Ramona High School Auto Shop car show and open house

 I've never seen a Duster, Chevelle, and Nova lined up like this before, never seen that the tail section has nearly the same profile design

Pretty cool to have a Car Of The Year magazine on the dash of your car, that won the comparison for it's year.


Just above the magazine is a 3 outlet air duct mounted to the dash... very well done!

 Great upholstery

Snap On gives students half off? Wow... gotta find a student to bribe into purchasing for me if I ever get rich enough to afford Snap On tools at 50% of normal rates

Some copper trim on this buick makes it stand out in the car show... very impressive interior even eclipses the exterior

 wow. That is really damn nice

that is one really long trunk!

the 1920s photos from fuckyeah1920s.tumblr have such a wide variety, from celebrities as Laurel and Hardy, Harold Llyod, Buster Keaton, and Babe Ruth, to kids with pedal cars (it's like Shorpy!)

The wonderful Laurel and Hardy

League against indecent bathers.... really. Some people had nothing bettter to do than interrupt total strangers enjoying a swim.
