Vintage shots from days gone by!

This reminds me of a friend of my dad's who loved to put 455 Olds engines in every thing. He had a early/mid-60's Chevy 4x4 that he put 2 cabs on, 2 455 Olds (one for driving and the other to run the PTO for the 10' snowthrower). When you looked under it all you could see was drive shafts and gearboxes everywhere. I wish I had taken pictures back then.

 

Hey I think I let that guy work on my car once.

 

She shakes his hand I bet Charlie had a great time that night!

 

Call me a filthy animal will they? Let’s see how they like a monkey wrench in the works!

IF ONLY they looked like the advertisements. can't help but like it.

 

Hmmm, this looks very familiar. Where did I park my patrol bike.....

 

Neighborhood mob hijacks Good Humor Truck !!!! Film at 11......

 

Long rear deck on that 59 might indicate a Skyliner retractable!

 

Agreed
Also look at the trunk opening

 

They look great from that angle , but I always thought they looked a little goofy at a dead on profile shot. The back end was just too big. I think they had 32 little motors/solenoids to runs those tops and were quite prone to failure at the wrong times

 

San Antonio....Dec. 1962

 

San Antonio... Oct. 1965

 

Heard a story once that the designer ended up in the nut house.... Not sure if it's true er not.....

 

It looks just like a '59 Fliptop to me.

 

I had breakfast recently with a club who were on a cruise with several 57,8,&9 cars and they loved them. All the tops worked fine.
