On the top deck of the BOAC “City of Cardiff” Short Solent Mark III flying boat at the Oakland Aviation Museum. See here and here for views of the exterior of the airplane.
The Museum’s Solent was a cast member in the movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, and this is the seat that Harrison Ford occupied in the movie (it is the one that is the dirtiest and most worn out because everyone wants to sit in it, :-D). The magazine is a photocopy of the magazine that was in the Solent scenes in the movie as well.
More information on the museum’s Solent flying boat can be found here.

Shot by one of my idols the great Robert Capa, who is reputed to be responsible for introducing Nikon to the West. As well as starting the famous Magnum Agency. Apparently he picked up a Nikon F on his travels during the early years of the second world war.
The amazing thing about this shot from Life Magazine is the fact that they mention that Capa shot 106 pics on this landing in Normandy, and all but 10 were ruined by the Lab.

A Close up of the tail lamps on this 1959 Cadillac Coupe De Ville at the RACV Fly The Flag Tour.
In 1983 Life magazine named the entire 1959 Cadillac range as one of the worst American cars ever, describing them as being from the Buck Rogers School of transportation.
No other person at the Algonquin Round Table loomed larger over the group than Robert E. Sherwood. When the group started meeting in June 1919, he was a Harvard graduate and combat veteran of World War I. Sherwood was a writer briefly on Vanity Fair, before moving to the original Life humor magazine. In his late twenties he got serious about writing plays. Sherwood went on to win four Pulitzers: three for Broadway dramas and one non-fiction award for a book about President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Sherwood was a longtime New Yorker who loved the theater and working with actors; but he was very political and that always showed in his work.
