Our friend David Greenlees has been hard at work these last couple of months carving out a little home for him and all his other friends on the Internet, a place for them all to post their extensive automotive photography collections. David and his friends have already done an excellent job populating the H.A.M.B.’s Photos Taken Before WWII thread (which has given us plenty of neat stuff to chew on here), and they’ve already made a great start on The Old Motor, presenting snippets of automotive history up to 1965.
So let’s sample a couple of photographs from The Old Motor, starting with the one above, showing a 1946 Buick, a couple Nashes Hudsons, a Studebaker, a Kaiser-Frazer and others lined up with numbers painted on their sides. However, they’re not lined up for a stock car race. Rather, the March 20, 1953, photo, depicts the cars out in the desert near Las Vegas awaiting their destruction in an atomic test. Ah, the Fifties…
Next up, I think seeing our post on the Chevrolet Biscayne concept appearing at Amelia Island this year prompted David to dig up this photo of the Biscayne along with Dinah Shore, T.H. Keating (general manager of Chevrolet), and actor Walter Greaza. Ah, the Fifties…
There’s plenty more where these came from, and we’ll probably nab one every now and then to post here. Best of luck with it, David!
