Re: Old Street Scenes

This has to be one of favorite pictures in this thread! I can imagine this guy today, telling his kids how he was king of the dragstrip back then, one of the most feared street racers around, his wild ride had dual hood scoops because the engine was so big, yet he can't recall what kind of car it was, maybe it was some special prototype or something....it was a beast....

And the kids think, "Dad must have had an LS6 Chevelle, or a Hemi Cuda, an L-88 Corvette, maybe even a ZL-1 Camaro...."

And then the kids found this photo of their dad's hot rod.

Re: Old Street Scenes

i found a very cool Flicker link yesterday, with vintage street scenes from mostly Calif. incl, SF and LA but some from back east and a few from over seas incl the Pacific and France...
worth some time...
(hope the link works... Flicker is less than user or link friendly)

Re: Old Street Scenes

Wow that truly is a fabulous link with some awesome pictures , however , and I'm not trying to undermine your post at all [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img] ... by clicking on the flickr members user name you'll find all his pics more categorized (is that even a word ? lol) and each pic has a caption and date .

Re: Old Street Scenes

I just wanted to say that I've been following this thread for about a year and a half as a guest and am fascinated by the photographs. I finally signed up today and look forward to viewing more pictures of "Americana" from various collections as well as posting some of my own from time to time.

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...6019be26-1.jpg
This photo appeared in the local newspaper in 1952 when he, along with a group of other rodders, wanted to build a drag strip so they would have a safe and legal place to race.

The street you see in the background is Gratiot Avenue in Roseville, Michigan. </div></div>

THAT IS ONE AWESOME PICTURE!! </div></div>

Thanks Juan! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Something kinda cool happened since I posted those photos of Frank. I meet his grandson Scott! (he came into my store). Unfortunately, Scott never got to know his Grandfather Frank as he was in a fatal accident about 7 years after that photo was taken. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] He told me that he found his wedding ring (you can see it in the photo above ^) while cleaning out his aunt's house (she recently passed away) and that he was considering having it sized so that he could wear it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

I asked for his e-mail address so I could send him some pics of his grandfather. One of the pics I sent was this one of his Grandma & Grandpa:

Scott’s been back in the store since then and showed me that <span style="font-weight: bold">THIS</span> pic is now the wallpaper on his phone. How cool is that? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: Old Street Scenes

What are the chances of opposing color schemes in the same picture! Too cool.

Re: Old Street Scenes

That's the Duster 1 show car. It's still around and in some collection somewhere.

Re: Old Street Scenes

I miss my old Big Wheel, burned a lot of calories on that puppy. I wore out the front wheel the first week I had it. Mom wrote Marx a nasty gram and they sent me a new one. SULLY

Re: Old Street Scenes

Brand spanking new member here! This is the first thread I checked out, and is it ever something!

Interesting to see the photos with models and girlfriends beside the cars!
