In Belgium and the Netherlands many hearses were made from modified US-cars. They were roomy and reliable. Besides after WWII Belgium had no own notable car production anymore. And in the Netherlands there was no own car production at all. But there do were car assembly factories, like GM Antwerp (1924-2010) and Chrysler Rotterdam (1958-1971). So these cars were both suitable and available.
This Chevrolet Hearse still wears the typical roof ornaments belonging to its former function. The car was part of the Mahy collection and was offered at an auction in 2018. It was sold for 4300 EUR.

Description:
Chevrolet Impala Corbillard 1964.
N° châssis ou moteur: 41747J4357.
La Chevrolet Impala est un modèle construit à l'aube de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle par la division Chevrolet de General Motors. L'Impala se voulait être un véhicule prestigieux accessible au citoyen moyen américain. Il fut pendant longtemps le modèle le plus vendu chez Chevrolet.
L'Impala qui vous est proposée est un étrange corbillard. Comme tous ces véhicules qui ont peu servi et ont été utilisés avec soin, il se présente en très bon état général et ne demandera qu'à être remis en route. Le carrossier a fait un très bon travail rendant ce véhicule très profilé et aérodynamique.
The impala that is presented to you is a strange hearse. Like all these vehicles that have been little used and used with care, they present themselves in a very good general condition and will ask you to be renewed.
The Chevrolet Impala Series was presented in 1958 and divided over 10 generations this range still exists till the present day.
This one is from the third generation. It was designed by Bill Mitchell (1912-1988), in-house-designer at GM under Harley Earl (1893-1969).
Six different engines were available (one L6 and 5 times V8).
Overall production Chevrolet Impala: 1958-present.
Production Impala 3rd gen.: 1960-1964.
Production Impala this version: 1964.
Original photographer, place and date unknown.
This car was probably photographed on location somewhere in the old textile factories in Leuze-en-Hainaut where the Mahy collection is housed.

The young woman in this photo is reading a book titled Happy Accidents, by Jane Lynch -- known to many for the "Sue Sylvester" character she has played on the TV show "Glee" for several seasons...
I can't tell what the woman thinks of Ms. Lynch's book. I suppose I should have asked her, but I didn't want to interrupt. Actually, to be honest, I had no interest at all in what she was reading -- I just thought that the arrangement of lines and angles was interesting, and I was also intrigued that she had found an isolated little corner in which to do her reading. So I left her in peace...
If you would like to know more about the book, here's a URL link to the Amazon page:
As for Ms. Lynch, the Internet reliably (?) reports that she attended Cornell University, is 6 feet tall, and was worth $10 million in 2015. I have no idea whether any of that information is accurate or true ...

As I have noted in several earlier Flickr albums, as long as I continue going to the same NYC dentist, you can count on two or three sets of photos of Bryant Park each year. The reason is simple: my dentist is located in mid-town Manhattan, about a block from the park — and when I'm done, I'm always tempted to walk over and see how the park looks. Consequently, I've collected almost a dozen separate sets of Bryant Park photos, which you can see summarized here on Flickr. (At least one or two of those other sets will provide you with the historical details of the park; or you can look it up here on Wikipedia.)
In mid-June of 2015, I took another stroll through the park, not having been there for almost two years. I wandered mostly around the periphery of the park, looking for interesting scenes to capture with the Sony RX-1R camera whose results I'm showing in this album, and also a Sony RX-10 camera whose results you'll see in a separate album in a couple days. I locked the camera into a wide-angle setting and a fixed f/8 aperture, and I just pointed the camera in the general direction of an interesting scene, and pushed the shutter button. Of the several hundred shots that I took during these strolls, there were a handful that seemed worthy of uploading; that's what you'll be seeing in this set and the next one. All of this took roughly an hour, at the end of which I put away my camera, and headed back uptown, content that my teeth would survive for another several months...
This is the Black & Decker 1/4” Drill No. 310-5 Type 1. My father-in-law gave me this drill when I moved into my first home a couple of decades ago, and I have had it ever since. I have used it for countless tasks around my house. In fact, just yesterday, I used it to install a new doorbell.
After doing some research, I found that if the label reads "THE BLACK & DECKER MFG. CO., TOWSON, MD. U.S.A.," it was likely manufactured before 1976. This means my drill is probably around 50 years old, which inspired me to submit it as my entry for my 52Frames assignment on Wabi-Sabi.

( ´∀`) A gift to Celebrate my Birthday from me too you 🎂 This is my Kettenkrad I’ve been working on for about 2-3 weeks it wasn’t as difficult to build as one may think and it’s very unique from the norm! From its steering wheels used for road wheels too it’s kinda funky solutions to adding mud guards over the front of the tracks! Very enjoyable build overall was happy to get the parts to finished the background from @valiantbricksofficial and using parts purchased at BrickFair Virginia in late July I was able to finish off the mid section!

Multiple signs on this wall make it difficult to read. At the top there is painted lettering of "Old Reliable" and along the bottom in the same font it reads "For the Generations". The product for which this ad existed is covered by a newer "Bull Durham" painting.
Wouldn't want to overlook the metal "Washington Inn Pepsi Tap" sign. Pepsi on tap? I don't think so. The building that this sign is long gone.
There is a Falstaff Beer wall sign to the left of this ad. Look at the previous photo in my account to view that.
One of the reliable trains through Southeast Missouri at that time was this afternoon hotshot, UP Train ZYCMQB 28. Power was power to the UP, and today this train was entrusted to a C40-8W and a leased former MP SD40-2 and nobody batted an eye. Here the train is easing up to the crew change at North Dexter on the UP Chester Sub. before swapping out and blasting south to Pine Bluff.

These two old harvesters saw their last crop many years ago.But I'm sure,like the old windmill towering over them,they gave their owner many years of reliable operation...
Have a great Windmill Wednesday everyone!

Despite it being a rotten, old piece of crap, the CSXT 7793 leads CP 687 past Des Plaines at every bit of 5MPH. The crew seemed to not know how to use the ditch lights.

Creativity has always been of a fickle, often elusive, friend of mine. Work, travel, schedules often conspire to drain my creative energy and prevent me from creating consistently. You can tell by the big time gaps in my uploads here. My posts often occur in bunches with long gaps between them.
I’ve had some time recently and I’ve really enjoyed creating these silly little composite images with my granddaughters. They love seeing themselves in these stories, and I love having this as something we can share. I know that a time will come when they won’t always want to spend time with me and they certainly won’t want to participate in these kinds of projects as they get older, so I’m gonna enjoy the ride as often as I can.
I know that composite images like this aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, and many don’t consider them true photography, and that’s fair. I’ve just never wanted to lock myself into one kind of photography.
For those who’ve enjoyed these Halloween images, and provided feedback, I thank you. For those who really don’t enjoy photoshopped images, but have continued to view and follow my work anyway, I also thank you.
I truly appreciate you all!
