Old Kodachromes

The following series of images are from some very old Kodachromes I have from my parents. I scanned and cleaned them up as best I could.

The 1949 galleries are from a road trip my father took from Detroit, Michigan to Los Angeles, California that summer. The old cars are quite interesting, and LA looks the same today...

The Painted Desert and Petrefied Forest are on Route 66...and, via a short drive up US-93, so are Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. There are pictures in that album of the Mitchel Corn palace, the badlands, and Mount Rushmore that are not on Route 66. The pictures are magnificent...it was great to see them.

It look's like your father is a good photographer. The Kodachrome held up well . I got some kodachrome from the 60's that is still in good shape , but my ektachrome and other E-6's are fading. Does your father still take pictures?
