Vintage shots from days gone by!

WOW!!!----------What a terrific buy on same color paint!

 

Did "Side bags" work?

 

haha,I hope so!...

 

I wanna know why only the door is damaged and not the cowl and 1/4?

 

I thought the option was available on all models.

 

Looks to me like the other vehicle came at it from the right side front moving toward the rear, thereby the rear fender keeping it away from the 1/4 panel area. The rear part of the front fender kept the other car away from the cowl. I see a headlamp imprint on the door.

 

Out of all of those cars, I would like that little 1931 DeSoto 3 window coupe at the upper left, please.

 

Beautiful 210 Sport Coupe. Yes, injection was available on any model. Quite a few were 4 door Sport Sedans (hardtops).
Many were the milder 250 HP version, and of course the higher compression , solid lifter 283 HP engine was the big news making 1 HP per cubic inch. Chrysler had already achieved the magic formula, to be fair.

 

Door probably popped open when front fender made contact , slammed shut real fast after

 

Maybe a car with a rear mounted spare backed into it? ob

 

It's still not clear isn't it.

 

St Pete, FL

 

I wonder what that neighborhood looks like today.

 

My brother in law’s grandfather built the Malibu pier and developed paradise cove in Malibu. When he died he left the family a big house on Catalina island, the largest privately owned property on the island and the only home with a pool, and a beach front home in Malibu. The Malibu home was used in countless movies and tv shows but they sold it because of family squabbles. They still have the island home.

 

This is Lakewood Ca, where I grew up. It borders Bellflower, Long Beach and Paramount. The first track of homes was built in ‘47, where I lived, but the rest of the city took off in the early 50’s. You had to be a veteran or current military to buy a home when new.
This famous picture was staged for Life mag.

 

Used to stop there with my dad and brother on way up the coast to do some surf fishing, those were the days
