Re: Old Street Scenes

I now need to go buy a scanner so I can scan and post all the insignificant pictures my family has from over the years. I can scan he pics at both the fire departments I work for and get a ton of cool shots from there as well.

Thanks for posting all these up, they are awesome!

Re: Old Street Scenes

This was my dad's cousin. 63 Impala SS 'vert, 327 4 speed. My dad was the second owner.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Awesome shots! Makes me wish I grew up back then

Oh my God, I just fell out of my chair! That '55 is RIGHT ON.

That is Mission Raceway... I think the late Bill Phillips ran a Texaco station (Lougheed and Bainbridge) back then.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Cool car all right.

I need to change the title of this thread back to "Old Street Scenes" since it's one of my favorite threads! Wouldn't want to lose it!

I thought that car looked familiar, and Bill's Texaco rang a bell too.

No one picked this shot out?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

South Conduit Ave just before the painted starting line 1/4 mile west of the 150th St. overpass.
After you raced you would have to go all the way to Rockaway Blvd - make a left and another left then
travel all the way down North Conduit Ave to Lefferts Blvd before making another double left to come
back. About a 2 1/2 mile trip - not always an easy feat if you had a car with no plates, lights or exhaust! Sometimes the city cops would sit in the Diner parking lot by Lefferts just watching the cars go by!

Re: Old Street Scenes

Last weekend, in York, I saw this car. It looks like the one posted in this thread where there is a woman and snow. I gave the owner my business card to show him this thread just in case it was his car (he said it was from CO originally), but he never got back to me (yet).

Re: Old Street Scenes

That's very similar to my Mom's car - but it's still in Elmont, NY

Re: Old Street Scenes

Hallo, Guys, just arrived. Congratulations for that great post you all. Those pictures are pure poetry to me. Maybe you would be interested in that one below. The pic was shot here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil back in 1971. This is a public deposit for irregular vehicles right in downtown Rio. The terrain is still there, next to Petrobras headquarters, but no car is there any more, of course.
Congratulations!

What does it say about me that the first thing I noticed was that the cornet players were all fingering the valves with their left hands? Nothing good, I'll wager.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Other than the fact that the picture is reversed...nothing! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

The cat sleeping on the roof of the Jeep. Or, the dead cat that was thrown out the fourth-story window and landed on the roof of the Jeep.

This looks like a picture of the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD.

(My dad was the original Chevy Chase from the vacation movie...we drove 4 hours out of our way to go see this when I was ten.) I wasn't impressed then https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif I just wanted to buy some fireworks... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

Wow, rode many a mile in my dad's Lemans Blue '69 Impala Sport Sedan! 6 banger/three on the tree!

Oh, none of those miles were sitting on the trunk lid. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif

If this is a southbound photo, that's likely the future site of South of the Border! Chili today, hot tamale!
