Throw Back Thursday

[Pappy]

1956. Me and mom. Home on leave from Fort Dix, NJ. Taken on the old homestead built by my Great Grandfather in 1900.

Spent a week in the field in November that year. Froze our arses off.

Gee, haven't I seen those words "throw back" somewhere else..........like AMC on Thursdays when they show the older movies. Now we are using it on here. Cool!

Nice pic Pappy. A well-built house your G grand pappy made.

(I had a trench coat just like that. Zip out lining, RIGHT?)

Popular on Facebook too. Hope other folks post some of their old pictures.

[Pappy]

I was in uniform at the same time when we saved our country from hordes of commies just trying get here to ravish and pillage...

Love your throw back Thursday pictures Pappy, and all you old photos, thanks so much for sharing them with us! :love_heart: Here's your picture, may be a bit better...

 

[Pappy]

Thanks, SB. It's a little better. Why it is not to clear is that I took the pic in a glass frame and you can see the reflection of me.

 

[SeaBreeze]

I know, I've done the vary same thing with glass. Hard not to get your reflection in there, regardless of the angle.

My throwback today is the Colonia theater where I worked as an usher for about a year or so. The little store, Fish Bowl, was a jewelry store where I bought my wife's wedding rings. Fishmans dept. store was across the street. The little store, to the right, was a little coffee shop.

For all of you old Ford lovers here is a picture of a fully restored hardtop. Not being a Ford person, I am unsure of the year. Maybe a 1960.

 

[Pappy]

Love it, oldman. Here's the only pic I have of my 46 Ford.

 

[oldman]

That would make a great street rod today.

 

[Ralphy1]

A friend of mine had one in the day with skirts, dual pipes, and Hollywood mufflers...

 

[Pappy]

Yep, another Thursday.

 

[Pappy]

Me, my first born and 56 Oldsmobile.

 

[SeaBreeze]

Great old photo Pappy! :love_heart: Here's a 1936 automobile assembly line, back when cars were quality.

 

[Pappy]

That was neat, SB. And did you notice the hundreds of workers that were employed? Nowadays it's computers and robots. Very few workers.

Hubby and I on our first outing together (~1961) with his pride and joy, a black Morris Minor soft top convertible. It's name was Rosie.

Wow! Never saw one before. Good looking.
