Inactive by user's request Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | The trolley bus pictured in the Columbus, Ohio postcard is a 1948 Marmon-Herrington Model TC 48 with General Electric motors and controls. It was replaced by diesel buses on May 30th, 1965. Some of the coaches from this order were re-sold to Dayton, Ohio for continued use or for spare parts. The ones used by Dayton remained in service into the 1970s and '80s, but were replaced by new trolley buses rather than diesel coaches! K. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 663 Location: Oakley, Ill | Brummbaer's post a few above this got me to thinking. They don't make advertising post cards of individual busineses anymore. Color street scene pictures seem to be a thing of the past, too. Did you ever notice how even into the 60s, it was common to take family pictures with the car in the background, or at least included? We don't do that much anymore either. 50 years from now our grand kids won't have much chance to look back and see the street as it was today. Who is going to print the digital photos on our computers? Will they even be able to print them if they desired? I take a goodly number of pics at work, and they have to be paper prints. I think I'll start taking street scene pics, and labeling the back as to exactly what they are. Edited by 50scars 2008-01-06 5:42 PM | ||

Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | AND, to expound upon John Harvey's conmment, above : "digital" images will be routinely lost, destroyed and/or discarded/erased so that, in 50 years, there might well be virtually no archival (hard-copy) records of anything! Digital "prints" certainly suck. 50 years from now :"Oh, wow, buy a digital image of something" (which appearance/content can be changed, at will...) | ||

Inactive by user's request Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | You're welcome, Sven Not cards, but private photographs. A woman from Washington, DC decided to photo document Pittsburgh's tram system as it was facing a phase out during the 1960s. Thirty six of forty lines and 300 of 400 cars were removed from service between April, 1964 and November, 1971. Four lines still run, having been modernized. The last of the old trams were retired in 1999. Now they run modern light rail cars. But they are talking about expanding the system again! The woman was also a nationally known license plate collector. She was somewhat partial to Chryslers since that's what her father drove. K. | ||

Expert Posts: 2478 Location: Dalveen, Queensland, Australia | Yes, it was clearly BMC... I had an initial thought it might have been a 6/99 or A99, but on closer examination the smaller breed of badge engineered Farina-styled lever-damped junk had to be the answer. 4 x 4.5"... who needs it? Frankly, the roof shape stood out plenty well enough for anyone versed in these cars to know what it was... | ||

Expert Posts: 2308 Location: The Bat Cave, Fairborn, OH | It is 100% one of these,check the front and rear 1/4 vent windows,slight rear roof overhang and fins. Yes I have to admit that you make a strong case for that. Comparing what I can see in the photograph with your examples it does look like a close match. That must have been a pretty rare bird even in those days as I've not seen another one like it on these shores. I wonder who was heavy into pain in those days that they would actually want an Austin or a Morris? Maybe there was a granola crunching liberal professor from Pitt University (with the tweed jacket w/leather elbow patches) who thought Morrises were the politically correct car for the Swinging 60s. I wonder if he thought the same way once he met Lucas, Prince of Darkness... :laugh: | ||

Expert Posts: 3156 Location: NY & VT | Mark - The Executive motel building is still there I think, will try to find out, there are several that look similar, but it'd be under a different name, and seedier than in the late '50s - Endicott has gone downhill quite a bit since IBM pulled most of their mfr'ing out - from 12,000 once to 800 now, & most of their old buildings have been sold, they lease back what little they still need here now that the big chip plant is in Fishkill... and Endicott-Johnson shoes, once the biggest shoe mfr in the world, went out of biz in the 70s. so the once nice Endicott shopping district Washington Ave is sort of derelict now, sad, like so many old Northeast towns that lost manufacturing and had the Big Box stores built outside of town. As for Ausable Chasm, I think that building is still in use, I believe it might be a used car lot for a Ch**y dealer... I'll ask around. The area is a big tourist spot because of Lake Champlain. Rough winter weather though, and low survival for old cars, but I did find my rust free '70 MG there... probably because it wouldn't start any time it was below 20 in snow season, Oct to April! | ||

I lived in that area for three years from 1987 to 1990 and I don't remember this place. Nice 56 Plymouth though. The Skytop was on Rt 46.

Location: Parts Unknown | The colors look a bit tweaked with age and not-so-great printing colors of the day, but DeSoto had a color in 55 called "emberglow" that was a stunning orangey-salmon kind of color. Quite striking with white / cream or charcoal / black contrast paint. One more reason to love the finned era cars. | ||
ronbo97 |
| ||
Expert Posts: 4077 Location: Connecticut | Definitely Emberglow. There's an overall magenta cast in the image, which makes the pink look orangey. I could've cleaned it up in Photoshop, but I just threw it out there as is. | ||

Expert Posts: 2308 Location: The Bat Cave, Fairborn, OH | This one I like. 6 1958 Plymouths of various models (Plaza & Belvedere) offered for sale. The paint job of the fourth one from the left looks like Miss Belvedere's colour. Maybe this the dealership that she came from. :laugh: (CP Dealership.jpg) Attachments ---------------- CP Dealership.jpg (259KB - 596 downloads) | ||
