Re: Old Street Scenes

Love that stone house. That is my kind of place. Where is that?
Is that Marilyn in the bikini? Upper portion looks a little small for her. Didn't know they had bikinis like that back then.
Love those white go-go boots.

Re: Old Street Scenes

The stone house was called Crest House and was on the summit of Mount Evans, one of two 14,000 foot mountains in Colorado where you can drive to the top. It burned down in 1979 and was never rebuilt although most of the stonework is still there.

Love these pictures. Keep 'em coming!

Re: Old Street Scenes

That sucks. Thanks for the info.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Not a street scene as such, but a cool pix of Bob Janes ZL1 at Bathurst race track around 72. In front of Ex pat Canadian Allan Moffatt in the factory prepped Boss302 and the locally Ford Aust built 351C 71 XY 'Superfalcon' They call this track section the 'dipper' lol...

Perfect benchmark for a day 2 dart! What a killer look. I dont think its that far off from being a fairly new car. hemi orange was rare I think too, before 1970. Nice picture.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Love the Aussie cars too, please post more!
Is the SY Falcon mentioned one of the 4-Doors w/ 351 and factory shaker cars?
Love to see more Aussie track shots w/ Holden Monaros or Vauxhall Droopsnoots, especially any of the 100 built Firenza Can-Ams w/ factory 302 SBC and Muncies!

The Fiat poking out behind the red rocket streetcar picture looks like the same car tooling by in the other Toronto pics we looked at here yesterday, the one w/ the '70 Cuda and Challenger driving opposite ways.
It was the thread w/ the a barn find '69 Copo Camaro reported to be coming out of hiding after 30 plus years in a Toronto garage...thread deleted now?

This pix shows the town of Bathurst below from the top of the mountain circuit. The pits are the building in the background. Legend has it that ex Canadian Allan Moffatt was taken to the roadcourse and given the tour of Bathurst. While on the public rd he said 'nice veiw,now where is this racetrack' only to be told your on it!!. He said it was the last time he looked left while up the top of the track! lol. No safety fencing back then. Just a public road closed for racing once a year.

ZL1 Vs Boss...Bob Jane has to fit a 350 later to comply with racing scrutineering. As Aust production cars only came with 5.8 or 5.7 litre engine.Bob had to comply hence the 350 addition to the Camaro

Pete Geoghan in his coupe was a frontrunner. He drove the 'superfalcon' FI351C for the Factory

A friend of mine that lived in salisbury, Maryland lost his 69 Z28 the same way in 75. His friend was showing off in it and ran it right up the support wire and flipped it over on it's roof. Cortez Silver RS/Z28 with original chambered exhaust.

The pic of the green Z-28 brings back memories -- I bought the first one at Doc Stewart Chev in Clovis, NM. Same color combo as your pic -- had a 4 gear and green interior.

I don't think it's a Tucker. Could be a Buick.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Here's an interesting story to go with a car:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Mrs. Edith Hild sits at the wheel of her 1954 Plymouth Savoy parked at Steven Motor Company, Chrysler and Plymouth dealers on August 17, 1972. Steven's manager Pete Lisicich notes the very low mileage (14226) for the 18-year-old car. The Hild family drove the car less than 15.5 miles per week. Despite the fact the car only traveled about 1000 miles a year, the family brought it in to Steven Motor every fall for complete inspection and maintenance service. The low miles and pristine condition made Mrs. Hild's Savoy the top choice in a national search for the best 1954 Plymouth to be presented to singer Johnny Cash. He had once owned a duplicate model when he first began singing which he considered to be the "best car I ever owned." Mrs. Hild received the keys to a new 1973 Plymouth in exchange for her car. </div></div>
