Vintage shots from days gone by!

Kind of a sobering thought to reflect on this particular day. Life is fleeting. Happy Easter

 

Strathcona Hotel bus circa 1915. Victoria B.C. Canada

 

Strathcona Hotel early 40's, 1946 and 50's

 

Strathcona Hotel Brochure. Summer rates double with bath $8.50 to $9.00. Little pricey isn't it? Victoria B.C. Canada Vancouver Island

 

All photo,s from the RobRoy hillclimb, Christmas Hills, Victoria Australia.

 

Note the front blower on 10.

 

More often than not it was the lightweights that were fastest. Big crowds too. In the 1950sRobRoy was way,way,way out in the boonies.

 

I tend to use the 64 and earlier guideline, but stretch it a bit to 66 or so if most of the cars are 64 or earlier, and no obvious late models as main focus. I also try not to repost pics that I have seen before with the odd exception if it's an absolute corker or a higher res version than seen before.

Have noticed a great number of reposts recently.

So on that note:
