    Thanks for sharing these photos.

    I posted a few old Bonneville photos in my history thread at http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=801156 They were all borrowed from historical archives. I hope I'm not breaking any etiquette? I assumed they were all public domain and the library watermarks are in tact.

    @Jimmy B I was looking through some Threads to connect dots and saw this post by a Hamber and thought it may have a connection to this Ole Warrior...

    I think he shared it in a thread you were hosting or sharing in but nothing was mentioned...

    ...I'll share the Link when I find it again...heck now I found a Thread on it alone...jeeze you were already on it back then...:)
