I keep pestering my Dad to scan all of his old letters and car-related photos. He owned a few 356s and Cobras back in the '60s. I need to get a scan of his letter from Enzo talking about my Dad's Cobra- along with photos of the Cobra at the Ferrari factory. Here's what I've got at the moment:
His BRG 289 in California.
His dark blue metallic 289 in Italy
Blue one in Northern California
His 356 somewhere in California
In the same area, IIRC
Me and my Mom in my Father's BRG '37 MG TF
Our '69 K5 in the Cascade Range in Oregon.

Everything here is terrific, but special danke schoens for the v. nice pictures of Zephyrs. They're so pretty, and so under-celebrated. Landmark automobiles.
Do you enjoy old cars and long-winded stories about them? If your answer is "yes", then you might enjoy my blogpage. Try it here: http://vwlarry.blogspot.com . Leave a comment, too; I love feedback! Thanx for reading.

This thread is the reason why I take random photographs of parking lots and car dealers on occasion. My wife thinks I'm really weird - but I have to just show her this to explain why.
Great stuff.

I picked up a Kodak 35 RF rangefinder camera from 1946 a few months ago and just ran my first roll of film (1940s-style Tri-X 400) through it this last weekend, so I should have the prints before next week.
The subject matter: The 1915 Ridge Route over Tejon Pass between Los Angeles and Bakersfield, the 1933 Ridge Route Alternate in Piru Gorge just south of Pyramid Lake (check out pages 10 and 11 of the "Old Roads" thread listed in my sig for more information plus modern-day photos on those), and the (still operating) circa 1950s soda fountain that I work at in South Pasadena.
So, not exactly vintage photos, but vintage subject matter shot on vintage-style film with a vintage camera — I'll post them up once I've got scans.
