How about some vintage Disneyland Moonliner shots to start your Monday with a blast...into space! The first image is from 1958 and gives us a look of the explanatory signage about the 80' tall 1/3 scale rocket space ship model that stood outside of the Rocket to the Moon attraction.
Today a 1/3 smaller version exists to sell Coke at Disneyland:
Back to the past with this undated image that also affords a view of the Flight Circle. I still miss Cox Pilot and his wonderful commentary.
At first glance this May 1956 shot seems ho-hum:
but a detailed closeup gives a view of the exterior waiting area for the attraction:
An adorable shot of a mom and daughter from April 1959:
Daughter is proudly holding a Park brochure; and how about that hand-tooled leather purse that mom is toating?
See more Disneyland Moonliner photos at my main website.
Are those two boys Wally and the Beaver? :)
ReplyDeleteI miss Cox Pilot too.

Michael - If not, they are probably cousins!
ReplyDeleteJG: You are very welcome!
Yep, same here Dave. Cox Pilot was a great source of history. His input is greatly missed. KS
ReplyDeleteOH these will be wonderful reference for my 1/4" scale model that I hope to have done by Xmas. Thanks so much Dave, yet another of my many excuses has evaporated...
