Some think that all of these photos were staged for the benefit of the camera. Not likely. Most were taken as they happened. I love the look that...
SWI66, Any change that you have a larger copy of this? I think it would make for an interesting read, even if it is fiction. Robert

Huh! Never heard of it! I'll have to check it out. Since I don't currently have a vehicle, it might be something that I can use. Thanks! :D Robert

This is in keeping with SouthUrn's posting of the Operation Crossroads and B-47 photos. Operation Doorstep was a test of the survivability of...
I had completely forgotten about Schwann's. I agree with you about the quality and service, but their prices are a little too high for my meager...
WOW! Great pics, SouthUrn. I've never seen those stills before and they are far more detailed than the movies I've seen. Especially the one...
See? I told ya that it wasn't a B-57!:D To be honest, I had totally forgotten about the GAF-built Canberra's. And I'll have to take your word for...
Thanks for the info, Jim. I appreciate it. I only remember milk delivery, and a couple of grocery stores delivered but that ended in the early...
What's the deal here? Did Helm's make home deliveries of baked goods, like the milk companies did? Until I came here, I'd never seen home...
No arguments there! Not only is she pretty, she's dressed like a (GASP!) girl! I'm old enough to admit that I really miss seeing young ladies...
This is the TES-3 Mobile Nuclear Power Station of 1961. Yes, NUCLEAR. It was mounted on a Soviet T-10 tank chassis that was lengthened and...
I'm pretty sure that this is not a B-57. I think that it's a Canberra with the Royal Air Force. Note that the canopy is offset to the left side,...
Yes, a turboprop. Suitably modified, of course. From the Wikipedia article: "The Bristol-Siddeley Proteus was the Bristol Aeroplane Company's...
Okay, the Ford Thunderbird was, at least until 1968, IMHO, a classic personal luxury car. Ford managed to avoid some of the excesses of other...
No more candy for this bunch! Look at the boys eyes! He HAS to be on a super sugar high! :p Robert
I can't tell from this photo, but is that a fabric covered sunroof, or metal? Surely it's not just an open top! Knowing how 'innovative' that...
Dago, that's not a vacuum cleaner. It's a hair dryer. I have 5 sisters and I can remember when all five had one going. The noise sounded a lot...
Thanks for the answer, Jim. That one really had me scratching my head. I wonder why new cars, with all of their doo-dads and gizmo's don't have...
What in the world is going on here? I've never seen anything quite like it. Does anyone know? Robert
I was notified by the mods that post 1965 photos were not allowed on this thread and they have since deleted them. I wish to sincerely apologize...
Really? I never knew that. I think that my mom had a '58 Impala with a 348 and it seemed to have a lot of pep. But then, I was about 12 then and...
Chevrolet 409's? Wouldn't you just love to have all of the engines in this pic? :D Yeah. Me too. Robert
Okay, I don't know a thing about this car except that it certainly is sweet-looking. Anyone have any info about it? [IMG] [IMG] IMO, it...
Rod, do you guys have Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose down there? It's the only 8-engine plane that I know about that uses the R-4360. In any case, no...
Somehow, Don, I doubt that this was a topic that came up in normal conversation very often. But I have no reason to doubt my step-dad about it...
Actually, Don., Several aviators were buried at sea with their planes. It wasn't normal and the Navy tended to frown upon the acts. But at times,...
ALTERNATE CAPTION: "Darn it, Ernie! I told you that making a right turn on a red light was suicide in this town!"
