That's an interesting something or other Victoria sitting on the right hand side of the photo second car up beside the light pole.

Cool camera car Too that looked brand new at the time.

 

Great photos. Thanks T - head

 

Thank you. It's been a hell of week up here in Boston. But like Adam Sandler said.. We are the only town that will shut down and find you !

 

Thanks for posting these! Two of my fave things - old cars and running. What a sad week. Give 'em hell, Bostonians!

 

Thanks again for posting TEE

 

Thanks for the great photos...a much simpler time for sure. I can't believe they can't find the punk. Hopefully he crawled into a hole and died from wounds.

 

I hope they find him alive! But chances are he'll be killed on sight.

 

I pray for all the victims,,the police have the suspect pined down in a boat in someones back yard,,time will tell. HRP

 

Got him !

 

Great photos David! Love the Stude rag top!

 

It's good to hear this morning that this terrible tragedy is over in the Boston area, thanks to all of the law enforcement officers that took part.
