The Old Motor recently dug up this Leslie Jones/Boston Public Library photo of the Rockingham Park parking lot, so no fair peeking at their comments before looking through the cars parked here to try...
The collection of Hartford photos that Joe Sokola provided us included a few from New York City, and given the lack of additional context, we have to assume that our regular Hartford photographer too...
While researching the origin of the postcard photo that Jim and Chester’s Garage posted above (Newfound Gap right on the Tennessee-North Carolina border just off Route 441 ), we came across plenty mo...
The first two of today’s carspotting scenes from Seventies Bologna come from Impounded and appear to have been scanned from postcards, but the resolution is still good enough for identifying the vari...
While we’re going through old Charles Cushman pictures, let’s drop this one from April 1968, taken on the corner of North Point Street and Broderick in San Francisco. We don’t see vintage constructio...
Also while clearing out old bookmarks, we came across a few Charles W. Cushman photos we haven’t yet used in our carspotting series, including these two from Colorado Springs. Above, we see the Antle...
All those parking lot shots we run in this carspotting series with the cars so packed in tight you wonder how they get out the ones in the middle? This photo we came across on the University at Texas...
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...
The most commonly circulated Publix grocery store photos circulating on the Internet show its art deco-ish facades and many-colored Fifties cars in the parking lot, something like this Sarasota shot ...
One more from Tom Simpson’s Disneyland opening series on Flickr – we considered combining it with yesterday’s shot from the lot, but considering the volume of cars here, it almost seemed like too muc...
Plenty of places have called themselves a Disneyland for car guys, but apparently the real Disneyland for car guys was at Disneyland itself way back on its grand opening in 1955 – that is, right outs...
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...
Parade, maybe? Whatever captivated the attention of the folks in the background of this photo, which we found on Ross Dunn’s Flickrstream, it didn’t work so well on the photographer, who managed to t...
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...
Man, ever since the Romulans started showing up, these carspotting photos started to get real difficult. Let’s press on regardless, though, with a pair of parking lot shots, above from photographer T...
From Alden Jewell comes perhaps the most jam-packed carspotting image we’ve had in a while, one sure to keep y’all busy for days to come, and one that we’re pretty sure we haven’t previously run. The...
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...
Whoever it was that recently sent me an archive page dedicated to Esso gas stations in Norway – because we get submissions like that all the time! – thank you. Several of the photos on that page make...
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’re sure it’s no coincidence that Vintage Las Vegas posted two collections including shots of the Silver Slipper Saloon in quick succession recently, and as it just so happens both feature a decent...
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...
