VINTAGE EVERYDAY BRING BACK SOME GOOD OR BAD MEMORIES ADVERTISEMENT DECEMBER 24, 2023 VINTAGE COCA-COLA CHRISTMAS ADS FEATURING SANTA CLAUS December 24, 2023 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, ads, Christmas, drink & food, Santa Claus History has offered many representations of Father Christmas, who has appeared in a range of clothing and colors over time. Perhaps the most famous portrayal, however, is that of Saint Nicholas of Myra, a 4th Century bishop depicted in familiar red robes. The popular myth that Father Christmas owes his appearance to Coca-Cola – the portly stature, bushy beard and red outfit – is not entirely accurate. Rather, the Santa Claus image you recognize today was the image portrayed by Haddon Sundblom for Santa’s first appearance in Cola advertising in 1931, drawing inspiration from Saint Nicholas’ image. Indeed, of the many contemporary portrayals of Father Christmas, Coca-Cola conveniently selected – as opposed to invented – the image we know today.

At the turn of the century many colleges were still isolated from major cities and students had to find a place to stay, be it a boarding house or with a relative. For many, on campus dormitories just made sense. The people in the photo appear older, likely due to their hairstyles and clothing. Sunscreen had not yet been invented, and smoking was still fashionable despite its link to lung cancer. Physical affection between men was common in portraits, and the two men in the photo may have been expressing camaraderie rather than romantic feelings. The spoons on the wall remain a mystery, possibly connected to musical activities. Ad VINTAGE FOUND PHOTOS OF ’40S YOUNG WOMEN IN SHORTS December 23, 2023 1940s, fashion & clothing, female, life & culture, portraits Shorts were not a new item in women’s 1940s wardrobes, but they weren’t very common. The 1930s style short had a high waist with wide waistband and pleated legs, giving it the look of a tennis skirt/skort. This continued to be the trend in the early 1940s for women gradually slimming the leg and bringing up the hemline. 1940s shorts were made of medium blue denim, navy blue denim, corduroy in tan or navy, and rayon or cotton in green, white or sky blue. While shorts with a print or pattern were less common, they did exist, especially in the later years. Vertical stripes were popular, too. Usually, patterned shorts came with a matching top for a playsuit look. Denim shorts often had a cuff hem and leg press just like denim trousers. As the decade moved away from the war, shorts lost the skirt-like pleating and took on the short trouser look with slit pockets on the side. Some shorts mimicked little boys’ and girls’ styles with a small flap coin pocket on the front. Others had a simple elastic waistband, making them look like men’s underwear (worn as gym shorts). These vintage photos were found by Steven Martin that show young women wearing shorts in the 1940s. See more» Ad PUBLICITY PHOTOS OF LILLIAN GISH AND DOROTHY GISH IN THE SILENT FILM “ORPHANS OF THE STORM” (1921) December 23, 2023 1920s, celebrity & famous people, movies, photography, portraits Orphans of the Storm is a 1921 American silent drama film by D. W. Griffith set in late-18th-century France, before and during the French Revolution. The last Griffith film to feature both Lillian and Dorothy Gish, it was a commercial failure compared to his earlier works, such as The Birth of a Nation (1915), Broken Blossoms (1919) and Way Down East (1920). D.W. Griffith was a racist, and his most famous and infamous film, the 1915 Birth of a Nation, is filled with made-up events and setups that glorified the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacy in general. It’s also an astonishingly effective and affecting piece of filmmaking, revolutionary in its complex staging, in the way it propelled cinema toward greater realism, in its use of techniques like the close-up and the fade-in (which Griffith didn’t necessarily invent but used brilliantly). Isn’t it better to be realistic about the truth that filmmaking’s power can be marshaled for causes other than noble ones? By 1921, Griffith’s star had begun its descent, as other filmmakers—many of whom he’d influenced—raced faster into the modern world. But Orphans of the Storm, once you get past its wacky, sentimental patriotism, may be his last gasp of greatness, showing the delicacy of feeling he could bring to even the most extreme melodrama. Sisters Lillian and Dorothy Gish play Henriette and Louise, young women raised together in late 18th century France as revolution brews. Louise is the daughter of a noblewoman, left as an infant on the steps of a church on a cold winter day. An impoverished local, having mournfully decided to drop his own offspring there, thinks better of it and takes both babies home with him. The girls grow up; their loving parents die; Louise is blinded by the plague. Henriette brings her to Paris, hoping for a treatment that will restore her sight. All of this happens—coincidentally—just as Robespierre and Danton are changing the face of France. It’s easy enough to get swept up in the film’s crazy, epic rush, but the Gishes are the main attraction, reaching toward one another in the midst of an anguishing separation, or embracing after finding one another again. Lillian, especially, even with her gently fluttering eyelids, her delicate rosebud mouth, is a defiantly resolute presence. You wouldn’t want to mess with her. She outlived silents for a reason.

Initiated in the 1930s by Pierre-Jules Boulanger, this car aimed to provide both comfort on rough roads and stability at high speeds. It set new standards in ride quality that few could match for years. In 1965, a new engine replaced the original, and further innovations included swiveling headlights, fuel injection, and a five-speed gearbox. The DS range included simplified models like the ID, a spacious Safari estate, and the two-door Décapotable convertible, crafted by Henri Chapron. Chapron initially produced convertibles independently and later collaborated with Citroën. Citroën’s own cabriolets were built on the sturdy ID Break chassis. Technical advancements mirrored those of the saloon. Convertible production ceased in 1971, with 1,365 factory convertibles made with either the DS19 or DS21 engine between 1960 and 1971. Here below is a set of beautiful photos of 1972 Citroën DS21 IE Décapotable. See more» Ad CUSTOM LIMO FOR THE PRESIDENT: 7 STRANGE FACTS ABOUT JOHN F. KENNEDY’S 1961 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL LIMOUSINE December 23, 2023 1960s, event & history, facts, vehicles Customization wasn’t just replacing the interior or adding additional space and seating. It went way beyond the basics of what we know as a limousine. This limo had t-tops! Not in the general sense of sports car t-tops, but it had removable steel and transparent plastic roof panels that were referred to as a bubble top. It had a hydraulic rear seat that could be raised almost 12 inches to elevate the president. Retractable steps were added on for the convenience of the secret service agents tasked with walking next to the vehicle, as well as grab handles and two steps on the back bumper for additional agents. It also provided auxiliary jump seats for additional passengers, two radio telephones, and of course, hand embroidered Presidential Seals in each of the door pockets. This June 1961 photo provided by the Ford Motor Co. shows President. John F. Kennedy's Lincoln Continental limousine. On Nov. 22, Dallas will again be remembered as the place where John F. Kennedy was shot in 1963. Our images of him that day are forever locked with his limousine: A modified 1961 Lincoln Continental four-door convertible. Its low-slung, angular lines and rear-hinged “suicide” doors were a bold design that personified Kennedy's fresh appeal. The press later dubbed the vehicle the “death car.” 1. The Lincoln was leased, but received six-figure upgrades from the White House. The car, a joint venture between Ford and partner Hess & Eisenhardt, is shown here being delivered to an unknown destination with sections of its removable bubble roof panels laid out behind it. The panels can stack into the trunk of the car. The car was fashioned from a stock 1961 Lincoln Continental four-door convertible — retail price $7,347 — that had rolled off the assembly line at parent company Ford’s plant in Wixom, Mich. The White House leased it from Ford for a token $500 a year and sent it off for $200,000 in modifications by elite custom coachbuilder Hess and Eisenhardt in Cincinnati, Ohio. (The firm’s other high-profile clients included the Queen of England.) In the process, the car gained Secret Service codenames — SS-100-X and X-100 — and the grille of a 1962 model, so it appeared right up- to-date. 2. The limo was stretched and loaded up with unusual features. President John F. Kennedy (back left), Jacqueline Kennedy (back right), begin the motorcade from Love Field to downtown Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. Texas Gov. John Connally is waving. The car had a six-piece roof system composed mostly of clear plastic panels that were stowed in the trunk and a rear seat that could be hydraulically raised more than 10 inches for better visibility of its occupants. There were two radio telephones, akin to walkie-talkies or CB radios rigged to telephone handsets. The car's most notable extra was its length, 3 1/2 feet of it, gained by cutting it in half and extending the rear passenger compartment to create more room and to fit a middle row of forward-facing jump seats that fold away when not in use. 3. The “bubble top” would not have helped Kennedy that day in Dallas. The limo carrying a mortally wounded Kennedy races toward Parkland Hospital seconds after he was shot in Dallas. Would the plastic bubble top have made a difference that day if used? Gary Mack, the late curator of Dallas’ Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, said no, it wasn’t bulletproof. In fact, there was no protective armor on the vehicle. Mack says that for all of the car's upgraded features, it served mostly as an “expensive, fancy limousine.” 4. After the Kennedy assassination, the limo was hastily put back into service. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in this car on November 22, 1963. The midnight blue, un-armored convertible was rebuilt with a permanent roof, titanium armor plating, and more somber black paint. The limousine returned to the White House and remained in service until 1977. The modified car shows the fundamental ways in which presidential security changed after Kennedy’s death. Kennedy’s Lincoln, sensationally dubbed the “Death Car” in a 1964 Associated Press story, was hastily rebuilt after the assassination. Project name? The Quick Fix. The logic was straightforward, according to The Henry Ford museum’s curator of transportation Matt Anderson. “It takes four years or so to get one of these done, from the original planning to its delivery to the White House. They simply didn’t have the time to build a new car. The president [Lyndon B. Johnson] needed a limousine; this was the simplest, most effective way to do it.” 5. The rebuilt Kennedy limo was considerably fortified at the cost of nearly half a million. The 1961 Lincoln limousine (code name: X-100) that John F. Kennedy was assassinated in on a trip to Dallas was sent back to Ford and partner Hess & Eisenhardt to rebuild and improve its safety and design. The project started around December 1963 and was dubbed the “Quick Fix.” The high-tech — for the time — features include two radiophones, a dial telephone, an AM-FM radio, a public-address system, an electronic siren and remote-control door locks. The car gained 17% more power with a new hand-built, high-compression V-8 engine. And with all of the added weight — the car now tips the scale at 9,800 pounds, up from 7,822 — the team installed “the largest passenger-car air-conditioning unit ever built.” The ventilation system filled the trunk and was capable of producing 3 cubic tons of conditioned air, which was “sufficient for an average house.” The final price tag for project Quick Fix was an estimated $500,000. The car went through extensive road testing and was delivered to the White House and LBJ’s fleet in late spring of 1964. 6. The limo stayed in service longer than you would expect and you can still view it today. Kennedy’s 1961 Lincoln Continental in the Henry Ford Museum. Improbably, the car stayed in service through President Richard Nixon’s administration and into 1977, Jimmy Carter’s administration’s first year. It was retired late that year and returned to Ford. The automaker donated it to The Henry Ford Museum, where Anderson says it remains one of the museum’s most popular exhibits. On Nov. 22 each year, some people leave flowers near the car. 7. JFK’s limo remains part of assassination conspiracy lore. According to the late Sixth Floor Museum curator Gary Mack, while the car was parked outside Parkland Hospital that fateful day, something strange happened. There were odd reports by some hospital staff of a man in a suit inside the emergency area who asked for a bucket of water and some towels. “And the implication was that they were going to clean out the car — clean out the crime scene,” he said. The mysterious man was never identified, but Mack says “a bucket was photographed at the left rear door of the limo before being carried toward the emergency entrance.” And yet, photographs of the car’s backseat taken by the FBI after the car was flown back to Washington, DC revealed it does not appear to have been cleaned. Perhaps only the driver’s area was wiped down? Mack points out one more remaining mystery connected with the car: the radio transmissions. Each vehicle in the motorcade that day was patched into a radio network, and he said the Secret Service was monitoring the chatter from a room at the Adolphus Hotel. The transmissions were being fed to Air Force One and, presumably, the White House Communications Agency. “Where are the tapes? No one knows,” Mack says. “The tapes could be important if, as one of the agents in the limo confirmed, he was on his radiotelephone during some of the assassination and his microphone could have picked up the sounds of the shots.” (via The Dallas Morning News) Ad DECEMBER 22, 2023 CAR GWYLLT: QUARRYMEN IN NORTH WALES USED TO HURTLE DOWN A MOUNTAIN ON A HOMEMADE TOBOGGAN THINGY December 22, 2023 1920s, 1930s, event & history, inventions, life & culture, male, traffic & transport, Wales The car gwyllt (wild car) – it’s not a Mustang nor a Ferrari, but a skimpy piece of wood mounted on a wheel and a rod of iron racing 50mph down a Welsh mountain. The car gwyllt was invented around 1870 by the quarry blacksmith, Edward Ellis. In later years they were made by Edward Jones, an independent smith living on Manod Road, who charged 5 shillings. Each quarryman had their own car and so an early purchase with a new starter’s tal mawr would be a new car gwyllt. When they got to the bottom they would chuck their cart into a wagon which would be transported back to the top of the mountain each day. Their construction was a wooden plank, around two feet long. It rode on a single double-flanged wheel, with a V-shaped iron slipper on the rear of the plank. It was balanced by an iron outrigger to one side, with a pipe-shaped roller over its end. This wide roller also allowed for slight variations in gauge. To control the car there was a hand brake. Pulling upwards on this applied an iron brake to the tread of the wheel. Despite the simplicity of the idea, the cars were not unsophisticated in their manufacture. Most was made by the smith, but the cast wheel was made by a foundry in Porthmadog. The brake linkage comprised several pieces, each hand-forged. The brake handle was detachable and fitted over the main lever. It was decoratively forged with a lightweight curve. When not in use it was carried in the quarryman’s pocket, a primitive form of anti-theft measure. The carts lived up to their wild name with regular accidents, broken bones and even deaths. If you didn’t use any kind of braking, you were in serious risk of knacking yourself. The wild cars were used up until the quarry shut in the 1940s.
