How about a 'period' classics pictures thread
Discussion
I wasn't wearing my glasses when I posted the 'bap' shot, profuse apologies to anyone who may or may not eventually be deeply offended, honest... 
''Don't drag that there hose across mah paintwork son.... dang, too late''
Battery Park Tunnel, Brooklyn, May '73...

Bit of an eyeful that lot, but then this is the very definition of a visual thread

Just sorting through my late fathers old slide collection and found a few of some Kiwi cars from late 50s to mid 70s.
Local fair - around 1959.
Community picnic - 1962 or 63 maybe.
Ship (MV Treneglos) runs aground off Timaru, 1964.
Winter at Lake Tekapo, 1966 or 67.
Kids on fundraising ride, around 1977 or 78.

I'm interested to know where you're suddenly finding all the amazing pics, P5BNij. For ages, just the odd picture, usually of a dirty BR diesel which a Cortina Mk2 or something had happened to photobomb. Then suddenly, as Volume 1 draws to a close, you fill it with this stuff!
Good work
Good work

Just a by product of all the er... 'research' I'm doing into buying and owning a rumbling yanky V8 really! I usually get two or three notification emails a day from pinterest showing hundreds if not thousands of images of old cars and period advertising etc, I skim through each one saving whatever takes my fancy then share them (or perhaps inflict them...?) on here. It's amazing what pops up if you keep your eyes peeled, with the yank car stuff there's a lot of the more recently restored / modified / hot rodded material but the period stuff is well worth a good old trawl over a cuppa / Martini / poisin of choice Good work
Happened upon this recently, no info but a nice period shot...

Would you by any chance have any Challenger memories, articles, photos etc, from the late 1970s and the 80s ? Particularly of cars in the U.K. ?

That's Billy Kydd's 'Wills Fargo' A/Altered. Kydd was from London, Ontario in Canada, and he raced that for about 12 years, holding many NSRA records, and it was the first gasoline fed Altered car to run in the 8's. I believe it still exists today.Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
