SOME OF THE IMAGES FROM THE 1955 EVENT I RECENTLY ACQUIRED

Jan 8, 2021

Many who follow my page have seen images I have posted over the last few years. Jeff Weeks found a box of negatives in an antique store in Maine. The box was simply labelled GAMR.He could tell they were of some sort of automotive event. After a bit of Googling he came across our GAMRR page and contacted us. He was kind enough to share some quick images he took with his phone and processed into positives. I was finally able to make a deal with him to purchase the collection a month or so ago. I set off on borrowing a professional photo/negative scanner and started my work of scanning almost 200 images. This is a time consuming process; partly because I am scanning them at high resolution so that I can make edits to them at a later date. Some of the scans are 50-60 MB! They will be reduced in size after they are edited. I am attaching about two dozen of some of the interesting ones that have not been edited or cleaned up. Some of the shots are blurry, some are poorly exposed. I am hoping we can clean up some of the really interesting ones with help from my friend who is a professional photographer. In the meantime I couldn’t wait to share some of what I have acquired. I will be adding captions to those that I can obtain more info on in the future.
