Here you go. You should be able to right click and Save Linked File. The file is approximately 25.4MB.



Maybe we can get a thread going of people posting their favorite vintage photos. *High quality of course*

Thats the only one I've found that has an archive of pictures. I picked up all the others at random places on the internet. Hence this thread, I would like to find more.

I really like the San Fran shot, and the old Maxwell advertisement. 🙂
