Why Our Uncles From The 50's Ruled

[Phog Allen]

Good evening gents. I had to post these photos of two of my favourite uncles. Unfortunately one has passed away. A peach of a chap I must say. His younger brother is the one on the car. My mother recently came into possession of these photos after the elder uncle died a few years ago. We did not know they existed. Man, those were the days. The photo of of the elder uncle says he was twenty-nine(1963, my birth year) but I think it may have been earlier. Was he a slick looking lad or what? And how about that shave? The other was about fifteen when the photo was taken in 1956. These photos really brought back fond memories. I hope you enjoy them.

Cheers, Todd

Good looking Men and the 1950 was a Ideallic time in US history.

That's a pretty damn good shave.

Like the crew cut! I remember having a big, chap stick full of pomade to wax up the front of my crew cut as a kid.

And get this guys. He used NO product to keep that crew up. I have seen other photos when he was a bit younger just out of army basic and had grown a flat top even taller than the crew in the photo. He had that hair line till he passed away. Both were great to be around when I was growing up.

Cheers, Todd
