I too would be happy to pay a little more for this site to host my Chevy-related photos.

A tiered approach would be nice, allowing us to pay for the amount of storage we use.

Cheers, Dean

Although I agree with what has been said concerning the disappointment with all the dead pic links, exactly why can't folks post pics to this site now? I do, Rustohlic does as do others. Why can't folks just post pics to the Member photos or Member projects? What am I missing?

At one point there was talk that having the club host thousands of photos would require the purchase of much bigger hard drives, etc. For the club, it's cheaper if our photos are hosted somewhere else. As for using the members area photos, I'd want the photos to show up in the posts I make, not off to the side in another thread. Overtime I try to upload a photo to it, I'm told my photo is the wrong size... and I'm looking for a single step process to match my single step knowledge of computers. (I've been totally faking my "expertise" in the area of computers if you haven't guessed!)

Now, I have no idea about the financials of multi million dollar international companies... but I do think it's shady business when a company advertises it's "free" package to the public, while rolling up a lion's share of profit, and then uses the same public's photos as hostages in order to demand payment to release the photos again.

I would understand if they Grandfathered it in, and told me that any future photos I add after a certain date would have to be paid for...I might have even considered a membership at a reasonable rate. Then myself, you, and our VCCA community wouldn't be being held hostage by Photobucket. At this point I'll find any other option rather than deal with them again.

Just checking to see if it possible to post pictures here.

As Rod pointed out, with the new server software you can attach photos (files) inline to a post and the picture appears in the post.

Also, the upload software automagically resizes the photo for you. Happy happy!

Thanks Peter!

Are my eyes deceiving me???!!! Can you guys see all the pics again?

Seems to be!
If you plan on continuing, it might be best to start a new post with the same theme and then upload directly to the post now that pictures can be attached.

That way when (insert hosting site here) decides to grind you for cash, you will no longer be a victim...

Looks to be a '32, I'd be surprised if the driver fared to well after this encounter

First one is of a friend's mother with her first car. 2nd pic I have no info on, except it's advertising one of my favorite products !

Me (circa 1963) at Joe Mercantini's Chevrolet in Bordentown, New Jersey and a photo of the rear from the next owner.

I traded emails with the gentleman who bought it from Joe. Although he claims the car is from 1926, I suspect it was delivered to the dealership in '26. but was a 1927 model.

1929 Chevrolet Cabriolet and 1929 roadster from Oshawa Ontario...

My Grandpa's '31 Sedan Special with his goat! Not sure if he was taking a picture of the car or the goat. Maybe both.

1954, Flint, Mi. The gold ”˜55 Chevrolet was GM’s 50 millionth car.

Here is a picture of my dads 32 roadster back in the 70's. My brother owns it now and wishes that it looked that good today.

This 32 is in my uncles museum here in Greenfield.

According to Charlie, I'm pretty sure the bulldozer got stuck and the'41 has yanked it clear out of the field on the left...

Brewster: Now that's an interesting photo. An old Chev, unusual dozer and in the background it looks like some crop harvesting is in progress.

That bulldozer must have helped itself a bit to get out of the field for I think that front bumper on the '41 would look a bit different if it did all the pulling, going by the manner that the tow rope is fastened!

We had a dozer like that in our quarry. There is no way that 41 could pull that dozer. I would guess what happened was the dozer was pulling the 41 out of the ditch.

I agree with jschildberg, that the '41 is being towed out of the ditch. In the end, though, it was the '41 bumper that got :
"rescued" and the car left in the ditch.

jschildberg,
Your Dad's car is a Cabriolet, not a Roadster.

Before the Futurliner, the GMC Streamliners lead the GM Parade of Progress in '36-'38.

Actually that would not be the assembly line but rather the plant were Chevrolet/GMC built the bodies.....Then the completed body would be sent to the assembly line to be mounted on the frame.
