Good to see your thread growing, great collection you have.

Bill Davis · April 13, 2018, 05:01:32 PM

I just looked and I can see all the photos all the way back to the first post on this topic.

Bob, nice photo you posted a few days ago. What uniform is the fellow wearing ? It looks like Navy
but the markings on the uniform are not correct for the US Navy.

most of the photos aren't available

Something funky is going on where the system needs the page to be refreshed. I think it's related to the image cacheing system. I never encountered this with SMF before. I've tried going back to php 5.6 but it's got to be something odd in the settings.

Update: I changed a setting and pics should now appear full-size rather than as thumbnails. Still having odd refresh issues and now permissions problems.

Quick note... I noticed some of these photos didn't show up at first. I reloaded the page and got an error message. I reloaded again and the pics were here. I hope it's just me and a transitory error but ... if all else fails reload.

RC Drown · April 06, 2018, 08:40:37 PM

I received this one in the mail earlier this week

Go Fleiter · February 26, 2018, 03:02:38 AM

Greetings! Go!

POC-Admin · February 15, 2018, 10:52:37 AM

Great photos Bob - keep them coming - I will try to find some to add too.

RC Drown · February 15, 2018, 05:33:45 AM

when you said transporter, I thought you meant the trailer not the truck, you English talk funny LOL

Bill Davis · February 14, 2018, 09:55:51 PM

Tom,
Here are a couple of Dodges (I think) for you.

Bill Davis · February 14, 2018, 08:01:43 PM

Tom,
No, unfortunately, this is all of the photo I have. I did not crop it before posting. Sorry.

RC Drown · February 13, 2018, 07:22:38 AM

RC Drown · December 17, 2017, 06:19:13 AM

This is a great photo, it almost looks as if she is in a WAC uniform, but with the shoes she is wearing and no military markings on her coat, not sure either

Bill Davis · December 16, 2017, 11:09:02 PM

One more. I had to go back and re-size this one ....

Bill Davis · November 27, 2017, 09:27:12 PM

Bob,
Thanks for the great photos. I had never heard of the Golden Key Contest held at the
1940 World's Fair. Thank you for posting the photos.

RC Drown · November 27, 2017, 07:29:02 AM

Bill you talk about the young lady winning the 1940 Plymouth. Did you ever hear of the Golden Key Contest that took place during the 1940 NY World's Fair.

The Big Three would give a car away on their specific day, here are some photos of the winners and their new 1940 Plymouths.

I am so sad to say that the photos I found on the internet in a article about the contest. but I do have the envelope which I one on ebay

Bill Davis · November 26, 2017, 11:25:51 PM

Re: the photo I just posted with the young lady winning a 1940 Plymouth, here is the story
that was attached to the photo when I first saw the photo, and the product mentioned. I had never
heard of this product before then.

One of my earliest memories of things mechanical. This Borough Superior SS1000 1932 Vee twin Jap, the only photo I have of it and I only ever knew it as a solo, the man pictured became my step father. Roll back to 1952, I was five, one of 4 boys that my mother raised single handed after my dad went to work one day and didn't come back, looking back gee things must have been tough.

The Borough had a few problems, we had a pair of heads cast and machined, I remember lapping in the heads to the point where you could pick the 2 parts up just holding on to the head. All the work was done on the kitchen floor as long as mum was out, anyway it all went back together and ran, my job was to watch the oil pump forcing oil passed a glass file showing that we had flow. The pillion seat was just a rectangular pad supported on springs from the mudguard. Boy did I have fun on that pillion, no helmets back then, hate to think how many miles we travelled.

Sadly my step dad died when I was seven and shortly afterwards the Borough, an Indian straight 4 and the Austin Seven all got sold for a few pounds. I'm the good looking lad on the R/H running board

RC Drown · November 26, 2017, 10:09:34 AM

32cabrio · November 26, 2017, 07:18:24 AM

Here are some old photos that came in the mail today that I thought I would share, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do collecting them

RC Drown · September 02, 2017, 11:33:59 AM

Thanks Bob, You are one of the few that keeps this site from being a total dust bin. I am so used to Facebook I keep looking for the LIKE button ;). We all need to post more to show folks that this can be a vital asset to the club members.

RC Drown · September 01, 2017, 06:31:50 AM
