Vintage shots from days gone by!

Thanks - I am totally embarrassed that I forgot what a '52 Ford looks like.

 

My 16 year old and his GF have banished me to the computer The unwanted chaperone, can't blame them. Oh to be young again. Spent some of my computer time watching Wanda Jackson on YouTube. Yowza!!

 

^^^ Wanda Jackson, listen to her on SXM60, she dated Elvis

 

I completely forgot about the Civil Defense frequencies. I remember the 2 little symbols on the AM radio dial.

 

Bill Gaylord, private eye, at your service, i will go anywhere do anything to get my guy.

 

Man, can that lady sing! Let's Have A Party!

 

....mmmm a bush burger. I could go for one right now while polishing up my woody in the garage!

 

I watched that race from that very same vantage point. I was 11!

 

Miss lube rack is Nancy Pelosi! Second from left.

Hold the cheese

 

Nope, Charlie Glotzbach at the 1968 Southern 500. Pearson had a similar helmet but different colors. That year Pearson was in the HM 17 and Baker drove for Fox in the 3. I was there sitting in the Robert E. Lee stands near the flag stand. I haven't missed many Southern 500s.

 

Interesting. I got interested in the Ground Observer Corps when I was a junior in high school, joined, and worked in the Louisville control center. Learned a lot about plane plotting, tracking, and terminology. It eventually led to me joining the Air Force after graduation.

 

Glotzbach was and is a good friend. IIRC, he finished second in the Daytona 500 that year in Cotton's Dodge. The winner, Lee Roy Yarbrough I believe, was in the 98 for Junior Johnson.

 

Interesting '41 Chrysler convertible in the foreground. Do you think that '53 Chev on the trailer was a promotion for one of the casinos?

 

The 1941 is a Dodge Luxury Liner.

 

I think that it is a 1949 Plymouth not a Chrysler
nope 1941 Dodge

 

Not a 41 Chrysler, wrong taillights, brake light and trunk locking handle.

 

Iwo Jima, such a terrible place, this picture alone is enough to give me cold chills.

Doc.

 

As I said....1941 Dodge....
