That is a hell of a thing. The floor must be sunken. Certainly easier to dig a bit of a hole than have to build the walls all of the way up. Thank goodness we've progressed past that point.

This version seems like a bit of an improvement.

1965 Chevy, parked at the The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, better known as A&P, which existed from 1859 to 2015. From 1915 through 1975, A&P was the largest grocery retailer in the United States (and, until 1965, the largest U.S. retailer of any kind). The window advertises four loaves of white bread for one dollar.

Why does the American West have enormous concrete arrows across it?
These large arrows, which measure roughly around 70 ft in length, are a forgotten remainder of a bygone age. It appears that they are randomly placed; these large arrows were at one time markers for early airmail flights throughout the US. They formed the first land navigation system in the world.

Related to the photo, I got Adam West's autograph at a mall in the Tampa/St Pete area around 1974/75. Saw the batmobile too. I was 4 or 5, so only barely remember.
But, but, BUT, it's on the Internet! It must be true!

Pennsylvania Railroad test weight car built in 1891, at the PRR shops in Altoona Pa.
The nature of railroading often requires that cars are weighed for contents, because billing was often measured by tonnage, and as such, scales must be regularly calibrated. These cars were built to test the scales for accuracy. They were metal to avoid taking on humidity weight, and lacked any extras that may affected the reading.
When this test weight car was retired in 1989, it was the oldest rail car in continuous service on a Class 1 Railroad in America.

Both pics look like AI or cartoonized.

Probably real photos that were heavily filtered to smooth out graininess and the saturation turned up. Because everyone knows that unnaturally smooth and colorful is the best... It's how the instagram generation sees or wants to see everything.

I've seen TV commercials for some sort of beauty cream with actresses like Heather Locklear and Jennifer Aniston where they over-applied filters to make their skin look smooth and perfect but they just ended up making them look weird. But I'm sure it sold more lotion.

^ the "Italian Job" should have been called the "Clown Job." I'll bet they didn't sell more than a few, if that.

And large glasses have come back in style (or were a few years back, they may be gone again. I don't keep track).

FACT: Willow Run... by November 1943 they were rolling out a new B-24 every hour. At its peak monthly production (August 1944), Willow Run produced 428 B-24s with highest production listed as 100 completed Bombers flying away from Willow Run between April 24 and April 26, 1944. By 1945, Ford produced 70% of the B-24s in two 9-hour shifts. Ford built 6,972 of the 18,482 total B-24s and produced kits for 1,893 more to be assembled by the other manufacturers. The B-24 holds the distinction of being the most produced heavy bomber in history. One of the many reasons the USA manafacturing prowess won the war.

In the quiet town of Stuttgart, Germany, in the year 1941, a sleek and elegant Horch 853 Sportcabriolet stood proudly outside a grand mansion. The car, with its flowing lines and powerful engine, was the pride and joy of its owner, a wealthy industrialist named Heinrich.
Heinrich was known for his love of fine automobiles, and the Horch was his most prized possession. He would often take it out for long drives through the countryside, relishing the feeling of power and freedom it gave him.
One day, Heinrich received a letter from an old friend who lived in Berlin. The friend was in trouble and needed Heinrich's help. Without hesitation, Heinrich set out in his Horch, determined to assist his friend in any way he could.
The journey to Berlin was long and arduous, but the Horch performed flawlessly, its engine purring as it ate up the miles. When Heinrich arrived in Berlin, he found his friend in dire straits, facing financial ruin.
Using his wealth and influence, Heinrich was able to help his friend out of trouble, saving him from ruin. As a token of his gratitude, the friend gifted Heinrich a rare and valuable painting, which he carefully placed in the Horch's spacious trunk for the journey home.
The return journey was a joyous one, with Heinrich feeling a deep sense of satisfaction at having been able to help his friend. As he drove through the German countryside, the Horch attracted admiring glances from all who saw it, its timeless beauty a testament to the craftsmanship of its makers.
When Heinrich arrived back in Stuttgart, he proudly displayed the painting in his mansion, a constant reminder of the adventure he had undertaken in his beloved Horch. And though the years would pass and the world would change, the memory of that journey would always remain fresh in Heinrich's mind, a testament to the enduring power of friendship and the timeless beauty of the Horch 853 Sportcabriolet.
