I'm certain Neil could come up with an entire life saga of the two folks in the second photo! Pete ******************************************* I like the crash photos, except the photo quality was pretty bad on a lot of them. I knew a guy once whose father was a State Trooper back inthe 40's and 50's and the kid got to ride along with Dad on Saturdays and take pix with his Brownie. He had an enormous collection of crash pictures that were fantastic. Make that Olds wagon a Chev and that could be my Mom turning around to holler at me or my brother ! | ||

Here are some more black and whites: The first is Shardon Street, Boston, 1964. The second is unknown. The last is the 3-wheel club from Puyallup, WA, 1965.

Expert Posts: 4654 | Great pics guys. The crash photos were all scanned from one source, and were originally fairly clear, but the ones that turned out poorly did not improve whether I enlarged or shrunk them, maybe it was something to do with the original resolution?

Extreme Veteran Posts: 489 Location: London, England | The Mt Vernon Lodge.... "Mount Vernon Lodge “Central Florida’s Finest” was completed in 1948. Advertisements for the lodge called it an ultra-modern hotel court which included 34 units with tile baths, steam heat and a screened in heated (84 degrees) swimming pool, offered at reasonable rates. Located at 1626 Silver Springs Boulevard, they offered free parking under the orange trees, “America’s most unique parking lot”. Owners and managers were Gene and Rosalie Cushman. There were discussions in the early 50s, as the four-laning of Pine Street was nearing completion, that Ocklawaha Ave. be renamed to Silver Springs Boulevard. Silver Springs was important and good for Ocala Businesses and the idea for the name change was to help tourists readily find the “Springs Attraction” by way of Pine Street onto Ocklawaha Ave. (Silver Springs Blvd). There was much debating over this because some of Ocala’s long time residents didn’t agree. Many felt that hanging onto the name Ocklawaha Ave. would preserve some of Ocala’s history. Gene Cushman, owner and manager of Mount Vernon Lodge, was one business owner that fought hard for the name to change. Over time Mount Vernon Lodge became the Mount Vernon Motel and was adjoined by Morrison’s Cafeteria located at 1600 Silver Springs Boulevard. Morrisons’ boasted “No finer food . . . . . anywhere”. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. They had triple A ratings." (Mt Vernon.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Mt Vernon.jpg (43KB - 221 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 3889 Location: Northen Virginia | Most of the buildings are still there. The original photographer missed a gas station in the corner that was probably there back then. They probably use a special lens for the camera; the hills in the back are further than that they appear.

Location: Parts Unknown | Ray, you are funny. If there is ever a toady little import car in a shot, you're all over it !  Simcas never sold that well in the NW part of the States. More in the larger cities, but they were quite an oddity on the roads by the early 70's .... not terribly long after they were new. I remember seeing them occasionally in the wrecking yards along with other oddball foreign makes like Vauxhall, Austin, Fiat, Opel, Toyopet, Saab, ..... I am sure there were others from those pre-Japanese invasion days. I am forgetting the name of the French car that looked like it had a moustache over the rear bumper ... oh yeah, Dauphine ! A girl I went to school with drove a little british convertible when we got to that age of driving. Her family had a fleet of them restored or in the process thereof. But that was really unusual. Most foreign car buffs went for the sports cars like MG's and Triumphs. | ||

Location: Parts Unknown | Ray Bell - 2011-07-06 2:20 AM Doc, I also noticed a TR in an slightly earlier pic... Just trying to keep you blokes on your toes. And the Pommie convertibles were undoubtedly Morris Minors, right? ****************************************** TR's were common, as were MG's. You lost me on "Pommies" ... explain ? I did a little internet search to jog my memory of the car name that girl at school drove .... .... it was a Hillman. Sorry, brain fade. | ||

That's my former car (custom SilverSpecial) parked in the misty rain that wonderful morning in Tulsa. My brother and I had just driven in from Macon, Georgia, and I was a little disappointed to park next to an old Ferd. Thanks for the photo, I had forgotten how damp it was that day.
