Vintage shots from days gone by!

Got it! I'd hears 'gams' before but not 'pins' when re: legs. More of the vernacular we were discussing earlier. That, or I guess I'm not as old as I thunk.

 

it's a 1951 roadmaster

 

Would that be Larry Stewart's old "Hobo'' Nashville based drag car?

 

I'm told this was c. 1905 when the area was called Longacre Square. One of these buildings was torn down, and the NY Times building went up. So this became, and remains, Times Square.

 

Wow, Twin! GREAT pic of an EARLY Packard dealership, too!

 

Most all car people like '57 Chevys, even if they aren't GM freaks. But here are some RARER ones!

Gary will like this, even though he may not speak Dutch or German! These are VERY well laid-out ads!

 

That 210 looks odd. I had one and it had the upper bar on the side trim on the quarter. I searched for a photo of one like in the drawing and only found more drawings, every two ten photo had the regular side trim. I'm guessing this never went into production.

 

That parking garage has more fins than a shark tank!

 

Very droll. Best name I heard for a bar was "My Brother's Place". When one of the guys wanted to go for a drink he'd tell his wife that he was going to his "Brother's Place".

 

Probably right, buddy. And will you look at the "150"? How many do you ever see with that trim for '57?

Judging from the ads we've seen of other makes (and years), it does appear that production models, some times, didn't quite wind up as depicted in some literature that had been forced into rush-up mode.

(Not GM, but I have some DeSoto literature, e.g., that shows some scenarios that don't seem to have been built at all -- or, maybe, half the production run at best. The DeSoto fight with Caddy over rights to the "SeVille" nomenclature in '56 pops to mind.)

 

Found this negatve today.I wish I could find the wagon somewhere.
