Yep, I used to hit High Street a few times a year in the early 90's. Sometimes it would take 20 minutes to go one block. One night it took a hour to get from rt 100 onto high street. Ahh, good times.

Re: Old Street Scenes

I wish I would have experienced it back in it's heyday! Now, I live but 5 miles away and there is no cruising scene whatsoever... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Old Street Scenes

Greetings everyone! Quick question. Somewhere in his thread there a picture of a mintish green colored station wagon going up the old return road at maple grove. I can't seem to find it in here, and I want to share it with a group that posts old pics of maple grove. Can anyone help me out?

Re: Old Street Scenes

I "inherited" the family photos when my sister and I cleared out our childhood home. My dad was a shutter-bug, shooting exclusively on slide film. There must be thousands of slides in the box! Anyway, I recently bought a slide scanner and am learning to use it tonight. I processed 9 slides and here are three appropriate for this thread. I think these were shot in Florida in 1973.

Yes, I know they are backwards. Like I said, I am learning how to use this scanner. I promise to do better next time.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Found this on the web earlier, no info about the car or location, just thought it was a cool pic.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Cool pics, note that '69 Impala has a Luby emblem.
In the beach shot w/ the '61 Poncho driving by, way left past the Pinto it looks like a 1 of none '69 GTO Post?
Merry Christmas!

Re: Old Street Scenes

Loving these. Please keep them coming.
Yes, slides are delicate as they are the actual film.
Heat and sunlight is the biggest killer.
I also have thousands of slides from my folks from the early 50's vacations they took, before kids.
But only a handful have cars. Most are mountains and locations.

I'd bet it would be tough to get your car on a beach now days.

Re: Old Street Scenes

I was wondering where some of these shots were taken. Been a long time since that shot was taken. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Wow, pulling a travel trailer with a 6 banger 63 Bel Air? Probably not recommended by Chevrolet [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/blush.gif[/img]

Cool pictures, Rick.

My dad took tons of pictures, too, and also all in slide form. My next younger brother 'inherited' all our family's slides. There were quite a few cool car pictures in them since he took me to a number of car events back in the early to mid 60's.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Thanks Bill. My dad liked taking pics with family members standing in the middle of a scene. I skipped over quite a few labeled "Watkins Glen" but they were shot in some heavily wooded area with not much to see. He was not much into cars, having bought that strippo '63 Bel Air equipped with a 6 cylinder and 3 on he tree with no radio. Cool car, but it was HOT on those road trips! Then he bought that '69 Impala sport sedan with a 250 6 cylinder and three on the tree, but this car had an AM radio! Another hot one on road trips.

What fun Rick. I would worry a bit If I were sitting that close to such a drop [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] But these ladies
know how to find the comfort of the shade.

I think you could make a Coffee Table book of older hotels/motels.

The Sherry Frontenac Hotel is still here. Doesn't look like much has changed in all the years. It is a great blast from the past. Stayed there many times.

Feels like I should be driving up in a mid 60's Caddy when I stay there.

The oldest ladies here lived through WWI and they and the rest lived through the Great Depression and then WWII. They weren't concerned about a little slope in the side yard! People were so much tougher then.
