Thank you all for your many contributions.
Not only do I love seeing the old trains, but the old cars as well.

agree.add my thanks and appreciation to flynn and others who take the time to scour the archives, even the public domains we all have access to, and add narrative and re crop some shots for detail. never cared for history in school but here it is presented in a colorful and interesting format that am always looking for such posts. please keep it up........

Here are some older vehicles for you. Central Avenue (US66), Albuquerque, NM, Sept 5, 1953

And not only vehicles, SIGNS! Back when people weren't embarassed or afraid to advertize their businesses, and even do so at night, with lighted (neon) signs. Even something as simple as a cafe could have a fairly impressive sign, that didn't look exactly like the sign on the store next door, and every other store down the street.
