I wonder what cars shall look like in another 50 or 100 years? Driverless? Flying? Or something unimagined?
You have some great photos there. They remind me of the film Bonny & Clyde
ReplyDeleteWhat great family photos with cars. And some of them were really very nice!
ReplyDeleteOne can see they took pride in their cars! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat family photographs showing the fashions of the time.
ReplyDeleteI like that last photo too. We didn't have all that stuff in our cars 40 years ago. The old car we're now driving doesn't have gps even now.
ReplyDeleteA shame your GGGrandmother not surviving a vehicle accident. That's sometimes the trouble with automobiles. You have some really neat pix here, though, of family and their cars. A futuristic look at vehicles I saw not too long ago was of streets and highways made of solar panels and cars deriving their power from them - as did homes along those streets and highways for electricity. Could be - but a ways, yet, in the future I think. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've put together s wonderful collection of family car snaps. It's interesting to see how most of them have a design closer to horse-drawn carriages than even cars from the 1930s. My favorite is the street scene with the poor horse standing in the pouring rain. Traveling in cars without windows must have required always wearing sensible clothes for the weather.
ReplyDeleteGreat car photos, especially that last one. I think perhaps your gran may have disliked the bathing suit in the first photo, rather than the car :-)
