It’s Vintage Photo Tuesday again (everyone claps with excitement) and this week’s edition is vintage photos from the 1920’s-1950’s of people with their cars. Why their cars? Well purchasing a vehicle 50, 60+ years ago was a much bigger deal then it is today, so owners (or their family & friends) wanted to document their hard work or good fortune for all to see!

Vintage Photos of People ‘Hanging Out With Their Cars’ 1920s-1950s

1930s Vintage Photo: A 1930’s romance and a car.

Cars from the moment they were created, became focal points in many a romance and this image is an excellent example of that connection.

1920s Vintage Photo: This family from the 1920’s looks like they might be heading out for a day of fun. Such great 20’s style!

1920s Photo: Okay everyone let’s get a quick photo with the car before we enter the speakeasy.

1920s Photo: Cloche hats, good friends and a random child on the car makes for a lovely moment in time.

1930s Photo: This is how you let people know you were divorced in 1930’s. This image makes me laugh, this man was clearly very happy to be free of his wife. It’s just him and his car now.

Our First Car-1930’s vintage photo (1935).

1940s Photo: Fenders sure came in handy for sitting on for photos, didn’t they? This is a cute photo, I love the woman’s 1940’s style and the photo bombing kid is funny.

1940s Photo: This 1940’s couple and their car are working on their “aren’t we cool?” poses. I think they are succeeding, don’t you?

1940s Photo: Smile and be happy kids, your dad just bought a car!

1940’s Love? Not so sure, the pretty lady in this 1940s photo does not look very impressed with her guy being so affectionate.

1950s Photo: These two lovely couples are dressed to the nines and ready to hit the town for night of fun, 1950’s style.

And this last image brings VPT to a close for another week. Now it’s question time! Do you have vintage photos of family members or friends with their cars? Or maybe you have a fond memory of your own photo with your first (or favorite car)? Please Share.
