Uh, me for one. Never saw the attraction.
In a word...yes. 58-61 Chevies were NOT their high-water mark IMHO. The '59 Ford I'm ambivalent about, but the next Ford I really liked was the...
We call 'em BMWs up here: Big Maine Women...:)
Dang, that's so ugly, it must be French!
That pretty much sums up my opinion of ALL of the Finned Wonders from '58 to '61, no matter who built them. How Ford and GM went from the amazing...
[IMG] I love this picture. I've owned a couple of the cars shown ('62 Impala, 69? Nova, 6x Mustang) driven a couple of others ('67 Malibu,...
Yeah, I noticed that later. Hey, I'm old...:o
Wild guess here, but going by the turf rims on what looks like a Fordson, I suspect it might be a golf course. The two guys on the top of the...
The habit of referring to IH trucks as "Binders" or "Corn Binders" stems from the fact that financial success of Cyrus McCormick's improvements to...
Yup. Raymond Loewy came up with that when he designed the sheet metal for the "styled" Farmalls. The F30 morphed into the M, the F20 became the...
Actually, Farmall WAS always IH. The original "Farmall" was the first modern agricultural tractor in the rowcrop configuration. As the line...
[IMG] An uncle on my stepmother's side drove a rig just like this. Prettiest truck Ford ever made. Gave me a ride to school in it after a...
[IMG] Ooooooo. I need a cigarette...:p
Well, perhaps, but nobody forced the Big Three to continue producing gas-guzzling behemoths with crappy build quality either.
That shortwave receiver, left side, third item from the front. Built that. Not sure what happened to it after I joined the Navy. My brother...
That was my first thought when I saw that picture.
Chain drive was common on Sterling (and possibly other) trucks up to the late 50's.
It looks to me like that rig in front of the radiator might be a scales. The pails and the snowy scene make me think of gathering sap for maple...
[IMG] What a fascinating bus! Do you have any more information on this swi66?
Would that have been Misawa Air Base? I was stationed there twice, early and late 70's.
I graduated from high school in 1968. The pictures of the Mustangs, GTOs, SS Chevelles and A&W stands REALLY hit home. All that's needed is a...
Mmmmmmmmmmmm, Vernors! Grew up just northwest of Lansing a ways (Fowler) and Vernor's was the drink of choice at our house.
I was thinking more along the lines of "I only had one beer oshifer!"
Ain't that the truth? :mad:
Been following the Vintage Shots thread for several months, finally decided to quit lurking. I'm 62 and retired. I was born in 1950 and...
Hamtramck is a suburb (or perhaps more accurately, a neighborhood) of Detroit.
