OXY in the Movies - Part 4

Pretty much everything in the screen cap from Pat and Mike (1952) below is the same as it is today.  The Johnson Student Center has been adapted and part of the new building is visible to the left in my photo above.  The biggest difference?   There are no 50's cars driving on the walk ways!

Old Car and Bougainvillea

Another great old car seen on the streets of Eagle Rock.  I bet there is a great story here.  Who is driving it?  How long have they owned it?  Is this owned by a collector or just someone driving the old family car?

Shiny Nose

This big old American hunk o' metal was sitting alone on a shady street,  just waiting to have it's picture taken!  I love the green paint job!

Suds

While at the Carwash I noticed the soapy water gathering under my car.  It was a familiar texture,  and after looking at the picture for a while I realized, it reminded me of the soft wrinkled skin on the back of my Grandfather Norton's weathered hands.  My Grandpa was a hero to me as a little kid, so experienced,    so knowledgeable,  the things those hands had built and done always intrigued me!   

Red, White and Cool American Classic

The Forth of July Weekend is celebrated across America in many different ways including BBQs, Fireworks, and Picnics. Another thing I notice around this time of year is Classic Car shows! Here is an Eagle Rock car, in appropriate colors for this weekend's festivities!

In Hiding?

I found this old limo hiding behind some bushes in a front yard. It seemed out of place yet vaguely familiar,  like a retired James Bond on a stake-out!

Old Tails

I used to live around the corner from these cars.  I never met the owners,  but I like their taste!
