Great Photo... think that will be a mission of mine; make sure most of my photos tell stories. Now-a-days it's all about RAW files and Photoshop. CS5
It often happens to me... great car, great shot expect for that one annoying telephone pole or green trash can in the park or etc.... however like I said - Thanks to whomever made photoshop
Oh... Kenny! When the L-29 Returns to Auburn we need to take shome shots with turned wheels

Can't help but wonder though, why the car wasn't moved away from the phone pole in the background.

I think I've seen Richard Jones' name, the noted Tucker restoration expert, in several of the ACD newsletters. If so, then this must be his wife on the right with Chrissie Tremulis. I don't think he gets to spend much time browsing these forums anymore. If you know him, please send him your warmest regards and a huge THANK YOU for saving so many of these wonderful cars from ending up in the crusher...
UPDATE: This is Betty Jones, but not of Tucker fame. Anyone know of another ACD Betty Jones?

These have probably not seen the light of day in decades and now they're protected in archival sleeves in closed notebooks. The Kadachromes look perfect, the Ektachromes have a red tint. I scanned on a Nikon coolscan 5000 that automatically does a great job of getting rid of dust and scratches and color-corrects for the Ektachromes.
I'm thinking these are from 1956...

The Cord just looked powder blue to me, but these colors seemed to be a host of names, maybe saying Ceylon blue for the L29 is correct, it has a nice ring to it. The tires were large but the wide whites did not look quite right, maybe they came a little more narrow back then.

The photo with Alex Tremulis with Isabel and Gertrude Duesenberg
is wonderful, it seems like it was taken yesterday.
And he looks so young and healthy!
A lot of time the kodachrome colors will change and the image has survived perfectly.
Was Isabel the daughter of Fred? Gertrude the wife of Fred?
They appear to be family friends.
Isabel was a very sophisticated looking lady, every bit Duesenberg.
She reminds me of the lady in the Dusenberg advertisements.
I have to keep reminding myself these are fifty year old pictures.

Yup, KC-97.
I can't find an image of Edwards AFB's control tower from the 1950's. Got one?
Also, can you ID the cars in the background?

Chrissie Tremulis' vote for Best in Show?
If this is the same car that Google shows as a 1932 Auburn Speedster, it looks like it lost its sidemount cover over the years, the knockoff hub's centers got painted, and the chromed stepsides got painted. So is it more original now, or less original?
