I just thought if I love these old cars as much as I do, then you all might enjoy them also. I don’t know a lot about trains, but some of you might enjoy seeing them also.

Enjoy and remember,

David



in some of the pictures there is a set of numbers …like 2-8-0 that stands for the wheels…2 front small wheels then 8 big drive wheels..

then the number of small back wheels…on the engine:



For all you train lovers.

recreating a scene from the good old days.

Steaming down memory lane isPere Marquette 1225Owosso, Michigan

Southern 2-8-0 #610 at Rock Spring , Georgia ( Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum ..)

Heber City , Utah . Union Pacific 2-8-0 #618 and a 1953 Buick Super.This has to be the classic of classic photos!It defies time itself. When I saw this photo, I was transported back to those wonderful days when life was full of simple pleasures, back when we were satisfied with less and happy to walk instead of ride.This is February 6, 2007 when time and eternity intersect at this crossing. And to think that you and I, and others, once had a stage like this everyday for the greatest performance ever. Oh what the  generation of today has missed. Great Memories!

CARS WE WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN



Harley Earl and the 1938 Buick.. Think about this.  This picture was taken 70 years ago.

1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt


1951 Buick LeSabre What would you give for this car now


1951 Chrysler K310


1953 Buick Wildcat


  1954 Dodge   FireArrow


1958 Lincoln Premiere


1955 Nash Rambler Cross Country Wagon


1956 Ford Sunliner


  1959 Chevrolet Brookwood Stationwagon

  1951 Hudson Hornet


1959 Plymouth Fury

1958 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser - The rear window on the 58 Merc Turnpike Cruiser could retract into the body, giving the occupants flow-through ventilation. This car, like most of its generation, didn't have air-conditioning, even as an option.


1951 Studebaker Champion


1971 Buick Rivera Boattail


1958 Edsel Convertible

One would sit on the porch and name the cars as they drove by. . .unlike today . .. when they all look the same.

This is when a car was a car.....
