Vintage shots from days gone by!

Yeah, or before we're gone too.

BTW, good to see other people than just swi66 posting stuff too - I'm lovin' Rootie's race car shots - thanks for all the interesting new stuff and kicking this thread along with some new life. Long may it survive and prosper.

 

The more I look at this pic, the more I think it's not vintage. Cool pic, but........?
Anyone know?
(..........anyone care?)
Cheers.

I recently posted the pictures that I took at the 1961 Indy Nationals. Lots of people liked them, but the thread soon fell from the front of the forum. If you like these three pictures and did not see the original thread go here:

Wow, I had no idea or living in a hole, that GM experimented in their design studios with Cadillac type fins on their trucks (reference to the hub caps, must of been '55/'56?).
This is something I have drawn many of times in my concepts of the '50's Caddy pickups - which I think GM should of built.
