------That gold Ferrari is one valuable car today. By now its probably painted Ferrari red like all the rest of them, but it looks very cool in the gold. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif........Bill S

Re: Old Street Scenes

Not to my eye Bill. Wide whites and standard full accessory wheel cover (no spinners). Beautiful car though https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Not the same truck...but kudos to the guys that built the clone. I wish they had got the side script the same though.

^ at 1st glance the sedan driving in the street looked like a 68-72 Nova, then I wondered why there were so many bugs, saw the signs and realized that must be an Opel (?)

I thought it looked like a 67 - 70 Ford Cortina Mk2 , parked at the side of the street next to it is their version of a Chevy Nova - an Opel Diplomat which had a 283 Chevy motor .

Re: Old Street Scenes

I thought it was a Nova too, but couldn't find any pics of Brazilian Novas for comparison

The parked car beside the Cortina looks more like a Dodge Dart than an Opel.

Re: Old Street Scenes

that IS a Dodge Dart https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

that plus the Willys Jeep wagon is why the car in the street looked like a Nova at 1st glance

Re: Old Street Scenes

The Rexall Drug King in Hollywood reminds me of an interesting story. I was working in flight test at Edwards AFB in 1992, and had a guy doing some programming for me whose mother-in-law lived in the apartments above that drug store until she was in her 90's and couldn't care for herself any more. Jack hated her, apparently she was a crass old witch, at least that was his side of it. Well his wife insisted "Mom" move in with them, and as time went on she could care for herself less and less, to the extent that Jack, and again he absolutely hated her, was tasked with lifting her on and off the can, and in and out of bed because his wife did not have the strength. None of the in-home care people lasted very long, so there must have been some validity to his opinion of her. Anyhow, Jack was diagnosed with cancer while this was going on, and died in only a couple weeks. Some guys will do anything to get out dealing with the mother-in-law!

The guy getting out of the Facel Vega looks familiar?.

The Olds F88 concept looks different in the wheelwells etc...was there more than one of these?https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Hales Gas & Grocery looks a lot like Wally's station on Mayberry?.

That new '64 Goat Post sure is a beauty...the '65 pulling Jethro's trailer a deal at 450!.

Evidently that one is h-i-s-t-o-r-y and only the gold one survives.

Re: Old Street Scenes

I can just imagine that blue Olds 2-seater with a '57 J-2 engine, a T-10 and Positraction diff with 3.70s. FUN! Good-looker too.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Found this great Herbie Hancock track from the 70's on YouTube and the accompanying video is almost 7 1/2 mins of early 70's footage of NYC streets .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqtki6I-VTY

Tried to embed the video but it didn't work so you'll have to click on the link above , looks good in HQ full screen .
