1959 BW Negatives

This post showcases a number of images from a set of 1959 BW negatives. Unfortunately, the first one of Scary Minnie is out of focus. I have included a full-color image of her in an attempt to pacify any picky readers who might be lurking out there. Note that Scary Minnie in this image has no bow on her head.



The Dapper Dans are cycling past the Upjohn Pharmacy on a bicycle made for four; wonder if they changed the lyrics of the classic song ("Bicycle Made For Two") to fit?



A Trio of Lovelies Castle; based on the arm on the left-hand side of the photo, I am guessing that somewhere there is another photo taken at the same moment that might exist:



Dumbo, The Matterhorn, and the Original Skyway buckets...sigh.



You don't really need color to show off a gray Patrick Henry Sub:



This photo of Wally Boag & The Can Can Girls performing live was posted the other day, but thought I'd include it again since it is part of this batch:

Vintage Subs

From August 3, 1959 (not the 4th, but the 3rd!) is this view of the original Submarine Voyage. Other than the monorail, with the gray of the subs and the uniforms of the cast members, this could be mistaken for a military zone! I prefer the 20k theming that Disney World used for their Sub ride, as shown in this Oct. 1972 view:



3 view from June 1964, starting with a closeup of the Patrick Henry (I wonder what kind of reception they get with that little antenna up front?)







Last one for today is from January 1968:



Eagle-eye reader Mr. Mouse Monthly noticed a cast member on top of the Monorail track in the previous photo. Let's zoom in!



For anyone interested in an update on my Main Street painting, here is a shot I took this morning:



And just out of curiosity, is anyone else out there doing the Disneyland Half Marathon this Monday?
