Cubish

All of these photos lend themselves very well to the square format, especially the last one. The border also helps give them a sense of intrigue and mystery. There is no information on the back, so we must guess where we are. I'm going to assume somewhere in California.

Paradise, Hawaiian Style

I doubt these two ran into Elvis on their trip to the Aloha state, but I'm sure they had some fun. They look as if the three of them had just landed, with their suitcases by their sides. Off to find adventure of their own, we must leave them, for the rest of their trip has vanished into thin air

Off Roadin'

Some people forget just how rugged older cars were. They were built for a country that had very few roads and even fewer repair shops. Everything was made to be fixed with a ball of twine and a hammer. Even though vintage cars is one of my lifelong passions, I can never completely trust myself to id cars made before 1930, so any suggestions would be welcome. Whatever brand forged this one, it seems to be all decked out: it has a sun visor, a fog lamp and off road tyres. This photo was most likely taken in southern Alberta, perhaps near Drumheller.

Oh Canada

I just love these small Kodachrome prints. these ones were taken in september 1960. On the sing it says "Canadian royal mounted police". Based on the trees, this was probably taken in Ontario or British Colombia. I still haven't figured out exactly where.

Up, up and away

Some photos that you find you can figure out instantly. This one is one of them. The only question is why they took the photo. Was it for insurance, or just for proof. Who knows. I love vintage cars, but I can never get  truck names right. I believe this is a late 50's chevy or GMC, but any info would be nice. Thanks!

The first

Okay, so I couldn't resist putting up the first picture. This was one of the first pictures I got before I started seriously collecting. It came with one of my cars, but when I asked the former owner if he wanted it, he told me to keep it. This car is a VW karmann ghia, manufactured between 1955 and 1974. It was based on the VW type 1, or beetle platform. When I first saw this snapshot, I didn't even notice the cat, but when I did it made this image just a little more special.
