Vintage shots from days gone by!

Yeah!

Guess Who?

 

I'm pretty sure this is Wilma Rudolph.

 

Boy that's ticking a lot of boxes for me...

 

There is a strong visual resemblance, but I suspect it is not her.

 

I see dogs still have the same tricks as back then.

 

To muddy up the waters just a bit more... How about the Brewster? Built on an 'A' chassis, but defiantly up market.

 

Here in Boston we love that dirty water.

First time I seen poverty caps for a Caddy.

 

The Brewster was built on a V8 chassis starting in 1934. While most of them were town cars, a few were produced in other body styles. There is a convertible sedan on display in the Hershey flea market nearly every year. I believe there were only about 40 of these made.

1959 SOME LIKE IT HOT
NOW
Hotel Del Coronado, San Diego’s legendary oceanfront beach resort, has been captivating imaginations for over 128 years.
Hello,

The Hotel Del Coronado has a lot of history since the beginning. It sits on one of the safest beaches (always check with the lifeguards, especially during the hurricane season…summer) in So Cal with a view of the Point Loma Headlands and entrance to the huge San Diego harbor. On the other side of the peninsula, lies the big bay near the Coronado Bridge. Great views and a terrific drive down the Silver Strand.

There are all sorts of choices for staying at the “Hotel Del” from rooms to beach cottages. But, for hot rodders, once a year, just a few blocks up the street from the hotel, is a great car show. The quiet street in Coronado turns into a serene place to view San Diego area hot rods and customs. Ocean breezes, small town on the bay, great places to stay, super restaurants, and an overall great drive anywhere on the San Diego Bay.
