Vintage shots from days gone by!

Loading up cars for transport from the Studebaker factory in Hamilton, Ontario. Cars are 1964 models.

 

Now I see why WWII parachutes worked so well!!

 

WWII Curtis "Helldiver"

 

I want to live at this guy's apartment complex

 

This is one thing we do better now; all those poor cats cramped up in that tiny cage.

 

Hollywood & Sunset, 1930 (that's what the Los Angeles Public Library caption said, but Scrubba noted that he lived there and the two streets run parallel, so the caption was wrong, thanks, Scrubba!)

 

Can you spot the Willys?

Check this link to see Denise Diplock from Norwalk CT high school class of 1972; no kidding. I thought somebody made the name up but the pic looks like her to me based on the pic of her on page 4013.

Maybe 2 Willys? the rusted sedan at the front and the blue sedan just to its right, just see the quarter panel...not sure about the rusted sedan, but it has a small rear window like the Willys did...

 

Ann Margaret - beautiful woman. Always thought her husband (Roger Smith) of 77 Sunset Strip fame was one very, very lucky guy.

 

Actually I believe she was from Norwalk, CA

 

Am I missing something? What's the attraction?

I am not sure that the luck of having Ann Margret wasn't offset with the blood clot to the brain he suffered in the '60's and myasthenia gravis that he later contracted. A somewhat sad story in truth, but amazing that he survived and their marriage lasted.

 

And the Bard Theatre (second picture above it) is the Vista under its original name.

I'm guessing this photo was taken before she fell from the stage prop and her face was crushed. Extensive surgeries and lots of pain for her.
These two have paid their karma forward......
