Wagons in vintage Street scenes

Morrison's Machine shop, Walla Walla.

 

Walla Walla fair parade 1962.

 

New car show expo at Walla Wall fair grounds.

 

It appears both vehicles were involved in some sort of fender bender
because both wagons are driver less, possibly there standing to the right waiting for the police.

 

Guess Who?

Wow! guess who that is in post # 932, It's Dorothea Lange 1895-1965 on top of that Woodie. She was the most famous photographer during the depression era.

 

This photo was taken on Van Nuys Blvd. Van Nuys, Ca.

 

Pantages Theater is located on Hollywood Blvd. Hollywood, Ca.

 

Post #1109 is Elizabeth the Queen of England.

 

Just a Little information for you.

Post #1152 & #1153 is the intersection of Riverside Drive & Fletcher Drive
in Los Angeles, Ca. The street running right to left is Riverside Drive.
It borders on the city of Glendale, where I was raised.
That square building in the top right of the picture is
Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale. All that construction
is the building of the Golden State Freeway or the 5
Sorry I digressed, we would race there on Saturday
nights on Riverside Drive, we would stage
just pass the pumps about where the yellow school
bus is next to the Chevron Station and race
toward the next light which is Los Feliz.
If your familiar with Big Willie Robinson and the Brotherhood
and you were fortunate to be there on that particular
Saturday night you would not only see Big Willie (legend)
but you would see a great race not to mention
some big bucks changing hands.

 

I found this
Slang term for an obsolete, worn-down machine or hardware device. Derived from the misspelling of the word "Jalapa", which is the name of some town in Mexico that is famous for the Jalapeno pepper, and its former junk-car-scrapping industry.
In the ghettos and the trailer parks, you will even find some people living in jalopies.

 

What is going on in this picture?

:confused: What could this young woman and small boy be fixing under
the hood in Post #1365, the only tools I see are a jack,
star lug wrench, small sledge hammer, screwdriver, pliers,
medium hand held hedge clippers,
an unknown tool, and a small pipe wrench in her hand?

 

The Misfits, 1961

Clark Gable played Gay Langland, Marilyn Monroe as Roslyn Tabor,
Montgomery Clift as Perce Howland, Thelma Ritter as Isabelle Steers,
Eli Wallach as Guido, James Barton as Fletcher's Grandfather,
Kevin McCarthy as Raymond Tabor, Estelle Winwood as Church Lady,
John Huston appeared as an uncredited extra in the blackjack scene.

Sad to say that Clark Gable suffered a heart attack two days after
the filming ended and
died ten days later.
Monroe and Clift attended the premiere in New York in
February 1961 while Monroe was on pass from a
psychiatric hospital; she later said that she hated
the film and herself in it. Within a year and a half,
she was dead of an apparent drug overdose. The Misfits
was the last completed film for both Monroe and Gable,
her childhood screen idol. Marilyn had, as an abandoned
child, often claimed that Gable was her father.
