Vintage shots from days gone by!

Love the pic of the kids on the unicycle. The days when you were allowed to let your kids find their limits. Just past the limit means grazed elbows and knees.

Mart.

Bit of info on this one:

Auto Barge 1949

July 26, 1949 Southeast Missourian
The towboat, Commercial Tennessean, stopped in Cape Girardeau overnight for engine repairs while on the way from Memphis to St. Louis with a loaded automobile carrier type barge. The barge, three decks high, was carrying 137 new Ford automobiles for delivery to St. Louis, from where they were to be distributed to the dealer trade. After repairs the tow was to proceed today.

On their way to a drive-in theater...

 

Astoria-Megler Ferry

 

I wonder how the glass held up with the landings....................

 

Good run of pictures MART

 

I wonder if there are any clearer photos of this car in existence. Pretty sure it says Elgin Piston Pin

 

Never been there Rich but I probably would be thinking about those people that couldn't find any "food" to eat.

 

Local Dodge dealer was allowed to pace the Indy 500, he came in to the pit too fast and crashed, I have the pit incident on 8mm film taken by my father who was standing there when the crash happened. The pace car has since been restored, was supposed to be given to Al Unser the winner that year, Dodge let him pick something else, he chose a Charger, he still feels the pace car rightfully belongs to him.

 

Looks like Buck Baker

 

Anyone have a picture of this car without it's skin? I'd love to build 1/1 copy of this car. Thanks.
