Sepia photos of old cars

 These are not in chronological order.

Love this old photo "Where Horses Ride in Fords...Breckenridge, Texas. no date.

And not the same storm:

The Great Appalachian Storm - 1950 Nov 25

How many of you remember your first car?

BERJAYA

I'm guessing in Texas...what do you think?

Close to where I now live in Black Moutain. The station is still here. Some of the buildings across the street are too. Sadly, no more trains on these tracks.

Not Black Mountain, and probably quite a few years later. I'm guessing Swannanoa, where none of this looks like this any more.

You know the wagon and horses are still running at least.

I bet you can guess where this is...looks like 1950s. 


------------------------
I'm trying to limit my photos to 10 each posting, because I do tend to go on and on.
Cars through the 20th century are of high interest, as well as often being in sepia photos. So there are a lot more in my collection.

Sharing with Sepia Saturday.

I have more old car photos, so will continue with posting some next week as well.

Goddess?
Nope, taking a break.

But Walking for Peace should get a shout out!

I wondered what those badges were...apparently various law enforcement pins offered along the way.

Sorry to all who make comments. As of 8 am I cannot comment nor reply to your comments. Big brother is on blog, or perhaps just my choices are being monitored by some agency or another. Sorry. I will read what you say, definitely. And hope that I may be redeemed sometime soon!

I'm off for a CT scan of my lungs today. Wish me luck!

PS - That was easy peasy, and I'm now home listening to Buncombe County/Asheville preparedness information, but they are all taking off on the weekend, so only emergency.

Noon Friday:
UPDATE from Black Mountain, our ice storm is now expected around noon on Sat...so I've canceled my dentist appointment on Mon. If I lose power I'll go sit in my car as long as I can to keep warm there, but the nearest shelter may not be accessible due to ice, and I've heard it has only 50 beds available.
