  1. Maybe I'm morbid but I like to see pictures of old cars wrecked. Anyone got pictures?

  4. One thing I always thought was cool about the wrecks was cars you don't normally see and the people and and cars in the background. A time gone by.

    You're right but they're both the same picture, just flipped.

    It's hard to tell who the hell hit who in the first one.

    It looks like a head because it is a head - it's Dean's passenger Rolf Wütherich lying on his stomach looking at the stretcher they're about to lift him onto.
     
  20. Yep, it's his mechanic and friend who was thrown from the vehicle.

    I have some old wreck photos.

    I had a bunch more,that I can`t find at the moment. Some of them were pretty grusome with the victims not even covered up.
    Always a crowd of gawkers no matter how bad it is smiling away.....
    I have a few more that I did find,I`ll post them.

    People have been crashing cars since the first ones hit the roads in the late 1800s

    These are from the 20s.

  22. Does Bonnie & Clyde count? Not really an accident - but they didn't see it coming.

    My wife's folks rolled this.one. Her aunt was pregnant and thrown out the rear window but everybody was OK. It is a different aunt and uncle with a friend in the photo. The other side and rear had most of the damage but I always liked this photo showing the convertible with it.

    James was only doing 50-55mph. He had the sun to his back and the silver car was hard to see. A big Buick didn't see James and turned into his lane hitting head on. You can see in the picture James tried to avoid the car.

    "Hard to know what the other guy is going to do."

    Yeah I almost got the same thing James Dean did yesterday when an old lady waited until I got Juuuust close enough before she pulled out across in front me going slow as a turtle-fun times....

    I have the same book sitting on my desk right now. One of my friends bought it for me thinking it was just old car, she didn't know it was dead people too. A little creepy but fascinating at the same time.

    Favorite pic is a train track and a foot. So much meaning in one photo frame.

    I always thought that was his head and it creeped me out too. I wish we could get a definitive answer. How eerie!
