My old Street Scene

[H8tulooze]

These are old pics I found in my file cabinet. My Grandfather was in the Los Angeles PD, City of Vernon back in the 50's and 60's. Some cool old car shots. Also City of Vernon was the first city in California to have Motorcycle Cops carry shotguns....lol

Awesome pics! A shotgun on a scooter is badazz! Like the Terminator! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

[mockingbird812]

Those are some neat shots. Keep em coming. Love the shotgun on the bike ala rifle on the horse. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Check out the 348 Tri-Power! What a shame about the '32 Roadster! Hopefully it got fixed!

The others I have are very graphic shots and traffic accidents, don't think it would be good to post a severed head...lol

[Mopar471]

Great photos, thanks for sharing

[black69]

same here, great pictures. 32 ford was a nice treat. 68 charger getting crushed by the trailer was sad. hope that was just a parked car.
the black 58 chevy shot was cool too.

[al8apex]

maybe these should be added to the "regular" old street scenes thread ...

I'm guessing that 348 tri-power is in the wrecked 58 Impala. In that engine shot, you can see it has chrome valve covers and a chrome blower motor housing. You can also see the chrome blower motor housing in the front shot of the wrecked 58 with the hood up. Looks like the 58 has some mild custom touches in the interior too.

Man,what's up with all the accidents at that intersection...?

[jbsides]

Generally speaking, Southern California can be labeled "Land of Horrendous Wrecks." Within the last few hours the 5 freeway was shut down both in Burbank and in San Clemente for fatal accident investigations (I got stuck in San Clemente, new SUV was not recognizeable). People just drive very fast around here (I'm not passing judgement, I do it too) but also do so in a seemingly organized manner. My rule of thumb on freeway driving, which I have been doing since 16, "if there is room for a car to squeeze between you and the vehicle in front of you, one will." Makes for dangerous stuff at 85 MPH. People go like crazy through intersections, too.

I've always heard non-California residents remark on how they could never live here because of the earthquakes,fires,and mudslides,when you have a 1000 times greater chance of getting killed in a car.
