Re: Old Street Scenes

Does it look like the red '62 Corvette in the dealers shop has knock off wheels on it? I can kind of see spinners on the left rear wheel. Looks like there are some '63 Chev's in the shop.

Re: Old Street Scenes

I'm pretty sure that those are stock '62 Corvette hupcaps. By the way, every car in that shop photo is a '61 or '62 Chevy. There are no '63's in that photo.

My dad and his 53 Chevy taken in Vancouver, either in Stanley Park, or the UBC grounds.

Richmond, California. Has to be. Dog, you need to tell us what's going on and where these photos are from!!! Too many great photos with no information. I'll have to forward this one to my Richmond buddies and see if they recognize these people.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Here is a photo of my 1960 Chrysler 300F,taken near Petyo Lake on the Icefields parkway between Lake Louise and Jasper. The photo was taken 50 years ago this month. The car still has the original paint and chrome trim and I have the licence plates that are on the car in the photo.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Before I read your notes about location, I shared the picture with my wife, we grew up in the bay area. We both noticed "our hills" and said yep, has to be the bay area. Curious what the verdict is.

Peyto Lake! Give it a second to load and then scan around....simply beautiful! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif

Re: Old Street Scenes

Wow Adam, that picture of the car on the wall is in my neighborhood at the Cermak Plaza. The picture isn't actually that old. You can see the same view here in this google maps link. The owner of the plaza was an artist and had other car art there including the famous "spindle" or "car-kabob" piece.

Cermak Plaza

I am 99% sure that the view under that of the Sears store is in the same plaza. It would be interesting if it is because the plaza opened in December 1956. By the looks of those cars it looks like that era.

Re: Old Street Scenes

That shot of the Bucanneer Lodge in the Key's.... it was owned by my father in law's brother... and the Dion Tire below that is still there in Homestead, but is now Dion Oil Co....

Wow this internet is amazing. I had no pictures of this car for thirty years. Now, they keep showing up. I am not in this photo, most probably getting a cold one from the trunk https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Looks like Ray Romano, Arnold Horshack from 'Welcome Back Kotter' before his haircut, and Britney Spears mom.

What a nice looking '54. Blackwalls, hubcaps, simple two-tone. Note the dealer call-out attached under the trunk emblem. I wouldn't change a thing.

San Francisco, looking south-east down Mason, I think, and Market Street is down at the bottom. I'd bet the Mark Hopkins is on the left.

I'll take the dark blue Apache. You guys can fight over the rest!

Re: Old Street Scenes

^ then I will take the Corvette, even though it has whitewalls ... and obviously NOT the big brakes

although the SS Impala has the 327 ... probably doesn't have a clutch pedal ...
