Vintage shots from days gone by!

I hope there is no surcharge for pre-removal of the engine?!

Doc.

 

I'm inclined to think this came off the back of a pickup and not out of that shoebox. No sign of a radiator, fluids , exhaust, never
mind it losing the transmission.

 

I thought I could see Maggie Thatcher and Queen Elizabeth checking out this car. I had to look twice to check.

Mart.

 

Wow, I didn't notice the resemblance until you mentioned it. They sure do look like the young version of both ladies.

Nope, it came out of that car. My dad took that photo.

 

would love to see this coming at me on the road!

 

I thought I read/heard somewhere that this changeover went fairly smooth, with only a couple of minor incidents. I was in elementary school at the time, so I don't really remember it.

How 'bout that evil lookin rollbar....

 

Ha Ha! (I don't LOL) The idea of Thatcher and QE2 as old wrenching buddies intrigued me. The Queen was a truck mechanic during WWII. I googled the image and it's from the State of WI Archives. It's 1942: Bouri Auto Girl Mechanics.





It does look like the Queen but it's a local WI girl.
