Great old pictures here thanks for sharing! The RED/RED 1964 Corvette has quite an interesting history. It was built for the 1964 New York Worlds Fair. Later Alex Maier bought the car as a birthday present for his 16 year old son. The kid kept the car until the late 80's. Later in 2001 Mike Yager bought the 1964 Corvette. Ironically Werner Meier who had failed to buy the Corvette was given the assignment of restoring it at his shop in Michigan. Today it still retains most of the unique features it was built with for the show circuit.

I think that is the Pontiac 'X 400' show car. There was a story with pictures a few years ago but they said it had been crushed. It seems to have style vents behind the door like a 1963 Buick Riviera. Hood scoops and lettering on the hood to. Notice the black GTO 2dr post in the background. The Pontiacs and the Corvette have 'redline' tires- check the whitewalls! on the choptop dodge. I think these pictures were taken in 1964 and not 1963. Still great to see!

-------Tarrytown,,,That is actually the fuel-injection plenum jutting up thru the hood. Theres a spacer that extends the height of the stock plenum top. Its awsome to see in person. Of all the Autorama and Worlds Fair cars still left out there this is by far the most original. As stated it can be seen in Mike Yeagers museum.......Bill S
Don't you know those two Corvettes had teenage boys drooling all over themselves! I wonder if the silver metallic blue color led to all the tri-fives that were painted that color in the mid to late 60s?

That shot was taken in 1970 at an indoor car show in a Chevy dealers service area. I don't remember the name of the dealer by it was located in Freeport, NY right on Sunrise Hwy. I don't believe it exists anymore.

Long time no see. I helped build this car along with Bob Braungart (sp?) around 1981 where I got my start at Corvette Specialties in Blaine, MN. Quite a change from the normal restorations we were performing at the time. Looks like this photo was taken long before Pro Corvettes got it as they added a lot of signage to the car.

[b] Anyone from Long Island remember the Island Garden Arena?
It was located in West Hempstead, on Hempstead Turnpike, right up the block from the
Aurora Plastics building, where they made the Model Motoring sets.
It was a half domed arena that had all kinds of shows, the circus and in the winter
they raced the 3/4 Midgets there.
These shots are from early 1962 - There was nothing greater as a kid then to go see the Midgets
on a Friday night race on the concrete floors.
Now remember its freezing out so all the doors are shut, there is no real
ventilation system and the shows 3-4 hours long.
That foggy look is the exhaust smoke hanging in the air. By the time the races were over
your eyes were bright red, watering like crazy, you stunk and your head felt like there
were a thousand bees inside fighting to get out.
Ahh - what a great time!!!

The founder of Blount Seafood Corporation, F. Nelson Blount, was a collector of steam locomotive
equipment. He bought a railroad so he could be an engineer.
In 1963 Blount moved his Steamtown U.S.A. steam locomotive collection to a new site
(Steamtown was moved several times before). This latest location was a the former site of a
proposed Rutland yard in Riverside, near Bellows Falls, VT. Tracks fanning out from a turntable
provided an excellent place to display his collection of steam. Regular excursions were run
between Riverside and Chester.
Tragedy struck in 1967 when Nelson Blount was killed when his private plane crashed into a
tree in Marlborough, NH. Nelson was only 49. This event took a lot of steam out of Steamtown.
Most of the operational steam locomotives were either sold or fell into disrepair. Then, in 1970,
Vermont passed air quality regulations which prohibited steam operations. Diesel locomotives
were then used on Steamtown excursions, however, ridership fell dramatically. Despite the air
quality regulations, the Steamtown Foundation again began operating with a steam locomotive.
By 1983, Steamtown again had many (six) operating steam locomotives.
Despite the resurrection of steam locomotives, Steamtown was in financial trouble.
It was determined that the main problem was its location -- isolated from any major population
center. In 1984, Steamtown was moved to Scranton, PA. Still losing money, the Steamtown
Foundation went bankrupt in 1986.
Congress created the Steamtown National Historic Site and the National Park Service acquired
the collection.
Congress created Steamtown National Historic Site in 1986 to interpret the story of main line
steam railroading between 1850 and 1950. The park now occupies about forty acres in Scranton, Pa
These shots were taken in the summer of '75 in Bellows Falls, VT.
You can see the poor condition the site was in. I believe the former site is currently listed in
the Vermont hazardous sites list.
Talk about massive amounts of horsepower!!
The first shot is my Dad taken in front of one of the locomotives - he is over 6 feet tall!

I've gotta tell you, these are some amazing pictures. You had the foresight to photograph ordinary things that most people overlooked back then. The pit shots, the line of tow trucks, even the spectator parking lots. Love the mall car show! We all remember those! Thanks again for taking all time it takes to post them. Oh, and more are always welcome.

Those are fantastic photos!They really capture the flavor of the time.
The locomotives reminds me of this guy Jaque Littlefield who lives a couple of towns over from me. He has the larges collection of military tanks in the word!Something like 100 tanks. Amazing what some people collect. According to him they are basically worthless . He could own multiple top flight muscle cars for the amount he spends to restore one tank.

[b] Saw this at a car show on the island over the weekend. Car was built by Beverly Hills Mustang
of Ca, who was licensed by Ford to build 50 Mustang Rancheros, also known as "Musteros"
They converted a Mustang coupe into a two-seater by shortening the roof, moving it forward
and removing the trunk.
It is believed only 10 were sold in the US. At this time you could by a Shelby cheaper
than the conversion, so not many were sold here.
The unknown balance of the cars actually built were sold and shipped to Australia and Europe.
At this time there are only 4 known Beverly Hills Mustang Rancheros remaining in the US.
This car, which belongs to Frank Herbert Jr. of Baldwin, NY, was in storage for about 30 years.
The pony interior was restored, the hi-po 289 was rebuilt and the car was repainted in its
original color of Springtime Yellow.

Glenn,
Thanks for posting those Mustang pics. That has to be the
oddest conversion I've ever seen. Kind of makes you wonder
why they'd want to do something like that in the first place http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[b] Went to "The Buck" on Saturday night for something a little different. Normally they run the tractor
pulls and monster trucks every weekend, but every 4th of July they have a demo derby and fireworks.
Not having been there before it was a little different then I had expected. The track was only about
50 feet wide and they had the demo area contained to about 100 feet. I haven't been to a demo
in years, and had never seen one in this small an area, or so many heats with this small an amount
of cars. But not to worry, they got going fast enough to bash the crap out of each other!

Glenn, That locomotive your dad is standing next to is a Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 Big Boy. They had 25 built to run the steep mountain grades of eastern Utah & western Wyo.
Were you born with a camera around your neck? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
