d500neil - 2015-04-07 11:27 AM Can someone on here tell me if there is a way to get a copy of all the pictures on this thread on a disk or memory stick? .......What I do is merely right-click on any thread-image that i want to preserve, and a drop-down menu occurs, with one of the options thereon being :"Save Image As"... ..so I click-on "Desktop", as an easy-convenient destination for that image. Once the image is moved to the Desktop, I can drag-and-drop that image from the Desktop into any other file or folder destination that I desire. Sometimes the confuser system (like: Evilpay auctions) doesn't want me to copy an image off of the video screen...in which case I get out Mr. Camera, and take a photo directly off of the confuser's screen image.

 

I see there have been some answers, mostly relative to how to save individual images.  But to your original question of "all the pictures on this thread" there is another way to quickly and easily get everything in a thread here, and it works for many other "places" you look at "on the web" too.  Instead of going after each individual photo by right clicking "save image", instead when you right-click pick "print".  Then when the print dialog comes up change the printer selection to "Save as PDF".  If you do that here on forwardlook.net you will capture the entire thread, all the text and all the photos into one PDF file that you can save on your computer.  This can be very handy when someone has posted a "how to replace your framiscratchit" and illustrated the instructions with photos.  You just save the whole thing as a pdf and you have a nice selfcontained document with all the explanstions and photos in it.  If you give it a meaningful name, like "replace 60 dodge frasiscratchit" you will be able to easily find it later.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but seems as good as any..
See Christine, as a convertible in this case, used as the main car to teach you about driving... Also a couple other FL Plymouths take part in this on the road drivers ed film.

Wow, 59 Buick Invicta convertible. Possibly even an Invicta custom with
the leather bucket seat interior ? Could we hope for a 4-speed ???

In one fell swoop, Exner began making gaudy, over-done cars and GM took
the sleek and slippery helm. Exner got it back somwhat in 60, but I give 59
to Harley Earl.

Actually, I doubt 1959 was all Exner. The 1959 models were done while he was off recuperating from a heart attack and William Schmidt was in charge. Schmidt remained on the Chrysler payroll until sometime in 1959, which was the reason behind Exner's "S" series cars - the almost 1962 models. And the Schmidt influence would explain why the change of styling direction in 1959.

Exner was the influence for the 1959 GM line-up, but Harley Earl was not the power behind the designs. GM stylists actually started on the 1959 models when Chrysler began production of the 1957 models in the fall of 1956 while Earl was on an extended tour of Europe. By the time Earl returned the new 1959 models were well on the way. And GM management liked what they saw. Earl's 1959 models were to have been updates of the 1957 models, which were based on the 1954 restyle, which were based on the 1950 and 1951 designs. In other words, high, bulky and loaded with chrome. The incident helped push Earl to retirement.

OK, ... forget the names. GM stomped the berjeebers out of Mopar in 59.
What had been a promising run was trashed with bad design and excessive
kitsche. GM took Exner's cue from 57 and 58 and delivered some real works
of art, the Buick probably being the best.

Yes, GM took back style leadership with their 1959 models, big time. The GM stylists took Exner's thin roof line and rear fender fins and went further, with each GM make having its own rear fender and side treatment mated to a unique grille treatment. Cadillac was a parody of itself while the cats eyes and bat wings on the Chevrolet were not impressive. And buyers thought so, too, with Chevrolet actually losing market to Ford's uglified 1959 models.

But the Buick was the best of the GM five by far, IMHO. The only thing carried forward from the past was the grille with its little square chrome pieces. Everything else was new and worked together beautifully, from the rear delta wings to the front canted headlamps. Unfortunately for 1960 they brought back some Buick highlights and plumped up the design. The sleek 1959 Buick was replaced by a chubby 1960 model.

Doc I agree with you completely about the 59 FLs as being ugly, but I also think the 59 GMs were just as ugly, to each his own.

I was doing some work at my dads storage units yesterday and noticed one of these Buick Invictas under a houses carport across the street. Taillights were out and had a flat tire. Kind of strange that I saw this car and then the same night it was mentioned here. I can go check it out and post a couple pictures here if you want me to Doc. Or anyone else.??? I looked at some pics of these cars last night, they sure have some strange lines. I've gotta say if take any 59 Mopar over this one. But the Invicta is by far better than the ugly gullwing Chevy. Imho. DeSoto lives !!!

Always interested in seeing "as found" cars.

I agree with Bill that the Cadillac was a parody, much like the 59 Dodge is a parody.

I never thought much of the 59 Chevy until I saw the decklid up as some lady loaded
in groceries. The shape of that decklid sold me. The front end doesn't match the back
on them, for sure, and the oddly flat headlight surrounds look out of place. 59 Chrysler
had the same sort of ill-fitting headlight surrounds, only they added a pointlessly flat
grille and bizarre "hamburger buns" projecting over the headlights. Had I never seen
a 57-58 Mopar, perhaps I'd accept the 59's as just being part of the scenery from the
times. But in knowing what came before, it is impossible to not believe someone was
either deliberately trying to sabotage Mopar's design initiative, or someone put LSD in
the water cooler !

GM design was very strange;
- the 59 Caddys was total overkill - too much of Everything
- the 59 Buick was very sleek and nicely done - my favourite
- the 59 Olds was strange both front and rear
- the 59 Pontiacs was strange, front and rear
- the 59 Chevrolets was strange, but look at the sleek lines of a Biscayne...

Now look what happened in 60

- the Caddy 60 is a totally sleek and smooth creation - my favourite
- the Buick 60 looks like a strange guppy (in comparison with the 59)
- the 60 Olds, well what can I say.......
- the 60 Pontiac has a body that strongly disagrees with the roof
- the 60 Chevrolets looks like a starched 59 (still I like them - it was my first car)

we all have our favorites but don't we (into 50s iron) do not all agree that there wasn't a car from the big 3 in the 50s that was really ugly? c'mon, calling 59 mopars ugly is absurd. the 59 chrysler is a nice clean design. even the 59 cad, which i do not like very much, is not really ugly. its long and sleek with a graceful roofline. all late 50s cars follow the same styling trend. long low and sleek. if you don't stop bashing 50s cars i'll post pictures of late 70s/80s mopar K-bodys

I particularly like the 59 Pontiac over the Buick but both to me, are great designs. I even like the plumped up 1960 Buicks, and the Caddy was very much toned down and more elegant looking in 1960, Pontiac losing the split grille was a toss-up, and Chevrolet was a definite improvement. The windshields on the 59-60 GM cars are quite attractive though the dog-leg is a detractor for knee-knocking while getting in and out, compared to the Mopar wrap around windshield with no dog-leg, an elegant looking design that lasted until 1964.

Let us not forget, even though we have our likes and dislikes, that everyone looked forward to the new models coming out in the fall. Today, I have to look for the name on the car to tell who made it, they all look the same and for many years. Today's cars are REALLY ugly compared to the 50s. Isn't that why we are all here?

HemiDave,

What is the red car in your beach picture above? I can't make it out, but it looks interesting...

VERY weird car here .... 56 Fireflite (note wide side trim) 4HT with no color sweep.
This was a special build car. All Fireflites got the sweep, even if they did not get the
accent color. Same thing with NY'ers. You will see a similar example on occasion in
a Firedome (with the skinny side trim), but in all my years of DeSoto chasing, I've
never seen a car like this one.

It looks like a 4-dr sedan to me.. I don't know, but was the color sweep optional then? It doesn't have a windshield's sun visor trim like all '56 Fireflites had? It's a Dome trim while the headlight rim and
fender spear is a Flite too.. few messed-up things.

I see you found a picture of the Pine Motor Co. of Winchester, VA.
I bought my brand new car from them in 1959. Just kidding...
but it's a nice thought.
BTW The building is still there. It is an Antique store.

The car next to it is a 1958 Oldsmobile, so who knows how old the car really is. I would put it as a Firedome sedan that someone has added Fireflite front headlamp and fender top trim. For all we know the owner may have liked the Fireflite trim and added it to the car. The We have absolutely no idea what happened to the car from the time it rolled off the assembly to the time the photo was taken. We can only guess.
