Vintage shots from days gone by!

"You fart again, & I'll put a full nelson on ya'"

 

I had a double take on this photo. I thought there was a dancer on the hood on this junker.

 

That’s one Willys that never made it into the Gas class.

 

The car is an (English) Austin 12/4 from the mid 1920s. Location possibly Canberra, Australia.

 

Mitchell - circa 1919.

 

Morris Oxford (often referred to as an Oxcart) - circa 1948-52.

 

Note the circa 1902-03 Autocar parked on the left.

 

Damn... this shouldn't happen even before OSHA. . . . . . . . .

 

Curious about this one.

 

Remember economy runs?

 

I remember this photo from an early Hot Rod, or maybe it was Rod & Custom, I believe the name of the business was Shell’s located in LA.
Shell, whose first name might have been Louie, followed the buy low, sell high concept dealing in trades sometime too. I tried to Google it for more info but came up empty.

 

Forget Google, after a trip to the basement archives I found it, Oct. 1952 Hot Rod magazine. Now that would have been a cool place to visit!

"Arm broken, WATCH for FINGER!"


I know this is not American and probably posted before but I could not resist.

 

Fuuugggleeee!

 

Oldsmobile plant 1904-06

 

Nope....it's about a 1916 REO. The outward curve at the top or the radiator shell is a giveaway.
