The steering wheel is to the right of The Fuhrer ?

The swastika was on American cars (e.g. the Krit Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan from 1909 to 1915) years before it was associated with German cars and the Volkswagen VW. http://rexcurry.net/krit_motor_car_company_detroit.html

Still confusing with the NY tag in the front and what appears to be a German named business in the background.

Re: Old Street Scenes

What you're seeing are a driver & the twelve members of the jury in the trial of one Charles Becker on their way to lunch.

"Charles Becker Trials: 1912-14 - Becker Runs Crime Ring From Within Police Department, Tried Before New York's Hanging Judge

Defendant: Charles Becker
Crime Charged: Murder
Chief Defense Lawyers: First trial: John F. Mcintyre, Lloyd B. Stryker, and George W. Whiteside; Second trial: W. Bourke Cockran, John Johnstone, and Martin Manton
Chief Prosecutors: First trial: Frank Moss and Charles S. Whitman; Second trial: Charles S. Whitman
Judges: First trial: John W. Goff; Second trial: Samuel Seabury
Place: New York, New York
Dates of Trials: October 7-30, 1912, May 2-22, 1914
Verdicts: Guilty, both trials
Sentence: Death by electrocution

SIGNIFICANCE: The sordid career of New York police Lieutenant Charles Becker included graft, extortion, and ultimately the murder of his former gambling hall partner. Becker's brazen operation of a personal crime syndicate from within the police department provided novelist Stephen Crane with Vie inspiration for his work Maggie: A Girl of the Streets. Becker's trial also inspired the public and the press to give more attention to big-city corruption.

Charles Becker was born in 1869 into a family of German immigrants who had taken up residence in New York City. When Becker grew into manhood in the early 1890s, New York was teeming with immigrants and a new industrial prosperity. It was also a city rife with corruption. The Tammany Hall political machine and the crime bosses openly ran New York together and had a long tradition of sharing the wealth from prostitution, gambling, extortion, and other flourishing vices. Although there were many honest policemen, plenty of officers were willing to fatten their wallets by cooperating with the crooked politicians and the bosses. Unlike the lowly cop on the beat who looks the other way every now and then, however, Becker became actively involved in the New York crime world.

Becker was a tall man weighing well over 200 pounds, all of it muscle. He was violent but also intelligent. While the thugs that he controlled took in more and more protection money from pimps and gambling houses, Becker also obtained promotion after promotion in the police department. In 1911, police Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo promoted Becker again, not only making him a lieutenant and Waldo's aide, but also the officer in charge of a special squad charged with cracking down on crime."

If it's the same car.... why is the GTO sticker on the rear quarter panel in different locations? Looks to be a couple inches higher in the trailer pic https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I saw that too but looking at the two pics figured maybe he wiped out and repaired the left 1/4 over the time he was morphing from graduate straighto-boy to party-lad pulling Jethro's love-lounge to Woodstock?.
Never did find another left-rear trim ring after the accident or going for the Judge look on a '68?.
Is that blue base jack he's using the original Goat piece?.
And I wonder what extra speed/stability that cool fin on the trailer adds?.

I about fell out of my chair when I saw this picture. This is a buddy of mine's family business. His Dad started in 1953 and is still working today~. Just goes to show you how small of a world it really is. This pic is up on their website. His Dad went to grade school with my Mom way back in the day~ This is so cool~!

Re: Old Street Scenes

My relatives built this thing back in the late 60's in SoCal. Those are 348/409 valve covers, right? Anyone remember this thing?

Re: Old Street Scenes

^ the question is WHERE was this taken? What sort or activity? Infield at a NASCAR race? (Those are 73 Michigan plates, they were used through 75.)

The next question is did this one survive?

Re: Old Street Scenes

In case anyone's wondering, this is the Lions Gate Bridge here in Vancouver, BC.[ QUOTE ]

Re: Old Street Scenes

I love this thread. I have been wanting to post some pictures but haven't made time. So far this is all I have.

This was my uncle's 1969 Torino GT. It had a 390 with a 4 speed. These were taken in 1971...I was 7 at the time. I remember him coming home on leave from the Air Force and picking me up (early in the morning), taking me to my other uncle's house out in the country. He would really rip through those country roads...90mph+. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

The blinkers on the hood scoop were the coolest thing EVER!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Here are a couple of pics.
