Vintage shots from days gone by!

I wish we still had a few of those to do some nice scramble takeoffs from 16R - give those ****ing NIMBY's in "Harbour Pointe"* a good example of a loud airplane... and with those Mopar emblems on the tails maybe a few parts will fall off in the bargain

* a name some lace-panty architect gave a big development south of the main runway; now filled with airport noise whiners.

 

What car is this?

 

'41 Lincoln Continental

 

It's a Lincoln. And just possibly one of the most beautiful women who ever lived...in her prime. Lovely Rita.

 

Ahh wait,wait,wait,wait... here she comes, this is what I really like is when she does that shit with her hair. [enter] Rita Hayworth

Who is the girl with Lt. Frank Bullitt?

 

Not long. I was born in Pontiac Michigan and have lived in the area for much of my life. I walked those streets many times in the 50s and early 60s. Joined the Air Force at the recruiting office in Pontiac. The Pontiac car plant was in the city limits, city officials drove 'em and Oakland County Sheriff Dept used Pontiac Catalina squad cars for years. The city is now but a near-empty shell of what it used to be.
