels on this car....it's hard to imagine taking these corners like this without losing the spokes in the process! What a thrill that must have been for spectator and car alike...thanks for sharing!

 

Almost as bad as drinking water from an old Jerry can that was once used for gas.

 

Well I still drank from one of those bags, once....

 

Glad this wasn't one of my actions. Mom was pissed her new Dodge got rolled.....Brother did it.

 

An interesting photo that I believe was taken at the old 16th Street Speedway which was across the street from Turn Two at IMS. Foxworthy was a local Ford dealer in Indianapolis. The MARC logo on the car's door was for the "Midwest Association for Race Cars" which was started by John Marcum. The letters "M-A-R-C" also happened to be the first four letters of his name. Marcum raced himself and early on worked for Bill France before striking out on his own. Years later MARC became the ARCA club that still races today. MARC ran both regular stock cars and convertibles in their early races.

 

When stock cars were STOCK cars. Looks like they drove it off the showroom floor and only stopped at the sign painters on the way to the track. Still has the wipers, sun visors, continental kit and probably the factory installed tires too.

Any idea who this is? The driver's face looks like Foyt but I don't remember ever seeing him in a car the looked like this one.

 

Hey Rootie, do you have any more info on this car? You posted another picture of it with a checkerboard paintjob back on page 3187 that I've had hanging on my bulletin board ever since as an inspiration for an upcoming project. I'm glad I know what the other side looks like now!

 

I'd like to see how they did this:

I blew up the pic and the sign says "Notice. Process patent pending."



Interesting flight of locks (Lockport).






















Why next years model always looks like this years model with a bit added on..


Ooh nice..

 

No idea who it is but it appears to be a SCCA formula B car, so I'm sure it's not Foyt.

 

Hi Toots!


Not many Duallies around..




Hmmm.. Interesting... Model of one of those parking systems..
