Re: Old Street Scenes

this is the coolest bunch of photos yet!!
three corvairs on the street!!!
That BelAir with the Carson top?
and this Plum Crazy collection......... http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...20Scene/41.jpg

We had one of these back when they were called "Re-Nalt" before the PC invasion. I remember my dad saying my mother thought the pedal on the left was a foot rest. That's why he had to replace the clutch three times! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif I think it eventually burst into flames out back. 4NJNK https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

Re: Old Street Scenes

Chris,
I am truly impressed that you recognized that Carson top on that '61!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif I was about to post a challenge to anyone who could identify it!
Thanks for posting and thinking of me Dog. All I can say about those pictures, is "those were the days". https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

I knew it was the "Carson" style but wasn't sure if it was just hacked off a Chrysler or some other big boat sedan https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I'd bet money there is another Renault Dauphine somewhere on the property pictured here......nobody owned just one....you had to have one or two extras for parts.

Does anyone else think that the owner of this car was a little upset when he picked it up?

Dog, that one picture with the Arnold's Mens Wear bench has more vivid colors than any old pic I think I have ever seen. Dude, you're amazing with all these old pics, thanks.

This has to be the Wigwam we stayed at in Holbrook Arizona somewhere along old Route 66, when our family took a vacation trip out west in 1954. We were driving a 50 Buick Roadblaster and went to the Great Salt Lake, Vegas, the Grand Canyon and everything between here and there. We went west on old US6, went through Ely Nevada that you pictured above, went south down to Vegas, visited the Grand Canyon, then took the Mother Road back east. I still have the old road maps we used to find our way out there and back. I'll have to dig out some of the old 35mm slides from when we stayed there. Thanks Dog for bringing back the old memories.

Where is that "Dog Rocks" smilie.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Yep. It was still there this time last year, only they now have 'vintage' cars (anywhere from the 40's thru the 70's) parked around the lot. You can still rent a room there, or they also have rooms open so that the curious tourist can go inside and see what it was like 'back in the day' https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Old Street Scenes

Dog, your best set of pictures so far. Thanks.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Wow, Hamilton Watch Company, Lancaster, PA. Long gone. I think the building has been converted into apartments and condos. Hamilton trained and employed MANY skilled watchmakers over the years. Great American know-how gone forever. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Re: Old Street Scenes

Wow I know this one!.. I used to drive by here twice a day. Of course it was never this nice.. Was real run down and being used as a residence with junk sitting all over the place. I heard it burnt down a couple years ago.. nothing there now but the wall. This spot is on RT 30 (Lincoln Hwy) about 7 miles west of Schellsburg, PA. called Grandview Point. If you look it up on Google Earth there is a photo of it the way I remember seeing it every day. Pretty cool to see what it looked like back in the day. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Old Street Scenes

Some old pics, out of the late 40's, of Mckenzie chevy. The building is still there (last pic). I wish I knew where all those signs went.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Heres a pic from back in the late 60's of my uncles 1965 red on red 4spd L78 Impala. My dad said they used to pound the hell out of that thing. They used to race at Keystone raceway in New Alexendra, Pa and Peterson Memorial dragway in Tipton, Pa.
