I did a triple-take when I saw this, wasn't expecting to see Dayton up here. I know exactly where this is. I think I rode that bus too, a long time ago.

I'm impressed you can tell that's a specific location in Dayton from a fire hydrant, some trees, and no more than 40ft of road!

Posted

The trolley lines being in that location solidified it for me -- they end right around that area and loop around the block at the end of the bus route right outside of Kettering.

 

I mean, I could be wrong, but I'm 99% sure I'm not.

 

Edit: a quick look at the filename of the image tells me I'm right, I didn't think to look at that before. :lol:

I was wondering when you were going to notice that. ha

 

Funnier yet, I am fairly certain that GP was owned by my mom's co-worker's roommate. He lived in that area.

those rims are nearly the same exact design as those turbine wheels ive seen on the 90 toronado trofeo's

 

might be an early aurora?

The shape, taillight design, squared off wheel wells, and the crease that runs along the side just above the wheel wells makes me think Monte Carlo.

 

Found this on Pinterest. "1994 Chevrolet Monte Carlo | Full-size clay model with the studio team"

95 monte carlo design mule. surprisingly, a lot of it made it to production in various forms.

It isn't vintage BUT it recreates a vintage scene with a Regal. From the movie "Joy".

I thought it was pretty obvious it was a Monte concept :thinking: at any rate it's neat

The Regal looks so modern around all those other 80s cars. :lol:

Reminds me of why I was such a fan of W-body styling back in the day.

Love all of the assembly line and dealership pics, awesome!  Thanks for posting.  The one with the Regal and both doors open looks like a Gran Sport with the bucket seats in the rear thru the back glass.

I love that dealership photo. If anyone can find one with the 89 Buicks I would love to see the regals from the same year

Posted

Awesome photos, seeing dealership lots full of 1st Gen W's from back then makes my pants tight for some reason. 

 

Where'd you find these shots Jay?

Posted

Walter White seems confused by that seatbelt.

I laugh a little every time I see a picture of the seat belts buckled in with the doors open like that. I don't think many people made use of this "feature."
