Old Street Scenes
|
I have always loved the parking lot shots - they don't need to be anything in particular - just cars in an
old time setting. A lot of the shots are like watching a favorite movie, every time you look you find
something you missed before. They are frozen moments in time.
I have hundreds of these, some I've taken, some are from family and some are picked up off the net.
I use them as a rotating screen saver - if you like them, I can post more week to week.

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.
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.

AC Transit still operates throughout the East Bay area (across the bay from San Francisco) and I used to ride the bus on occasion back in the early 1970s when the fare was fifteen cents. I found this 1961 AC Transit promotional pamphlet on eBay a few years ago and laughed at how innocent things appeared to be in 1961. In reality, these people would not dare get on an AC Transit bus after about 1964, especially dressed in their Sunday best. They would have been red meat for all the thugs who lived in the rear of practically every AC Transit bus after about 1965.

Business district, Richmond California (near San Francisco), 1953. Movie playing at the UA was "Island in the Sky" with John Wayne (recently released on DVD). The theater was converted to a Woolworth's in 1959 and had a great soda fountain and killer toy/model department!

4th Street in San Rafael (north of San Francisco). This was a great cruise spot in the early 1980s as other Bay Area cruise spots were shut down. This one was shut down by 1985. I saw a Lola T-70 drive down this street one night in about 1982!
I like this photo because you can see the shell at the far left! Coastal battery near San Francisco:
One of the funnest places when I was a kid in the 60s/early 70s was Playland at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Built in the early 1920s and pretty run-down by 1970, it was still a great time. I can almost smell the second-hand smoke (everyone smoked in the old days, right?), the cotton candy, greasy hamburgers and the musty moldy smell of most of those old wooden buildings. It's a wonder it never caught fire. There was a slot car place on the north end of the Playland strip in the mid-60s. Playland was finally torn down in 1972 and replaced with condos. The beach is just out of shot to the right and that's the west end of Golden Gate Park beyond Playland. Note the sand dunes of the Sunset District beyond GG Park. That area was developed in the 1930s.

San Francisco to Oakland commuter ferry goes under the new Bay Bridge in 1936. Battleship could be the USS Arizona but I'm not certain. Ferry pier and another ferry can be seen in the background alongside the new bridge.
Commuters happily stream off the ferry and walk to waiting streecars to take them into the East Bay bedroom communities of Oakland, Piedmont, Berkeley, and Albany and El Cerrito. One could read the afternoon newspaper and grab a cup of coffee in the ferry's soda fountain during the 20-minute ride across the bay.
Then the streetcars left and headed east into Oakland and other communities. Total commute time from Ferry Building in San Francisco to doorstep in the Oakland hills was 45 minutes. Try that in your car today! More like 90 minutes--on a good day.

Abe, yeah that artillery position was along the coast either south of SF or north on the Marin County side. It might be the site that still exists on the north side of the Golden gate bridge.
Glenn, the Beaver got mugged and beaten and his family moved out of there a long, long time ago...

Re: Old Street Scenes

Here's a neat old place I was too young to experience. Sutro Baths was built on the coast of San Francisco next to the Cliff House in 1895. It was a salt-water swimming and recreation center and later had ice skating rinks installed in the late 1940s. It went downhill in the 1950s and by the early 1960s it was on very hard times and finally closed in about 1963. There was a dispute between the city and the land owner as to what would become of the baths and when it could not be resolved the baths mysteriously burned down on June 26, 1966.

That is a '68 Chevelle SS396 wheelcover. Body color wheels would indicate a dog-dish cap was there originally but perhaps the owner added the '68 Chevelle covers or maybe the dealer had them and put them on the car for a little pizzaz to help sell the car.

Those shots of Charleston SC are pretty cool. The shot with the White Building down at the battery looks the same today.
Some of the other city street shots still look the same today.
The Cooper River Bridge shot is cool too but they opened up a new Bridge 2-3 years ago that is also pretty amazing. That old bridge was steep, narrow and gave you a full case of white knuckles if you pushed crossing it too hard, let alone trying to pass someone after mustering up too much liquid courage at some of the local watering holes.
These are great pics....look forward to seeing this thread continue.

My parents met in Charleston while still in the Navy after the war. They loved the town and as a kid many summer vacations were spent there. That bridge scared the crap out of me every time we went over it.(I don't think my Dad was thrilled with it either.)

That's the home's original owner in the driveway in the trunk of his '52 Chrysler and my parents bought the house from him and his wife in 1968. Car in the garage is a '58 Dodge wagon. In the garage and next-door there's a 56-ish Studebaker Hawk. When we lived there the next-door neighbor built a VW dune buggy in his garage and it was metal-flake green. He used a beater late-50s bug for the donor and I would watch him as he made the swap. I even remember going for a ride when it was finished in 1969.

That looks like an alarm horn to me - Look at the on off switch mounted on the fender. This was the way it done
back then!

My '66 had the alarm switch in between the flags

The alarms were easily over come - they were mounted the way the one in the Chevelle was - facing down.
A thief would just crawl under the car and jam a screw driver into the alarm siren and disable it!

Isn't that the old Customs House in Charleston SC?
If you look at the base of the building you will see round openings. Back in the day when it was built back in the mid to late 1700's that lower area was used as a dungeon and prisoners where shackled to the wall. The openings had no windows just bars and when the Cooper and Ashley rivers crested too much the water would flood the dungeon and poor souls that were residing there for what ever reason would be getting very wet. Thank God there was no ACLU back then
When it was built it was within a 100 yards of the marsh/beach area. If you go there today you will see that they have infilled the area quite a bit since then and water is now 4 or 5 blocks away with more than a few buildings placed between the old Customs House and the shore. There's a pretty cool pier too and a commons type area where a lot of people hang out. To the rigt of the picture and just down the street is the town houses known as Rainbow Row.....another one of Charleston's calling cards.

this is actually the Charleston City Hall, on Broad St.
I don't know who was in the basement but they were probably getting wet also as this is just a few blocks inland. It was closed a few months ago, under renovation.
here is the customs house now, with the famous basement, right on Bay St.

Actually Chris it's the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon. At the time it was built it served as an Exchange/Customs House as well as the Provost Dungeon.
Here's a link.

Been spending a lot of summers in that neck of the woods since '81. Charleston, IMHO, is one of the most coolest towns I have ever been to.

A little boy was the sole survivor from the DC-8. Those were the days when the new jets would descend for landing at high speeds below 10,000 feet (speed limit below 10 now is 250 knots) and I think the DC-8 ran over the top of the Constellation, also approaching Idlewild (now Kennedy) for landing.

No. The 500s were built much earlier than the Daytonas so they wouldn't be at the conversion plant at that later date. Also, look at the grills, it has the standard Charger nose, not the swapped-in Coronet grill.
It's like cavemen and dinosaurs...they were not on the same planet at the same time.

I worked at a lot of dealers, doing striping and other add-ons for new cars. This dealer was Carter Pontiac Buick in Burnaby, BC, my biggest customer. I was there almost daily. I did GM warranty decal replacement for the Trans Am hood birds and other large decals that body shops were afraid of.
I did that for a lot of the GM dealers in the Vancouver area in those years. Did a lot of the anniversary Corvettes too, as none of them ever came from GM straight.

I bought a brand spankin' new 1975 Pontiac Astre and drove it all through college. I got 113,000 miles out of it before I traded it on another new car. The engine had a 60,000 mile warranty under which I had the valve seals replaced at 59,100 miles at no charge. Other than that, I had no mechanical issues whatsoever. I guess I was one of the lucky ones!

Thanks for posting all these up, they are awesome!

No one picked this shot out??
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!

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!

I noticed that, too, but thought "nah, it can't be"
The hubcaps could be easily added but it sure does look like the 61 'SS' logo forward of the Impala script on the rear quarter. The picture wasn't quite clear enough to me to be positive that's what it was though.Glenn, I don't know where in the world you're getting all these pictures, but I hope it's an endless supply

Also note the narrow band white walls and black wheels. Those tires only came on the Super Sport in '61.

Probably not as much as a 2-dr. I think the "two too many doors rule" would still apply.
It is an interesting photo for sure. I wonder where it was taken and the purpose for the 2 gentlemen posing next to their cars. Maybe they were traveling on vacation together?
Verne
PS: I blew the photo up and I believe I can see the column mounted shifter handle in Park, so that would mean it's the 305hp 348 (the only engine available in the SS with a P/G trans)

The Jewel and E-G Home Center was what gave it away to me, too

I believe this is Downers Grove, IL, the north side of US Rt. 34, just west of Main St.
The first photo, from June 1962, shows the Downers Market Shopping Center, which was located at
the intersection of Ogden Avenue (US 34) and Saratoga Avenue. In addition to the Jewel, the center
featured a Woolworth's and the locally owned E-G Home Center among other stores.
Barely readable at the corner of the Jewel store is an oval “Burny Bros.” sign, a popular Chicago
bakery that had departments in many Jewel stores of the era.
The second and third photos are February 1961 views of Main Street, Downers Grove.

The Gas city was on Archer and Mayfield, just east of Austin Ave. Everyone hung out at Ridge Center which was across the street from Gas City. You would pull out on Archer and give it your best burnout.

Who could forget Burny Bros.
They were all over this area and had the best baked goods.Jules Burny was a close friend of mine and shot a mean game of Golf as well.
WOW!...Main St. Downers G. in 1961.
Your 1st pic is looking southbound and looks like it was taken standing on the R/R tracks.You can see Herberts Men store on the left,which just closed it's doors this summer.
Your 2nd pic looks like it was taken near Maple Ave.looking northbound,on the west side of Main..

I was thinking the same Bill.
I honestly think DG is ONE of the Best if not THE Best/largest/well attended,most diverse weekly Il. car cruises going today.Two more local townships just cancelled there weekly summer cruises do to dwindling turnout and week economy w/funds needed elsewhere.While DG is growing with more & more new people & cars every week.You have to get there @ 3:30 to get a prime spot,last year 5:00 was more then ample enough.
Last week DG was packed as it was GTO night..
We're all going again tomorrow night,so I'll stand in those same spots & try to duplicate those 3 shots,includng the Jewel/EG shot.

I honestly think DG is ONE of the Best if not THE Best/largest/well attended,most diverse weekly Il. car cruises going today.Two more local townships just cancelled there weekly summer cruises do to dwindling turnout and week economy w/funds needed elsewhere.While DG is growing with more & more new people & cars every week.You have to get there @ 3:30 to get a prime spot,last year 5:00 was more then ample enough.
Last week DG was packed as it was GTO night..
We're all going again tomorrow night,so I'll stand in those same spots & try to duplicate those 3 shots,includng the Jewel/EG shot.
I don't think I've seen pictures of any cars from Downers Grove cruise nights since I went years ago. If your going as often as you say can post pictures for members of the site?
If not maybe I'll have to go up there myself. And we all know how much you'll like that.

c1952 photo of a Pan American World Airways Boeing 377 Stratocruiser being taxied/marshaled across Sepulveda Boulevard where Sepulveda passes underneath the southeast end of Los Angeles airport. The 377 was a direct descendant of the WWII B-29 Superfortress. Just a few more years and the 707 and DC-8 would put the "Strats" out of work. 377s with this tye of propeller (there were several types of propeller used on the 377) had a habit of becoming uncontrollable and "running away" and causing, in some cases, engine separation and several crashes. In about 1955 a Pan Am 377 suffered a propeller runaway at night between Hawaii and San Francisco. The flight engineer was able to secure the engine before the prop tore the engine off of the wing. The captain flew to the nearby Ocean Station ship (a ship that stood halfway between the islands and the mainland), waited for sunrise, and then performed a textbook ditching near the ship and all of the passengers were rescued. In military use the 377 was known as the C-97 Stratofreighter and the KC-97 refueling tanker. Four 28-cylinder Pratt and Whitney R-4360 radial engines. Yes, they sounded wonderful.

I had to get these pics before the sun went down Friday night,so hope you can make them out.
Then..
Now..
Texas Tommys bldg. is still there but is now a bank.
Then..
Now..About the only thing left is the same brown two windowed bldg. on the left and another farther down.That Drug store is now a Caribou coffee and the distant water tower is a different one today,but still in the same spot behind that tree.
Herberts' is no more,and will become a restaraunt.
Then..
Now.. and farther back.Looks like a lamp post is still in the same spot and they brought the front of the bldgs. out farther too.You can just make out a vertical blue Buick dealership sign in Dogs original pic.I think that's Carlsons paint or Emmetts today.

THIS has got to be the COOLEST thread ever!
I could never tire of looking at these pics!
Speaking of "tire", here's my contribution... The GIANT TIRE from the 1964 New York World's Fair:
It was un-assembled and brought to Detroit in 1965, where it still sits today along I-94. Ironically, I shot this photo when we were on our way back from the '04 Supercar Reunion.

That photo is an art poster by J. R. Eyerman - I am not sure where it was taken,
but it does not look to me like Levittown on Long Island. I don't remember the houses
as looking like that and they also seem too close together.
My Uncle lived there and I remember that the house came with a TV mounted in the
living room wall. Years later when the TV broke they replaced it with a fish tank.
That was high tech for the time!
Levittown, NY

Ok, I had to include this one of my wife, her sister and brothers on my sister-in-law's first communion in the spring of 1970. The Nova was my father-in-laws 396-375 he bought new and raced out at Milan dragway. He was pretty brave as they lived on this block in Dearborn among almost all Ford employed neighbors.

Re: Old Street Scenes

Awsome photos. i think I wasted a half day--ok it was not a waste. I was supposed to Golf.
I have always criticised movies and TV shows set in a time period that they were always using old cars that were 2 doors, convertibles and in settings where a lot of those cars were probably not sold new.
Now having reviewed this tread I see that a lot of cars were well optioned and above base models, lots of 2 doors,4 door hardtops with white walls and full wheel covers.
looking forward to seeing more photos. I will post photos of my Chrysler 300F that were taken in the 60's when the car was new.

That's my Torino - down in Chattahoochee Georgia - stayed in that trailer while I was training at
Ft. Benning.
The beach is in the Carolina's - not sure exactly where - the property owner had put those cars there
to stop beach erosion and piss off everyone in town!

Yes, and that looks like the intersection of Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco during the "summer of love." Doesn't look like "love" to me! Probably a pair of runaways from another part of the country--the Haight was full of them in 1967. If that is Ashbury going uphill in the background then the Grateful Dead's house is up there on the left. The Dead actually moved out of there to Marin County before 1967s "summer of love" because the area was getting too full of newcomers and the area's artistic bohemia that the Dead preferred was almost gone by the beginning of 1967. All those runaway Boomer kids flooded in and basically "loved" the place to death.
And now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Atlantic City boardwalk; the famous "Diving Horse" from the Steel Pier. The Capt. Starns boat would have come from the marina area along the Brigantine - Atlantic City inlet. Capt. Starns was a tourist attraction / restaurant that had sites such as seals and also had boat tours such as the one pictured.
Both attractions are long gone but, are part of Atlantic City's history.

Re: Old Street Scenes

this is the coolest bunch of photos yet!!
three corvairs on the street!!!
That BelAir with the Carson top?
and this Plum Crazy collection.........
We had one of these back when they were called "Re-Nalt" before the PC invasion. I remember my dad saying my mother thought the pedal on the left was a foot rest. That's why he had to replace the clutch three times!
I think it eventually burst into flames out back. 4NJNK

Chris,
I am truly impressed that you recognized that Carson top on that '61!!!
I was about to post a challenge to anyone who could identify it! Thanks for posting and thinking of me Dog. All I can say about those pictures, is "those were the days".

This has to be the Wigwam we stayed at in Holbrook Arizona somewhere along old Route 66, when our family took a vacation trip out west in 1954. We were driving a 50 Buick Roadblaster and went to the Great Salt Lake, Vegas, the Grand Canyon and everything between here and there. We went west on old US6, went through Ely Nevada that you pictured above, went south down to Vegas, visited the Grand Canyon, then took the Mother Road back east. I still have the old road maps we used to find our way out there and back. I'll have to dig out some of the old 35mm slides from when we stayed there. Thanks Dog for bringing back the old memories.

Yep. It was still there this time last year, only they now have 'vintage' cars (anywhere from the 40's thru the 70's) parked around the lot. You can still rent a room there, or they also have rooms open so that the curious tourist can go inside and see what it was like 'back in the day'

Wow I know this one!.. I used to drive by here twice a day. Of course it was never this nice.. Was real run down and being used as a residence with junk sitting all over the place. I heard it burnt down a couple years ago.. nothing there now but the wall. This spot is on RT 30 (Lincoln Hwy) about 7 miles west of Schellsburg, PA. called Grandview Point. If you look it up on Google Earth there is a photo of it the way I remember seeing it every day. Pretty cool to see what it looked like back in the day.

You can find a lot of photos on Flickr.com.
Just go to the search function, everyone's uploads, and type in what you're looking for.
For instance, I just typed in '1969' and got over 108,000 results. Cruise through that for a few minutes, and then narrow things down by adding something else in with 1969.
If what you're looking for is 2 words, like Grand Hotel, then you need to put it in like this....
"Grand Hotel"
I have my photo stream on there that includes some cars, but I think you may have seen most of them on here in other threads.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/14278213@N00/
Make sure you have the time to spend though, you can get pretty sidetracked.

Looks like this one had the new Level-Air suspension. I had a red '58 convertible with the level-air
and a 348 automatic back in high school. Got it for free because the bags were shot!
It sat so low if you parked too close to the curb you wouldn't be able to open the door!

Dog, the Bossa Nova Camaro is amazing. 1968 right? 6 years after the Carnegie Hall show with João Gilberto, Tom Jobim and others. It seems that Ron Tonkin dealership is still there. I send them an email asking about the car but it won't work, as we now. Anyway, for me who lives in Rio de Janeiro, the home of Bossa Nova, that pictures is a gift. Dog, you started something here...

The man in front of him, with the trademark glasses on his forehead is William Kunstler the

Attached is a picture of a fire my mom's husband sent me. He thought I would like the cars. This picture was taken from the south side of the (then under construction) old Tower Plaza in 1959; this shopping center was torn down and reconstructed in 1998.
If you are not familiar with this shopping center in is at the corner of 40th street and Thomas in Phoenix. Bill the guy who took the picture said he got up on the roof of the house to take the picture. As you can see it was quite the event and the cars in that area were very nice.

Great shots Dog. I see Penn Square and the Greist Building in downtown Lancaster, PA. That's a great San Francisco shot with the Mark Hopkins Hotel at the top of Nob Hill. It's part of the Intercontinental Hotel chain now. Stayed there quite a few times. Historic hotel with a great bar and restaurant at the top that affords incredible views of the Bay Area.

My dad had an Etype so he really likes the Jags so I sent him this picture and he replied .........
"Thanks for the picture, the white and blue D's belonged to Briggs Cunningham and are in US racing colours. I think the photo was taken in 57. In 58 and 59 he raced Lister Jags. He later raced Bird Cage Maserati's and I have slides of the team cars at Elkhart Lake. The yellow car may have been driven by Masten Gregory under Belgium colours. "
Dad
Than I got this later
"Hi Rob
I found more information on Cunningham's D Jags. He owned 6 of them,1955 chassis XKD406 ,1956 chassis XKD 506,507,508,525 and 605, so all 4 in the photo may be his cars."

It may only be worth $2.92 mill in todays market.

Dog, photos are great as always -- do you know where this shot is from ??? The Indian Weathervane on top is worth a small fortune today -- if it's still there.
Maybe Lorillard Tobacco company, Greensboro, NC ????
Sorry - not sure - but if you see me about midnight with a hacksaw - you better follow!!

Dog, I love the picture of the Bell Kingcobra (P63A) in the airport ramp shot. Dressed in Reno Air Race #55 paint. Military S/N 42-69063. Bell put the big V-12 behind the pilot and ran the prop-shaft right between the pilots legs. A guy named Bour raced it.

Great one of the Penn Central train on a transfer run coming off of the L&N Bridge into Newport Kentucky (with that 70 Chevy in the photo). That whole area is completly different (the bridge in the background is still there...no rail, no autos...foot traffic only).

Here is one I have been looking to find for quite a while. I was able to take a picture of this while it was hanging at my sisters house today. My three sisters with Dads 65 beetle. The sister on the left totaled (accordian style) this car during "senior drive your car day" in high school eight years later.

Or if anyone is interested (since I am computer illiterate), I can forward quite a few photos to post on this board. I tried to post a few in attachments, but they were too large.

This is not the photo I wanted, I had an older photo of this old place on Pulaski (then and now)....I searched on how to post a photo w/o an attachment and did find something on how to do it but still have questions.....so if someone can send me an excellent step by step process, I will post some old ones.

Here she is as a little girl. She's the one pre-occupied trying to see what kind of car is coming down the street while her siblings are all looking at the camera.

I really do appreciate that.I'm going to collect everything of interest in a smaller folder...it seems dog427435 and I have found alot of the same stuff, so I am going to weed those out. Here is one for now. Let me know if this is too big or too small. I will try to practice more once I get the pictures into a smaller folder.

When I was a kid my mom and dad took me to Sambo's. I still remember the menu with little black Sambo and that lion. Had the pancakes. Not a politically correct restaurant these days. Then again some of the photos here one could make the same statement. The picture came out great by the way.

Pic size looks great! I ate at Sambo's as well...didn't they have "tiger milk" and "tiger butter", too?

Tiger Butter. We would put about 10lbs of 1 lb sticks of butter in a big mixer, add crushed ice and whip it into the lightweight butter that we would scoop with a little ice cream scoops to put on the pancakes.

Years ago, all the Sambo's here in Maryland turned into Dennys.

We did the same thing in the kitchen at Marshall Fields, and added maple syrup to the mix. Rolled the pancakes and filled 'em w/the maple butter like cannoli.

That's still there and is now a Denny's, I think. Lower Boradway in Oakland, CA near Jack London Square.

I do have plenty of more to come. Like I stated previously, it seems Dog427435 and I have quite a bit of the same stuff. In fact in his last post were a couple of photos I planned on posting.
I cannot take credit for ANY of these photos...it is all stuff found on the internet.
