That is Mission Raceway... I think the late Bill Phillips ran a Texaco station (Lougheed and Bainbridge) back then.

Cool car all right.

I need to change the title of this thread back to "Old Street Scenes" since it's one of my favorite threads! Wouldn't want to lose it!

I thought that car looked familiar, and Bill's Texaco rang a bell too.

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!

Last weekend, in York, I saw this car. It looks like the one posted in this thread where there is a woman and snow. I gave the owner my business card to show him this thread just in case it was his car (he said it was from CO originally), but he never got back to me (yet).

That's very similar to my Mom's car - but it's still in Elmont, NY

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!
