Ye, crisp. Not even signs of age deterioration.
You can even see reflections on a vehicle rims.
Considering it has also been copied and digitized to be posted. The clarity is just amazing.

Here are a couple that I already had scanned. My father did welding for friends on their dragsters and such. Living around SOCAL, everyone wanted to build something to take to the races or out to El Mirage (not far from me here). Not the best scans but fun to look at.
This was my Father's '41 Chevy that he always talked about when I was young.

Back when Hot-rodding was fun. Love straight engines as a Hudson/Plymouth guy.

I believe my Father told me he actually did all the welding on this thing and they won some show.

Here is my Father at an old Vegas sign. Not sure how old he is but he looks to be young maybe late teens. He was born in 32 so . . .
Gonna get some of the old car crash pics scanned.

Neat old stuff. I have a few copies of a magazine out out by a local mine. They'd do an article on some long time employee each month. They always had a great, posed, black and white portrait pic of the miner. There was just something about those B+W pics that surpasses a color version. Maybe it's just me, but it's like when they colorize a classic B+W movie...the film loses something int he transition.

The reflector button signs were about 55-68' . The major highways had that sign changed for the Centennial in 1964 .
That actually looks a lot like US 395 south of Reno . It's definitely not US 6 at Utah or Ca , or 93/95 at Vegas or Tahoe . It's not over Donner pass before it was I80 . Maybe down coming north from Lake Havasu or into Parump from Tacopa Hot Springs .
It could be the east end US 50 or whatever I15 replaced . There's not enough trees for it to be much north of Pahrump on the west side . If he was on his way to/from Bonneville from anywhere south or east of US 395 or California 14 it's almost to be the east end of US 6 there's not a dry lake on the west end .

OK, OK, I know all you old guys want something that brings back memories. These bathing beauties are before my time! Looks like a Union Oil thing going on.

You make the mistake of thinking they are capable of thinking things out that far ahead. Far too complex a thought train involved for a lot of our modern mental midgets.

Let's make it cost prohibitive to run heavy trucks , break down the rail system and allow a government body to own all of the water and power feeds .
It's working beautifully for Los Angeles city and county and a not minor portion of the surrounding cities . (Mostly purple font filed under even the straight truth sounds sarcastic )
