[b] 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. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/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.

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.

Man, this is a really cool thread! I got a lot of old Chicago shots. I am a collector of 1910 era real photo postcards. I will post some if you guys want.

Here is one near Madison St & Central Ave. in Chicago's Austin Neighborhood circa the teens.

[b] Great shots Bill - Ma & Pa Kettle - did we really watch movies like that??

Frank your older shots really show the change in our world in the fifty or so years between the settings.
It's amazing!

Are you sure of the date on that Maxwell Street shot? - I don't remember all those hats in '69.

Here's my gas line shot Pete - but yours has much cooler cars!!

It would be really cool to see some comparison shots of the same locations now right below the old scenes, just to see how much things have changed. I bet half of the places wouldn't be recognizable as being the same place.

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!

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.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a234/BE427TJ/Various%20Photos/BattleshipunderBayBridgec39.jpg

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.

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a234/BE427TJ/Various%20Photos/AfternoonFerrycommute1930s.jpg

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.

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's just classic! Black CA plates too. Wish I could read the dealer frame. Looks like dog-dish caps. I'd say that is somewhere along the California coast, perhaps near Santa Cruz or San Francisco.

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.

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.)

Cool shots Bill - I see the Dodge/Chrysler? in the drive - what's that big thing lurking in the garage?

[/ QUOTE ]

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.

The wife was just going through old photo albums and making new ones for the kids. She handed me this picture that has her 76 Nova in the driveway (that's my justification for posting this). My father-in-law has sadly been long passed but those blond munchkins are now 28 and the one on the right has recently made me a "G Pop".
Where does the time go?

This is my buddys dads new 1969 Chevelle SS L78 396 M21 4 speed Convert that he ordered from Mr. Ed at Brigance Chevrolet in Oak Park, ILL while in Viet Nam (Ed ran an ad in Stars & Stripes). George picked up the car upon his return in December 1968. The pics are early 1969 (as seen by the orange 1969 ILL plates). The location is Cicero, Illinois at Cermak Rd. & 57th Ave.

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!

The coolest shots as always Dog but each time I check in I feel somewhat sick about the world we left behind...all for this so called progress and better world we're now living in?!.

Love that Boeing StratoCruiser pic w/ the '52 Buick!!!.

And is that a HotShot in front of the '51 Poncho w/ the MobilGas trucks?.

Definitely - It has the big doors so it's about a '52 by my guess

Most excellent Dog. I've eaten at LUCHOWs in N.Y.C. a whole bunch of years ago. The Deutsch chow was wunderbar! A bit too young to partake in the hops related beverages though! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

W/ all the '62 Chevy carnage it's nice to see the '62 Post car slipping through unscathed in the '50 Chevy/'60 Poncho accident pic!.

Wish I had that smashed '61 to fix!.

Are those drunken women laughing about smashing up hubby's '65 Cutlass Coupe?.

Cool little exhaust stacks on the '41'ish GMC/'56 Ford shot!.

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 http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

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.

That must have been the conversion lot for the 1969 Charger Daytonas. Look at the third car in the center and you'll see the flush rear window has been added with its accompanying bad body work but the regular front sheetmetal is still intact and no wing is installed yet.

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.

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!
