Wagons in vintage Street scenes

1970s - Coney Island

A oldie re-post, but a goodie.....

















Yup, I'm sneaking one in.......

 

Time travelers? (They're texting....)


Tedy, was this one labeled? Looks like Alameda Naval station near San Francisco - a big 'mothballed navy ship' area now.


This is 'T.V.' Tommy Ivo, famous 60's racer (and child actor) Had models made on some of his dragsters. He was the one who originally built the 4 Buick-engined dragster that was turned into 'The Wagonmaster'

 

That's weird Krash...they do appear to be texting. Gotta be like early 70's.

Corvette Nomad concept, 1954



This one should get you all thinking (at least the ones who don't know about it...) Another GM concept, late 60's:


Disneyland parking lot, around 1960. (the Matterhorn Bobsleds may have just opened around this time.)

Clark Gable:

I want to know who came up with the name for that girl's camp and what parents would send their daughters there?!

Re; the '62 and '70 Ford wagons. That used to be my pet peeve growing up, when people would mix white walls and black walls on the same car. Either go with all wsw's or bsw's but never both.

Mismatched wheel covers/hub caps also used to bother me.

 

Well that's better than my dad driving a green '52 Pontiac with a blue right front fender. Seems he didn't see a chain across a driveway one day and sorta bent the fender. Couldn't afford real body work, so he just had a shop put on a used fender without painting it. come to think of it, I don't think he ever did get it painted before he replaced it with a 'used '58 Chevy. And the Chevy spent part of it's life with some whitewalls, some not.

 

Hollywood and Vine, Los Angeles - early 50's (I'm amazed there's no stop light at this intersection...)


Library on the campus of Loyola-Marymount University, Los Angeles - mid 60's.


Ralph's Supermarket, Westwood Village, Los Angeles - late 40's(?)


Same building today:

Is it me or do I see a ghostly image of a woman (superimposed?) on this photo (#11100)?

 

I think it's just you. You see dead people...
