“Bo Whitaker, Florida State Women’s College, 1946.  A nice looking and great golfer, in the background you may see the grounds of the school.  This picture was used by many newspapers around the country.” LS You may know Florida State College For Women better by it’s current name, Florida State University.

“A very attractive young lady at Jacksonville Beach, FL on a summer day in 1963.  As you can see we weren’t alone, lots of onlookers, the car isn’t bad either.” LS The Brumos car dealership is well represented in the collection of Loyd Sandgren’s work as well as attractive young ladies.  I don’t know if […]

A beautiful boat full of beautiful women.  The matching hats on the ladies are a nice touch.  Don’t know any details on this particular shot and it is the only image of a Chris-Craft boat I’ve noticed in the collection but it looks like it may have been shot on the Ortega River looking South […]

Ok, so it is not the Easter Bunny but it is another wonderful photo of model Ruthie Moore in her Bunny costume posing in Oriental Gardens near Jacksonville’s San Marco neighborhood.  There are a couple of previously posted photos of Moore here and here.

Contestant in the Miss Jacksonville Pageant held in the Palace Theater in downtown Jacksonville.  1950’s.  I’m sure the extension cords stringing the stage lights together were up to code. The Palace was one of almost two dozen theaters located along Forsyth Street, Main Street, Bay Street and a few other locations around downtown Jacksonville during […]

Bob Hope signing autographs at the old Imeson Airport on Jacksonville’s Northside, 1948.  Love the old United Airlines prop plane (looks like a 4 engine DC-6 to me) in the background.  Don’t know if this photo in an earlier post was from the same visit or not.

A full length view of a previously featured strip tease artist in all of her feathered and sequined glory photographed in one of Loyd Sandgren’s downtown Jacksonville studios.  I think the cigarette in the cigarette holder adds a real touch of class!

Unidentified model atop a 1950’s vintage Pontiac at what looks like a car show.  I can’t figure out the location but I’m sure someone out there will recognize the distinctive tile work on the stairway.  Let me know if you figure it out. (Update)  Thank you to the Vintage Jacksonville fans who were quick to […]

You can’t go wrong with fast jets and pretty girls in bathing suites (or is that fast cars?) but this late 1950’s image of a bathing beauty and a Florida Air National Guard F-80 Shooting Star jet makes a pretty good pairing.  Loyd Sandgren did not leave any notes with this image but Ron Tittle […]

One of Loyd Sandgren’s commercial clients was a company that made floating rafts that they marketed as docks, floating islands and in this case an outboard motor powered pirate ship.  There are a number of photos in the collection showing the various uses and they all appear to have been shot on Lake Marco in […]
