You can spot from the gear lever (left handle)that she is in first gear....

 

Toronto 1950, subway construction

 

HAMB member boltupal asked me to upload these pictures for him.

"art kern. Ford guy since high school, that is his first car , a 49.Very talented welder , and of course you cant weld and not drink beer."

 

It's crisp because of the depth of field of the photo. I have seen similar photos and doubt very much that they were photoshopped.

 

Appears to be the same building and men...at the same time ...looks like no Photoshop to me.

 

OK ! OK. Too bad that last pic wasn't in the first batch.

 

Second pic wasn't posted .... just did a little Google detective work ... was curious.

 

Looks like my old car, if it is, that hole was made by my old friend Russ Lawrance . We/ I hit a 59 Chev wagon head on.

 

I wonder how many of those guys are still in there?

 

(a water-cooled pushrod V8 w/ 4 (?) over-head valves ... approximately 1914/5)
Recently added to the SDASM archive photo stream - 742 views atm and yet no-one has identified it.
I've only found a reference to Curtiss developing but maybe not actually realising alloy heads, etc., for the OXX6 ... someone here able to solve a little mystery?

sure i could be wrong but i'm also pretty sure there are two inlets hidden in there.

just found how way to attach from flickr; now 1042 views and still none the wiser ...

 

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!! OK, by me.

CRAZY EYES!

 

If you look at the left bank, you will see at least three push rods going to the head of each cylinder. That is more than are needed for just two valves. Also if you look closely under the rocker shaft on the right cylinder you will see additional valve springs.

 

They're back around again. I get them at the local grocery store.

 

A shot from 1936, my great uncle moving my grandmother from Pittsburgh to Cleveland.

 

The flood of 1936 in downtown Pittsburgh, photos by my great grandfather.

 

Me and my sister with my grandmother and great grandmother as book ends in the back row. Not sure what the car is, but I know it's a Chrysler product because my dad and his two uncles worked at the Chrysler DeSoto dealership and everyone in the family had a Mopar.

 

1953 Plymouth

 

Historic photo of the JC Penney store parking lot Oct. 17, 1965, at Latham Corners in Colonie, N.Y. (Times Union archive)

 

Can anyone find a car newer than a '61 in this photo? Interesting.

 

If you track straight back from the '58 Plymouth in the foreground I see what I believe to be a '62 Ford Sunliner (probably red w/white top) facing the viewer, sitting to the right of a dark colored '61 Pontiac.

And, almost dead center of the photo is a '62 Oldsmobile 4 door hardtop (parked to the right of a '56 Buick wagon).

2 cars to the left of the same '56 Buick wagon, I believe to be a '62 Chevrolet 4 door hardtop.

Newest I can pick up on my phone...

Sooooo, can anyone see anything newer than a 1962 model year?
