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...
While on the hunt for photos of his first Buick Apollo, Joe Essid came across a photo he thought would be of interest to our carspotters. Captioned only with “MGM Grand Hotel, Nevada, Oct. 1980” by h...
While poking around for more on the Lakewood Center photo that appeared in a recent LA-centric carspotting post, we came across this one and had to believe we’d already used it; the colors and the pa...
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...
Thanks to reader Jack Shea, today’s carspotting comes rather close to the Hemmings backyard with a shot of Jumpin’ Jack’s Charcoal Pit and Twin-Freez in Scotia, about an hour away from Bennington. Lo...
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 ...
Why two shots of coffee shops at night in the Fifties in the Los Angeles area (and both from the same Tumblog, Those Old Cars )? If we’re to believe everything we see in movies – and, naturally, we w...
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...
Reader Larry Ulm recently sent us a couple of images – above and below – of what was possibly the Lincoln Highway’s most famous attraction in Pennsylvania: the Grand View Ship Hotel, situated about 1...
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...
Just up the road from yesterday’s shots in Swanton come this set of Northland Motors, a used car dealership and Esso station on Route 7 in St. Albans. They date to a month earlier than the Swanton ph...
Sure, the Vermont Landscape Change photo above, which dates to May 5, 1966, and depicts Kenneth and Irene Casey’s cattle farm sometime before Interstate 89 came through and apparently wiped it out, d...
Longtime reader and commenter Gene Herman found today’s carspotting photo over on the Old Images of Philadelphia Facebook page and with a little googling, we pegged the location as Market and Front S...
From Jeff at Vintage Las Vegas comes a very un-Vegaslike photo because, unless there’s some casino owner preparing an old right-hand-drive car themed resort, it ain’t from Vegas. Instead, Jeff noted ...
While narrowing down a location for one of last week’s Hartford carspotting scenes, we had help from a few other photos in the collection Joe Sokola provided us that showed some key overlap. For exam...
