Vintage shots from days gone by!

Small location in '64. Now its a big dealership

 

I'm in Washington state and you're welcome.
I don't think it's a Jag but rather something American.

That is so damn cool! GM should have let the other divisions make their concept cars. If they did Chevrolet would be dead not Oldsmobile and Pontiac. Chevrolet was/is the spoiled baby brand of GM.

 

Hubcaps and bumper stolen before they could sell it.

 

Having seen the only existing F-88 concept car
Many years ago. I agree with you pontman, GM should have left the building of their concept cars to the other divisions .

I love it. The "young business man" driving around and checking out the desperate housewifes ...

 

I think I found one of my favorite vintage photos. Sadly I haven't experience LA in the 1960s (wasn't even born in the 60s at all), but these photos give me the idea that I'm right there cause it looks like these photos could have been taken yesterday. Amazing.

 

First pic is where i,m from. Beach town of Rosebud/Tootgarook, Victoria.
Crazy in the summer vacations, even then, shoot a cannon of in winter and hit nothing.
I remember that one of the busses plastered with for sale was bought by the local boat builder near our place and converted into a camper for his round Australia trip.

 

Back Beach was for the big surf.

 

Front beach was for fun and camping on the forshore in the tea trees between the beach and the main road, Nepean Highway.

 

Same area, much earlier.

Boy, just sneeze and I get behind 15 pages! A couple more new to the H.A.M.B., from Huntington Park High School:



A little contradiction there?

 

And two from Watertown, WI:


(Despite showing up with an Edsel, they beat Port Washington 19-0.)

 

My earliest memory of a car in our family was one of those Vanguard Standards. I was about 4 years old when my father bought that one. Ugly Pommie car!!

Rootie,
Bob Marshman on pole, Dick Rathmann outside. Ward and Jones in second row. 1962 Wisconsin Fairgrounds.

 

A couple from the 50s.

 

This really messed with my head, because Frankston, Rosebud and Rye are all towns here in Texas. I was like, " man that bus sure did drive all over the place"

 

Picture of my Dad and the write up is real funny!
