Richard Lentinello, if you remember the late, much lamented Motor Trend Classic magazine, in its short lifespan it became THE finest automotive periodical in the world, and I sense you have designs on equalling or surpassing that wonderful magazine. ????

Marty Villa
Larry, that magazine was awesome!

From Update with new video: Crankshaft, Richard Lentinello's new quarterly magazine, is available for orders

Top photo: The fire hydrant in the mystery photo appears lined up with the LIMP’s entrance island, but closer to the south side of the island.

Mid photo: Using this parameter, a current Google map search revealed these two hydrants today, located on the south curbside of HHB. I suspect the older, capped-off hydrant on the right, IS the hydrant in the mystery photo.

Bottom photo: A current view of where the photographer was standing in the mystery photo. This current view was taken just inside the HHB south border (blue line), vs the mystery photo view, taken just outside the HHB border. The hydrant can be seen in the current view.

From From the Hugh Nutting Collection: Insight into the Woodies of Huntington's J.T. Cantrell and Company

I brought the 1929 Oldsmobile-Cantrell to sunny Southern California from Colorado Springs.  She loves the sun and the “surfer” lifestyle.
It is rumored that she worked as a depot hack for a hotel in Colorado.  I have a “souvenir” painting originally sold at their gift shop. Does anyone know the name of the hotel?

I wrote “because it’s the only such view” but completely forgot to mention my all-too-oft-noted missing pix of the same area taken several years later when the HHB verges were just being paved and planted.  I didn’t take those pix (too young) and so SOMEONE other than I must also have them.  If I ever find those fool photos, I will be even-more-insufferable on this subject!  Sam (the Hyphen-King), III

The Greco family told me on Monday that they really appreciate all your tributes to Sam. He will be missed.

From Sad News: We Lost a Good Friend and Master Mechanic

This an amazing historical Queens photo

From Updated: Mystery Foto #40 Solved: A Historic 1938 Ground-Level View of the Western Terminus in Fresh Meadows

Missed this week’s mystery photo, but an amazing and actual view of the Motor Parkway entrance, as it appeared to motorist heading east on Nassau Blvd (LIE & Peck Av today). This semi-secluded entrance lacked a bigger sign for motorist to engage, and also needing a reduced fare to accommodate all motorists. Thanks Howard for discovering and sharing this gem to all.

From Updated: Mystery Foto #40 Solved: A Historic 1938 Ground-Level View of the Western Terminus in Fresh Meadows

This is the entrance to the Motor Parkway from Horace Harding Boulevard,looking eastward.It appears to be not long after the parkway’s closing judging from lack of activity or upkeep.The billboards advertised the parkway itself and a pending real estate development locally. Today’s view would feature the LIE in place of The Horace Harding/Nassau Boulevard and St.Francis Prep High School on the near right side. The intersection in the distance is probably Hollis Court Boulevard;it does not appear that Francis Lewis Boulevard has been constructed yet. Time period:1939 approximately

Howard, So sorry to hear the news about Sam’s passing.  Our sincere condolences.
Judy & Rich

From Sad News: We Lost a Good Friend and Master Mechanic

Having lost a close friend myself at Sam’s age I understand the sadness and shock of his passing. May he rest in peace and may you Howard and his family cherish his memory.

From Sad News: We Lost a Good Friend and Master Mechanic

So sorry to hear. Some great memories there.

From Sad News: We Lost a Good Friend and Master Mechanic

Nick Greco, I went to GC schools with your Dad. I am so terribly sorry for your sudden loss. It is very hard to lose a loved one, but a parent is the worst. All of our hearts from the GC Class of 1983 go out to you and your family. In the pictures, he looks like he Truly Lived his Dream! Not too many folks can say that. He was blessed.

From Sad News: We Lost a Good Friend and Master Mechanic

I’m so sorry to hear this. Rest In Peace Sam.

From Sad News: We Lost a Good Friend and Master Mechanic

Terrible news. Condolences to the Greco family, and to many associated with Sam. A rare powerhouse loss today

From Sad News: We Lost a Good Friend and Master Mechanic

This would appear to be looking to the east at the western entrance to the LIMP along Horace Harding Boulevard. The first bill board with the lattice bottom is announcing the parkway “50 miles.”
