It’s ’60s Black and White Photo Day!

Just for kicks, I thought I’d post some ’60s black and white photos that I rather like.

The first one is exactly how I picture my dream rec room (or, perhaps more accurately, “rumpus room”):

Very few men can pull off an exit from one of those teensy European three-wheeled cars. Cary Grant could:

I really love the lines of 1960s cars (my dream car is a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda):

And finally, this photo, which was originally titled “Why don’t you go make Bullitt some eggs?” Steve McQueen was the man.

  • At my uncle's second wedding, in 1980, his best man drove a Barracuda. Didn't get to ride in it but I did get to touch it.
    My dream car is a forest green 1967 mgb gt.

  • The car Cary Grant is getting out of is an Isetta, which actually has 4 wheels. The back pair of wheels are offset in from the front wheels, giving it the appearance of a 3 wheel car. With gas prices as they are now, a friend has taken his out of the garage for summer use. It generates lots of interest.

  • Did you know that in 1967 you could drive a Barracuda from Providence R.I. to Boston's Logan Airport in under 30 minutes? Great fun!
