Vintage shots from days gone by!

I just love it how you are able to slip in so many pics of the humble Corvair

I had a '64 Spyder coupe and a '65 Monza4dr H/T, both interesting and immensely frustrating cars, long may they rust

Thanks for sharing.

 

Dusty-nz! Frustrating How? Search to the "Corvair Center" forum and tell your Corvair story.

 

My mother went to high school with her at LaJolla High school.

A pint sized 1958 Goggomobil Royal.... stop by theoldmotor.com and learn all about these German microcars.

 

MA AND PA KETTLE, PERCY KILBRIDE AND MARJORIE MANE (SP?) WATCHED EVERY ONE OF THEM WHEN I WAS A KID!

Isn't that George Romney on the right side, when he was president of American Motors & before he was Michigan Governor?

 

Ah, it's BRUCE!

 

"Bob, i's jus' a rabbit!"

 

I believe the guy in the middle with the cigar is George W. Mason, the president of AMC who brought Romney into the corporation. That means this photo is no later than 1954, which is when Mason passed away unexpectedly.

 

Cool, I'm about 15 miles from Orion, IL and my cousin was a lineman for Sherrard Power. We were lucky and had Illinois Power, service on the Sherrard system was "less than reliable" and that's being kind! The house in the background even looks kind of familiar but then again a lot of houses around here looked like that when I was a kid.

 

Makes sense, and I'm quite certain it is him. I did a little e-research; he became chairman/president of AMC in '54 (was with Nash-Kelvinator since '48) until 1962 when elected Michigan Governor. I still remember seeing him when he was MI governor. He came into the small town near where we lived, in a chauffer-driven Rambler Ambassador! Must've been '64ish or so.
