KevinMoparFord Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 This is from Cadilac, MI, just north of Grand Rapids. I was there fro a Vintage Thunderbird Club regional meet in 1998. This is my car and is my favorite picture if it. The owner's sister took pictures at night, her kids would wet the ground. I visited this place in 2005 while on a business trip, but not sure if it is still there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groo12 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Nice truck ray Thank you. Taken at the Wig Wam Hotel, Holbrook, Arizona. Spent a lovely hour or so in their carpark, snapping away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Some very cool stuff. I took these in 2010. This was the old Bancroft Chrysler-Plymouth on Bancroft St. in Worcester, Ma. They took down the late 1980s remodel and have since covered this back up. The building is now apartments. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The Wayside Inn grist mill in Sudbury, Ma. This was built in 1922 by Henry Ford (yes, that one,) who owned Longfellow's Wayside Inn at the time, and most of the land that is now called Wayside Village, on the Marlborough/Sudbury line.

Dr. Cranky Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 It's interesting when you've been taking pictures for several years how certain themes and elements begin to appear over and over in the work. I think this is how you've trained your eye to find what YOU like for subject matter. In my case it is rust and abandoned roadside stuff.

Chuck Most Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 This 1945 Federal sat out in front of a well-drilling business on a main Highway in central Michigan for a few years. No idea what ever happened to it, but it isn't there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja-view Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 What a great model that would make! Looks like the "Class of 45" chose it, too. OK...I doubt any markings from 1945 would survive for these years. Obviously some REALLLLLLY old-timers still around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Zipper Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 This is a late '40s or early '50s Chevy that belongs to a local farm near my home-right now they are using it as a bumper stop to fill those plastic tubes full of silage-the truck keeps the silage from blowing out the end of the tubes-this truck is very clean , runs great and is still earning it's keep. Some times there is a sign in the window when it's parked near the road="Not For Sale" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Only in southern California would you see this going down the road! Get a shovel man! Actually, I've seen a couple of similar services prowling the wealthier areas of MetroWest (the area of Rtes. 9 and 20 between roughly Boston and Worcester, Ma.,) I'll try to keep a camera in the car, and next time I see one of their cars going by, I'll make an effort to take a picture. With Rt. 9 being basically stopped from 6:30A.M.-6:30P.M., it shouldn't be too tough. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
