15+ Pics That Bridged The Gap Between The Past And The Present

As he wrote, his mom initially thought he looked goofy with that mustache but then broke down when she realized what he was doing.

Not only are they still as ready to thunder down the road as always but it looks like they've still been able to stick to the same kind of bike they're comfortable with.

He seems a little sleepier than his grandpa was when he gave off this smouldering look in the old photo but we can see a lot of similarities in their dress sense.

And considering that the biggest differences we can see are relevant to 2020, it seems reasonable to assume that this happened because quarantine got boring.

The only real difference seems to be that the uploader actually had a chance to sit atop a real animal by the time 1991 rolled around.

Not only can we make that connection thanks to the license number but the museum even has his original photo next to the truck.

It's amazing that it not only managed to survive but just happened to be selected for public display.

So what's the significance of that red dot in the first picture and the arrow in the second one? They mark the house he bought 45 years after visiting that beach.

And not only that but they always managed to keep the same car they had back in 1989 looking very good. The paint job is obviously different but it's a credit to their care that it held together so well.

Her date may look (slightly) hairier than her mom's but he looks just as dapper! And that dress held up surprisingly well over the years.

Although 50 years is certainly nothing to sneeze at, this man's recreation of his boyhood photo was taken 80 years after the fact.

Not only that but he managed to find an almost perfect match for what he wore back then.

As we can see, the uploader's mom kept the outfit she wore at the time but had some trouble finding the original hat.

Oh, well!

On the left, we see the uploader and his mom during her graduation from nursing school. Twenty-one years later, it's her turn to be there for his graduation as a paramedic.

And that's most notable in the way he matched his childhood stance 31 years prior. I guess finding a grown-up version of his boat wheel shirt proved a little too challenging, though.

Not every night has to be a wild one but it's a hard pill to swallow if you find out you were at your coolest while you were still wearing pull-ups.

You've likely noticed that the second picture has a smaller group than the original and that's sadly just what we can expect from life when that much time passes.

It's also pretty handy that both women adopted this style during the exact right decades where it works. Hey, nostalgia can take a while.

As we can see, he found himself in a position where he could recreate his freshman photo with pretty much the same hairstyle.

That's because they had lost touch for decades after their original photo was taken only to find each other once again two years ago and recently marry.

And yes, that apparently means he grew this mustache in specifically for that occasion. He committed!

Apparently, the original photo was taken during a flu epidemic in 1937 and it seems they dealt with it in a similar way back then.
