On the streets of Dallas
 

Dallas, Oregon, that is. On a return trip home from a tour I stopped in the old town for a picture of my car. Neat old buildings, nicely preserved. Also a few miles north I spotted this Case steam tractor in front of a vintage building. Backroads offer some interesting scenes.

Nice pictures. That tractor is great. Backroads are the best

That is one of the best "back to the day" pics I have seen. No modern cars around or people in "todays" clothes to spoil it! :)

Here are my "period" correct photos taken on a winters day in Newtown CT. Notice the snowtires on my 36 fordor. It was a daily driver when I was in college (the 1970s).

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

Nice pictures, and I do enjoy old building much more than modern. I used to like it in the 50's and early 60's when you could drive around and see old cars and tractors parked beside the barn or garage.

Mighty fine homes in that photo --and your car as well :)

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

Very neat pics Ray, thanks! I too love old buildings they are disappearing much too fast:(

Your picture with your Coupe looks like Bonnie and Clyde might come running out of that building at any minute with stolen loot and guns blazing:)

I think those photos were taken not far from my uncle's house at 80 main street. He is dead now along with my aunt, but I think my cousin still owns the house and his kid lives there.

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

Maybe? that picture was not too far from "the flag pole".

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

From the highway, turn right at the flagpole and go down main street past the funeral home, and after the road curves, #80 is on the right, across the street from what was a gas station, then an ambulance garage. It is a nice old house.

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

That is not something you have to worry about in Newtown CT.

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

Here's another shot of my car and the Case tractor. I manipulated the photo a little to give it an old flavor.

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

The farmall cub is the newest vehicle in the photo, late 40's or 50's.

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

Certainly an older Case-short smokebox, cast stack, cast heater, 2 row lap. 190? 15HP? That's my best WAG ;)

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

What year, do you think?

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

Ray I really like that second photo you "played" with

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

Tiny, was it you who did some photo work with Snapseed, and alerted us to that app? That's what I used. It's a great app but only works on ipads, not imacs, which makes its tricky for me, but fun anyway.

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

Nice to see that tractor under roof.

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

Guesstimation on the year would be between 1904 and 1910... (doesn't have the semi-circular chain guides on the front axle). That said, I'm not as much of a Case geek as some people I know, could probably get a more accurate date within a few days. Did you grab the serial number?

Re: On the streets of Dallas
 

Very cool shots
