Re: Old Street Scenes

Man, I can sit and look at that AMERICANA all night long.
What some great shots Dog, keep them coming.
Love the shots with obscure muscle in them, like the red vette parked and the GTO coming down a side street, Great Stuff.

These are pictures from a pile that my father-in-law had. Looks like what might be a '55 Ford amongst the cars in the top picture. I guess that car shows are nothing new. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: Old Street Scenes

Re: Old Street Scenes

It's amazing how much cleaner everything looked in those days! Everytime I see pics like this, I wish I had lived in those times. Seems like pride was a real word then? Who's gonna come up with the time machine? A Delorean perhaps? LOL

Love this one of the Goodyear Airdock in Akron, about 10 miles from home.
Have been in this Hangar a few times since I was a kid.
In the early to mid 50's I lived a few blocks from the Akron Muni Airport. At that time Goodyear Aircraft Corp. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif was still building Anti Sub Warfare Blimps for the Navy. They were awesome to watch,near 350' long compared to a 98' Goodyear Add blimp fo today.
Love the Maroon 40 Chevy.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Here's a special scene for me. This is McDonald Avenue in Richmond California in 1956. The big building across the street on the right is the old Wells Fargo bank where my mother did the family banking. Kress, on the left at the corner, was where I got my first car model in 1967, an AMT Junior Trophy '59 Edsel snap-together kit and it was about 69 cents. Kress had a killer candy counter in the front of the store that was staffed by old ladies who wore their sweaters over their shoulders with their arms free. My older sister treated me to my first candy corn there in about 1966 and it was probably five cents worth. (Man, the things we remember.) This area died in the early 1970s and today is a fairly dangerous place to be even in broad daylight. I would not have been caught dead here after about 1970. The bank building is still there but much of the rest of these buildings were torn down in the late 70s. The Kress building was removed in about 1974. This entire business district died completely in about four years between 1970-74.
