We love it when we get carspotting submissions from our readers, and we really love it when our readers send us an entire series of carspotting photos because we can stretch that submission out over ...
We probably should’ve run these closer to this year’s 100th running of the Indy 500, but today’s close enough. From Jim and Chester’s Garage come these two photos of a parking lot at the 1965 Indiana...
Over on our Facebook page, reader Larry Gaddis sent along today’s carspotting photo depicting Sherwood Plaza in Gainesville, Georgia. Larry initially thought perhaps the photo could date to the Seven...

Pair of Singapore photos today from the Flickr stream of Fotorus, who visited the island city-state in April of 1972. Above, we see Collyer Quay, which is hardly recognizable today, and below we see ...

Not sure exactly where Porshce’s ad agency at the time shot this photo for an ad for the 911, so if anybody recognizes the bridge the Neun-Elf is on, let us know. In the meantime, there’s plenty of E...
