Guest Mims Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 In cleaning out my fathers estate I have found several sets of slides from the LZOC and LCOC meets in the southeast US from the 1960's-1980's. If someone would like them for free I will be more than happy to let you have them. Just contact me at mauricebeth@bellsouth.net. Thanks,Maurice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_Phil Knapp Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hi Maurice,I started on your father's slides today. Here's the first album. It's pretty time consuming (see attachment for "raw" scan of one of the slides) so it will be a while. http://community.webshots.com/album/552039687HuALAQAn on-going project!

no more Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 oh c'mon..in 1974 we all went to cedar point for gof VII .not for continentals...after all, all the old dudes had continentals....we thought they were pretty cool and valuable cause they were not connies!!j boothlzoc 1232 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Phil Knapp Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 How many Zephyrs were at GOF VII in 1974? Were there any Continentals in attendance? We drove our 1947 Continental from Los Angeles to Vermont to the Eastern National LCOC meet in 1970 and I don't remember ANY Zephyrs there. We also drove the Continental to the Western LCOC meet at Yosemite the same year and don't remember any Zephyrs there either. I don't know the percentage of Zephyr production to Conmtinentals, but the Continental survival rate is incredible compared to the Zephyr survivals, so a LOT of Zephyrs were sacrificed to keep Continentals running. (I must admit that I cut a pretty nice ($50) 1948 Zephyr sedan in 1968 for parts).At the LZOC Western National meet at Carlsbad CA, last year there were only FOUR Zephyrs entered, but there were a LOT of Continentals. In fact, I was told that a lot of early Continental owners are abandoning the LCOC and are joining the LZOC because that's where all the V-12 cars are!

imported_Phil Knapp Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Well, I finally finished scanning all of Maurice's father's slides. It took a while because many of the slides had dust specks or scratches on them which I removed using Adobe Photoshop.Here are the links to all the photo albums.To view the photos, just click on the link:Box 1: LCOC-Stone Mountain, GA-10-1994 Photos: 36http://community.webshots.com/album/552039687HuALAQBox 2 AACA-Stone Mountain, GA-1971-73 Photos: 46http://community.webshots.com/album/552096047DIDYknBox 3: Various Georgia Car Shows-1973 Photos: 31http://community.webshots.com/album/552295193exUwiNBox 4: LCOC-Gatlinburg, TN ? 1977 Photos: 28http://community.webshots.com/album/552486144bcsxfTBox 5: Car Show-Pensacola-1978 Photos: 11http://community.webshots.com/album/552420923dsJIJKBox 6: Atlanta Car Show-1969 Photos: 27http://community.webshots.com/album/552483138VNjGOOBox 7: Callaway Gardens Car Show-Atlanta, GA. 1975 Photos: 26http://community.webshots.com/album/552546582FBocZgBox 8: Georgia Mountain Fair-1970-71 Photos: 19http://community.webshots.com/album/552870341BvZvjUBox 9: Cars-1966 Photos: 17http://community.webshots.com/album/553126149pYhBOpBox 10: Jekyll Island Car Show-1977-78-80 Photos: 45http://community.webshots.com/album/552696675xrfjVIBox 11: Old Car Meet-Griffin, GA 1969-1972 Photos: 42http://community.webshots.com/album/552804009TvmTsRIf any of you are unfamiliar with Webshots, the software is free to download at www.webshots.com Happy viewing! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mims Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Phil, this is Maurice Mims. I just wanted to say thanks for taking the slides from my fathers collection and posting them. I got your email but have not had a chance to respond due to a new job. The job you did on the slides is fantastic as for posting. I have referred your listings to several old car buffs in the southeast US and also family members. I am still reviewing them but the pictures (if they are here ) of the young guy with the head of hair standing next to A Models is myself. The big picture I have wondered in reviewing the slides is where are all of these cars now, especially the Lincolns. As mentioned to your previously, the 41 Lincoln Zephyr 5 window coupe that my dad had was the only one we new of in Georgia except for a white (40 to 41) owned by a dentist Dr. Pratt in Macon. Dr. Pratt's car is is in the pictures. He eventually sold the car, wonder where it is now.Anyway, thanks again for your work.Maurice Mims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
