#1 inside of the business card from Stoudts. 2600 for a 70 396 Chevelle? Ill take it! Interesting enough, i bought a truck from this place 30 years later and they still did the same thing-wrote up the estimate on a business card.
#2 Our garage 1948. Whats wrong with this pic?

Re: Old Street Scenes

Looks like the car behind the pumps is heading in the wrong direction !! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Re: Old Street Scenes

There's a Church attached to the station ??

Re: Old Street Scenes

Beautiful natural pair of Gilbarco 96 gas pumps there....Thanks for sharing these.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Neat Christmas photos Glenn. Makes me want to go through my thousands of family photos and look at them. Bad thing is, most all of them are slides.

I'm in the same situation. We have to buy slide scanners.

Re: Old Street Scenes

LONG TIME LURKER, FIRST TIME POSTER. THANK YOU FOR THE BEST THREAD ON THE INTERNET. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

Couldn't remember what the car behind my cousins and I is. Thought of a Biscayne, Fairlane, some species of Buick. But all I could really decide on was it's early 60's, my guess is 62??

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...m/driving5.png
My first cruise, spring 1966. I still drive this way.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p.../bbTruck70.png
My dad's truck, 1970.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...tobecane78.png
1977. My first street-legal vehicle, a '77 Motobecane Mobylette. I took off the governor (making it no longer street-legal) and it could do 42 mph: for about 6 months anyway, then it gave up the ghost.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...66impala79.png
1979. My first car, a deathproof '66 Impala.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...egaWreck80.png
1982. I dodged a bullet here - or rather, a phone pole. This was my '75 Vega that had the heart of an iron duke and parts from 4 other cars.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...1mm/fiat88.png
1988. The Fiat 1800 Spyder is a lot of fun IF you can keep it running. I was a journeyman mechanic by the time I got rid of this '75 version.

http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...m/JIbike91.png
1991. Obviously not a car, but this was my vehicle on Johnston Atoll for two years. The steering wheel is off a 1964 Chevy truck, as if you couldn't tell [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img]

Its a Mercury Meteor.

BTW - The Impala is a '69... not a '66 [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Same here. I am going to attempt to photograph them while projected first though.
Awesome Christmas pics. Takes us all way back to fond childhood memories. Thank you.

Re: Old Street Scenes

you can buy inexpensive scanners that accomodate photos and slides for less than $100 dollars. It is worth it. slides are generally much higher resolution than photos, so you can get some real clear hi res photo scans out of them. Many of my original blk/red L78 chevelle digital photos came from original slides. Here is one (check out the cars waiting: some nice Camaros and possibly a S/S Dart...

Re: Old Street Scenes

My best Hi-school buddy bought this slightly "Day-2'd" original '65 SS L-78 locally. Ivy Green, black interior, originally a black vinyl roof (removed), 4-spd 4.11s. Nobody could catch that car. Photographed in my parents driveway Christmas 1969. It was just coincidence that the plate was "RUR 425". [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

We changed the Muncie in that car that winter in his back yard, outside, on the ground, 20deg, wind blowing. We ran the motor to keep us warm while we unbolted everything. Seemed like the right thing to do at the time. We loved that car. He joined the Navy and drove it to Long Beach, CA from NJ and sold it to another sailor. Never heard from again.
