My dad and I started going through slides he scanned before his film scanner died. There were a couple car-related ones in there, I thought you all might be interested. Once we get another film scanner, there’ll be some more. These are all taken outside Prince George, or near Fort St. J ames.

My dad did have a Beetle, but this isn’t it. This belonged to another guy who worked for the BCR, and was only a year or two old at the time I think.

Not a car, but it does have an engine and wheels. Another BCR guy, not my dad.

My dad’s Corolla

The ‘76 LandCruiser that replaced the Corolla. This was taken a couple days after he bought it, he drove it up to Murray Ridge to see how good off road it was. It got big mud tires not long after this.

Those are really cool pictures! Very crisp and in focus too, for an era which was mostly manual focus cameras (and every shot counted because film!) .

Yeah he had a solid camera for the time, a Fujica ST801. Not super expensive, but it was good. He did wind up being a professional photographer eventually

These are terrific! As already mentioned, the clarity is impressive for the age.

The beauty of good glass, well-kept slides, and good scans
