Re: Old Street Scenes
Great pics, thanks for posting!
This series you posted is definitely from the 1964 World's Fair in NYC. Check out the Chrysler building in the background with the pentastar emblems for the roof segments! The giant Uniroyal tire ended up in Michigan after the show. Walt Disney was involved with the 1964 NY World's Fair, and in fact his dinosaurs were a huge hit. They ended up in Epcot Center as the popular Universe Of Energy ride. Ford had an incredible display, including a skyway where real Ford cars were used in a ride that carted you around on a elevated platform. Millions of people rode the Ford ride during the World's Fair. http://onewaystreet.smugmug.com/Othe...ICT0025-XL.jpg |
Re: Old Street Scenes
Disney's carousel of progress was also at the worlds fair i believe.

Re: Old Street Scenes
Looks like they changed out the hubcap from the fair. The Worlds Fair hubcap always reminded me of the 1972 Cutlass S hubcap.

Yes, they did Tim. It's been through a few changes over the years. At one time it had a giant nail in it.
Here's what it looked like when they first brought it here... and with the nail: |
Re: Old Street Scenes
a local realtor had the nail bolted to a trailer for some sort of gimmick.

Re: Old Street Scenes
I just recently acquired a few pictures of my dad. This one is from the 1954-1955.
I believe the car is a 1949 Pontiac Streamliner? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] Kurt https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...d_connie_5.jpg |

Obviously a movie set but dead people all around and the lady on the left is sitting the casually putting on lipstick. Too funny!

This is Hollywood Blvd. The Vouge theater on the left is where I saw Bullitt the first time.

Re: Old Street Scenes
Bruce...that-THAT-is too cool! ZZTop wow!
|
Re: Old Street Scenes
And ZZ Top is still rocking big time. Hard to believe they opened for Jimi Hendrix. ZZ Top still comes to Austin quite a bit. We saw them last year.

Re: Old Street Scenes
Besides the music, the ZZ boys are great people also real car guys too! I partied w/ them in Toronto years ago, Billy and Dusty treated me like an old friend and I spent most of the time talkin' cars/bikes etc w/ Billy. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img] ~ Pete |
