Going back through some old bookmarks, I see we never used these three photos from the Duke University Libraries for our carspotting series. At least two of them we can positively identify the locati...
How far back is fair game for carspotting images? The loose answer: Far back enough for the cars not to be on the road now, still recent enough to inspire some nostalgia for the cars depicted within....
Don’t know when the roundabout on Brattleboro’s north side – just off the Interstate 91 exit and near the bridge to New Hampshire – was built, but given that this set of photos that we found on Vermo...
True, we don’t do a lot of new car dealership photos in the carspotting series – not enough variety to keep the troops entertained – but used car dealerships are fair game, especially when they’re as...
Of all the Hartford photos in the collection Joe Sokola supplied us, we only found these three from the Forties. Above, the theater marquee shows two films released in July and September of 1945, and...
Admittedly, we only know for sure that the above photo comes from Scottsdale, specifically Fifth Avenue, and we only know for sure that the below photo dates to the 1960s, but both, which we came acr...
In an effort to get us “off the Hartford train,” reader Greg Beaulieu directed us toward Nova Scotia’s online photo archives, particularly the photos that depict downtown Barrington Street in the ear...
There’s some downtown revitalization planning going on here in Bennington lately, which probably doesn’t mean much to 99 percent of you, but nevertheless benefits 100 percent of you via these carspot...
From the various reviews online, the 1967 flick “Hot Rods to Hell” probably isn’t worth tracking down for the cinematic value, but it does at least offer some decent carspotting, as we see from the a...
We haven’t traveled to Europe much lately, so let’s fix that with today’s carspotting scene, which we came across over on the Gemeente Amsterdam Stadsarchief and which depicts the intersection of Haa...
While the Boston Public Library has these two Spencer Grant photos of Boston’s Central Artery dated to the mid-1970s, a quick scan shows that they’re at least from the following decade, which makes f...
Like many photos taken for EPA’s Documerica series, this one of South Charleston’s downtown area – specifically Seventh Street, looking east, which we came across on Jim and Chester’s Garage – uses a...
The location for all four of today’s carspotting photos: Hartford’s Main Street, conveniently given away by the presence of the Crown Theater, which we’ve seen before in the photos supplied to us by ...
Could’ve sworn we’ve already run this photo of Las Vegas’s Fremont Street, submitted to us by Facebook reader Nikos Kostopoulus, but it’s not coming up in the searches, so let’s use it to cap off thi...
Howard Arbiture, fed up with all the Vegas, Los Angeles, Vermont, Hartford, and New York photos we’ve been running in the carspotting series, decided we needed some Milwaukee sprinkled in there, so h...
Once more to Los Angeles, where, perhaps moreso than anyplace else in the world, the parade of people on the streets proves just as interesting as the parade of cars driving past. While we’ve always ...
Let’s continue our visit to New York with another couple photos from the Historic American Engineering Record’s documentation of the Bronx’s Third Street El, starting with the photo above of the Ford...
Thanks to Mark Peter Drolet on Tumblr, we came across this Jack Garofolo photo of Harlem in the 1970s, but tracking down the exact location proved a little more difficult. Florsheim Shoes and A.J. Le...
Let’s stay in St. Petersburg and in 1958 and with ElectroSpark’s found photos for today’s carspotting exercise, starting with the above image looking east on Central Avenue. Might it be December in t...
It’s been a few years, but we did mention Webb’s City in St. Petersburg once before, and today we’re going to carspot the carspotter, perched above the cars in the Webb’s City parking lot in search o...
Thanks to Jim and Chester’s Garage, we’ve got a pair of carspotting photos showing downtown Charleston, West Virginny, and its bustling Capitol Street. We’ve even got a date – 1973 – which gives us a...
While we’d seen this photo floating around the Tumblrverse, it seems to have first appeared on The Old Motor, where David Greenlees noted that it’s one of a series of John F. Bromley photos of the ci...
Over on Facebook, Graham Graham copied us on this neat street scene from Orange, New South Wales, which he dated to either April or May of 1974. The street sign in the foreground pointed us to the cu...
Coulda sworn we had another Alaska carspotting picture to go with yesterday’s submitted photo of Anchorage, but apparently not. So instead, let’s travel to the other non-contiguous U.S. state today w...
Reader Paul Nielsen sent us today’s carspotting photo, scanned from a slide that his father, Merrill, took in either 1961 or 1962 while he was working in Alaska. “It’s of Fourth Avenue in downtown An...
