I'm sure some of you have seen the post on the HAMB about the archived Life magazine pics.....You can really get lost finding some great pics from the mid 40's to 80s.

The site....do various searches....

Here's one from 1958....Bakersfield tech school students working on their cars.....

Is that a HEMI in the duece???

One more....

Quote from Life - "Teenaged boys, who are junior members of the Molesters Club (as indicated by large "M"s sewn on the seats of their pants) leaning into the engine area of Richard Burns' 1927 Ford Model T jalopy named "Tooty"."

Do the Suedes make "Junior members" wear crowns on their rear ends?  :lol:

I like the one where the guy lays on his back looks out the plexiglas nose of the streamliner. One way to keep your head in a rollover!

I got mine too. There was a thread on the HAMB saying that this issue was weak but I thought it was GREAT as usual.
