Re: Old Street Scenes

Great shots, thanks!

That one from Pittsburgh really brings back memories.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Hah, you never disappoint!
I think the photos of all the Corvette wrecks are Lincoln Auto Wreckers in Seattle. Visited there a few times.

Wow! Lemans Blue 1969 Impala Sport Sedan with dop dish hub caps! My dad special ordered one just like it from Luby Chevrolet in Baltimore. Had a 250 six and 3 on the tree. Wonder if that was him driving someplace.

Re: Old Street Scenes

The last half of page 210 is s little question marks and no pics for me. Is it like that for amyone else?

I love how so many of the pics have a cardboard fireplace! Must have been all the rage.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Nope, I can see them all!

Re: Old Street Scenes

Boy, those Christmas pictures from the years past are priceless!!! Thanks to all who took the time to scan and share with us. The world sure has changed (some of the changes I'm still unsure about) since then. Everything seemed so pure and wholesome and the hatred and random killings that are happening today didn't occur (or weren't as common or publicized).
I feel a sort of "brotherhood" or some kind of "family bond" with a lot of the people who share the passion of this great collector car hobby. I don't want to sound weird or something, but the time, effort, money, and overall commitment we endure is sometimes only realized by our peers and hopefully their supporting family members or spouses. If only the rest of the world could somehow share a mutual respect for each other in some sort of fashion as we do, then maybe, just maybe, there could be some peace that isn't present now.
Enough for now----I really want to wish everyone here all the best for this holiday season and many more to come.
Stay safe and well, Dave Siltman.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Well said.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Re: Old Street Scenes

Awesome pics. So many triggered similar memories from seeing those.
It kills me just to think what the Tonkas alone are worth today!
Where was the LCRA building at? Did you live down here at some point?
I was born and raised in and around Austin.

Re: Old Street Scenes

I was wondering about the LCRA building, is that in Austin? Thank you for the photos, I was a kid in the 60's and the pictures of the deco trees is a blast to see. We sure had some bad trees back then. I remember our silver one that rotated.

Yes -first begun in 1949, the elaborate displays were constructed early in December as LCRA’s seasonal gift to the people of their home town. The LCRA displays continued for many years, ending in 1969.

Check this out! found it online. Its Darin Stevens from Bewitched. One channel had a bewitched marathon on today and it was cool to see the cars change. In the episodes from 69 he had a blue 69 impala, and his parents had a red 69 ragtop. then in the 1970 episodes he had a (i think) misty turquoise ragtop impala, and also was driving a green 69 RS in one episode! Hilarious show.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Hey Steve....check out THIS post...from way back [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Old Street Scenes

In the one picture on page 210, not sure how to single out this picture, there are 2 boys by the Christmas Tree. There is a GI Joe Toy Jeep box in the background. The one boy is kneeling on a car game. The car game is the Chevrolet Road Rally Game from 1967 that Chevy Dealers would give out to customers. The little boy on the right is holding one of the red 67 Camaros that came with the game. The yellow 67 Corvette is on the game board on the ground... The game still has Christmas wrapping paper on the box so you can't see the box markings...

Pretty Cool!!

Re: Old Street Scenes

Here is a picture of my 1st car I drove. I really enjoy sharing my old toys with. They are 2 and 4. I owe my parents a big thanks for helping me hold on to this stuff for so long. I'm looking forward to digging this out for my son this spring.

Re: Old Street Scenes

I received these on an email this morning so hopefully none of these have been posted here yet other than maybe the B17 one. Check out the 55 Nomad and the 57 Chevy hot rod.
