Vintage shots from days gone by!

Aunt B decided right then and there to show ol Gomer what he's been missing.

 

My mother had a '53 LincolnCapri 2dr hardtop in this same colors. Difference was the '53 got the OHV V8 with 4bbl 4spd HydraMatic. I took my drivers license test in it as well as my first driving date. We had that car for 10 years and it was great. My dad bought a '53 sedan at the same time and it was a lemon. Brakes failed on the first family outing in it and it was always something for the next 2 years until he got rid of it.

 

The convertible on the right, is that a Henry J?

 

Looks like it and the owner is bragging that he is gonna put a 392 Chrysler motor in it

 

Aunt Bee had really good taste in automobiles, the rest of Mayberry drove Fords

 

It's a 1923 Model 66 Peerless 7-Passenger Touring Phaeton. Cost 3 Grand! 322 Cu. In. V-8, dual exhaust, 70 HP. Beam me there in '23, Scotty!

 

It's an Iowa sherriff that never carried a gun...just that stick.....they had his name,but i cant even find it again now.....i saw him on facebook on an iowa history page...the cars were neat so i posted......enjoy!!

 

Might be an optical illusion, but the trophy girl is a Vulcan.

 

Except that is not her....And Francis was a Studie gal.

 

Rootie, a great picture of Len Duncan in the Harry Hespell #1 at Williams Grove.

 

That upholstery looks very high end. Even the kick panels are patterned.

 

1924 -1926 PAIGE BROUGHAM. You could buy one back then for around $ 2500 .
