In this thread, pictures of automobiles juxtaposed with other modes of transportation. In this first grouping, trains, planes, and boats.
If you would like to add some of your own, pictures should be from before 1980.
Cool thread idea, Otto!
So ... would this count? I took it during my Route 66 road trip, September 2009:

While the Chevy is pre-1980, I suspect the picture is a bit newer than that ;)

Ah that takes me back - catching the tram to school in the 1940s/1950s.

Thanks for your batch of aviation-related photos posted today!
So many have British content, not just the Farnborough Airshow ones, and there are some unusual aeroplanes, such as the prototype Avro Ashton airliner(278), the Short Sperrin as partly re-engined as a de Havilland Gyron test-bed(282) and, if I'm not mistaken, "Ike meets the de Havilland Comet" (302).
I was probably in the crowd next to the runway when the Vulcan flew at Farnborough that day(283).
Can't remember if we've had this before:

That one was a puzzle, long ago. :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the airplane pics. 303, from 1953, is captioned:
Queen Elizabeth II at the Coronation Review of the RAF at Odiham Hampshire. She inspected 1125 officers and other ranks drawn from all commands of the RAF and over 300 aircraft with crew and personnel. Vehicles and equipment representing all branches of the services were also paraded and the visit ended with a fly past of more than 600 aircraft in review order. Visible aircraft include de Havilland Venom jet fighters (front row, right), B-29 Superfortress long range bombers (middle row), called Boeing Washingtons by the RAF, and American-built F-86 Sabre jet fighter (front row, middle).
301/303 are as you say - as we are celebrating HM's Golden Jubilee this year, perhaps they'll do something similar (but only about 10% of the number of aeroplanes would be there!)
302 is a different event which I can't place, but I think I got the participants right.
Right. 302, from 1957 is captioned:
Sir Harold Macmillan with Eisenhower, a meeting which restored Anglo-US relations (Jan) RAFM

A pedant he say: Harold Macmillan never had a knighthood, but in February 1984 was created Earl of Stockton.

#99 is cool! Sea-Tac in the 1950's.
You mean the 1959 Siddeley Hawker plane?
Sea-Tac is shorthand for Seattle-Tacoma airport, in Washington state.
How about a car in a boat?
Or a car underneath an aeroplane?
Nice!

New batch cars and (77): were red tyres an optional extra? :o
On the site where I found it, the poster said they were internally illuminated, and Goodyear was trying to pass them off as 'tires of the future'. I'm pretty sure Chrysler never sold them as an option.
Thanks for illuminating me. ;)
