Amazing pictures, thank you for sharing this!

I’m almost tempted to order copies of some, you just don’t find scenes like this anymore.

And.. all the white lab coats and uniforms the mechanics wore – what were they thinking?

It is difficult to find old time pictures. I have ordered a couple and look forward to receiving them. The site has pics of many subjects.

IMO, those uniforms remind of a time when all occupations were looked upon as something to be proud of.
