Studes in Roadside Americana photos

#8967 is obviously not a period picture. For some reason the younger crowd that tries to duplicate the old pinup shots just can't get it right.....even if you can't see the tattoos.

This is interesting in that I have never seen an actual rule and date for pictures posted here. I assume we want things that are older, but is there a rule as to how old they have to be? This is not meant to be a criticism of "52-fan" since this has been mentioned by other folks in the past. I just am looking for some guidance as how new is too new.

HEY!...As long as it's COOL...WHO CARES!

No rule. The title suggests Studebakers as they were actually seen on the road "back in the day", but leaves room for interpretation. Posting a more modern picture is no worse than posting the same pictures over and over. Which happens a lot.
My comment was really about the lame attempt to mimic the old style. The younger crowd, and maybe the photographer, just doesn't get it. More lewd than lovely. Just compare #8967 to #8968.
Just my opinion and no more important than anyone else.

Hey Joe, at least for this post, the old problem has returned. All I have is an icon with a bold red X and no picture.

I like the mock period picture in #8967 well enough, but it is easy to tell its not "real":

-Customized front end on the '50 that does not look like something from the 50s.
-Obvious wider radial tires
-Leg tattoos on the girl sitting on the right

That said, they DID go the extra mile to make the picture yellowed looking! Something I've been working to UNDO on genuine vintage family photos, ha.

Thanks for the comment. Since the picture did not show up for you, how did you get it to show up in your reply? Again, i do no know what is happening as when I post these pictures they show up. Even when I got to edit they show up. Any suggestions?

It is interesting, and to add to the mystery, it does not show up on my computer in the reply (where I quoted your post) either. And, as we know, often "mystery" is a result of the lack of an "educated" explanation. There must be some setting between the computer language of our systems that blocks the pic from transmitting. My provider is AT&T Uverse, and my browser is firefox. It could be that, if you are a registered member of the source you are copying the pictures from, it will allow only registered fellow members to open the pics.

Bottom line is, I'm ignorant of the reason, and assumed that because I couldn't see the pics, no one else could either. Apparently, that is not the case. So, if you are copying the pics from a forum that you are a member of, it would be useful to know if other "members" of the same site can see the pics and non-members can't.

I get the same red X on the same ones John does. My OCD doesn't like me missing some!

I'm getting the red "X's" too, both in jroberts original posts and also in jclary's quote of the original post. I wonder if it is a Firefox (which I also use) problem? (Nope. Just tried it with MS Edge and I get the red "X's" there, too.)
