I hate it when you’re trying to get info about an image, and all you can find are sites selling prints of it, giving no info except “ancient painting.”
Looking at the haze under the front, I’m thinking that this is a snow removing vehicle. Looks to be on a tram track, so would be clearing the tracks for the trams. I guess the poor bugger driving either drew the short straw, or has pi$$ed off his boss once too often….. 😉
I remember when all those colors looked new and fresh… Different from the more modest, pastel or dark colors of the 50s and 60s.
Don’t forget the little red convertibles, and the orange GTOs with black racing stripes…
Then in the late 80s, early 90s, I was commuting 35 miles south to my job in a much more upscale area, and I would notice… one year all the new cars were school bus yellow. Then we had a couple of years where they were all brick red, mostly jeeps and SUVs (rich guys who live in a wealthy suburb and work in San Francisco MUST have 4 wheel drive for their commute).
Then one year they were all silver, another year, pale gold or metallic champagne…
In 1995 my MIL bought a new pale gold Lexus that looked like all the cars on the road.
Today’s car colors are so boring. And in the early morning fog or on rainy wet overcast days, the cars are the same color as the pavement.
My car is a metallic blue, but still has no “punch” to it. I miss the bright colors. I always wanted forest green or a shocking orange. Did have one that was fire engine red once.
Barbara Rush, Frank Sinatra, Jill St. John, and Lee J. Cobb at the premiere of Come Blow Your Horn, 1963.
I don’t know about the small hands but….
Ms. Rush’s daughter, Claudia Cowan, was born in July, 1963, so she may well have been very pregnant in this picture. It happens. You can’t always look not pregnant if you get pregnant.
Early 1960s maternity clothes were only slightly less hideous than the pleats and bows of 1950s ones.
If you’re talking about Ms. St. John… AFAIK she wasn’t pregnant till a few years later, but I didn’t think you meant her.
Heh. Played through college, some later stuff too. But pretty much haven’t played in over 30 years. But I was at a second hand store the other day, and they had a bugle there. Had to try. Got three distinct notes out of it, but it wasn’t pretty!

I can’t <3 this enough.
Show-off!!
You don’t have to rub it in!

Looks like a serious cavity in that tooth!
A little duct tape and Super Glue and it’ll be good as new.
This is why I can’t be a demolition worker… I’d cry if I had to knock down beautiful buildings.
Well, there are other reasons, too… Probably muscles and trucks and all that other stuff… but crying wouldn’t help.
This was taken in 2005 during the demolition of the Trinity Methodist Church in Portsmouth, Ohio, which had held its first services in 1908.
That info comes from lots of websites and Facebook pages and such… but I didn’t find even one that said why it was demolished.
Forgot to post….
The church before demolition….
Yeah, that’s ugly enough to want it torn down, isn’t it? (But there’s a beautiful Walmart about to be put up in it’s place…) /S
NYC 1912
Fifth Avenue, BTW… Looking north from 42nd Street.
The most fashionable spot to see or be seen.

What an ass!
Damn kids!!!
Oh!!
I put likes on the comments above, in agreement with the idea that we were looking at a disruptive jerk in action….
“Ban speedboats from the Grand Canal !!”, shaking my cane at the intruder…
But then…. I…um…. searched it…
And discovered …. you see…..that the yellow boat is actually a … an official Venice ambulance.
Saving lives and stuff.
Um… oopsie.
Then i revise my comment to, nice driving!

I’m watching The Mars Guy on YouTube and there is lots of better photos than that available. Right now, almost daily.

Great historical picture though.

They never went back to bright.
My Ford Ranger is Sabre Orange, I can spot it in a car park quite easily 🙂

My 2017 Prius V (the station wagon) is a fire engine red.

That must pose some unique and thorny questions in the building design and architecture stage.
Yeah, it did cause some changes in those fields when they decided to swivel Filbert Street to a flat orientation.
But it’s the other side of that (former) hill that has the real problems.
The side that used to go downhill, but now it folds under a bit, so the cars have to drive vertically, or even upside down.

What a flattering dress! How many months is she?
(And why such a tiny hand?)
That’s what i was thinking.
Only seeing fingers to the knuckle.
And the little finger is behind the guy’s jacket.
The guy on the right
You’re I guess â…“ correct.
Pretty good cos I didn’t recognize him at all in this picture.

Cherry Pink was the first (possibly the only ) song I learned to play “well” on the trumpet! got that slur down well!

Interesting.
Thanks.
He does good stuff. Worth following.
