Couple more....This one really cracks me up...check out the spelling of "alignment" in the 4th pic.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

And the last of them for now....The last pic was taken during the eruption of Mt. St Helens, they are wiping off ash of the vehicles.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

This one isn't truck related, but its a car I've never seen...and appears to be a corvette wagon? Any info on these?

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Love those old dealership pics!
Found this one. I see on the extreme right someone saw the light and traded in his F**D in on a GMC! Like that 60-61 GMC behind the F**d too.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I don't have info but saw one pop up in another thread somewhere once, or maybe on Facebook. I have a couple modern pics of ones I saw at car shows.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Maybe it was a concept design? Or a few home conversions. I don't think it made production, but not really sure on that either.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

It was known as the Waldorf Corvette, being displayed at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel for the GM Motorama. There are many hits on a Google search including this Youtube post:


And here's one more:

That's a cool looking wagon....certainly a corvette type design. Kinda looks a bit like a Nomad lookin' rear end.
I'd like to know more.
It appears like GM thought about makin a wagon on the Vette platform....and then decided to go with the Corvair wagon......maybe....?

BTW: Thanks Mark.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

One of my favorites.

I remember a family vacation to Gatlinburg TN back in the late 60's and there was a Gas war going on and gas was 19.9 for Regular… of course a new car was under $4000...

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Thanks for the links Mark. Its a cool looking little wagon, guessing only a few made.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

There's one of those Corvette/Nomad wagons here in town. I don't know anything about it other than it has been driven a lot and it shows the miles.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Judging buy this photo of what I'm guessing are the prototypes for the 54 Corvettes there could have a wagon and a fastback. That would have been so cool.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

That fastback is a sharp looking car.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

A few more pics

Wow I love the photos showing "old trucks" keeping up in "modern traffic"! Back in a time when it was easy to identify every vehicle in the photos.

With the new jelly bean shaped cars I need to read the nameplate to know who made them!

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Heres an interesting old hybrid. Part 66 GMC and part Mack truck

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Fellow forum member "Strodder" (aka Dennis) said it's a kit that copies the Nomad concept.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

The Corvettes are factory GM show cars, produced for the Autorama shows. Lots of info out there on google.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Thanks guys for the info.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Thanks for posting these old pics - it's my favorite thread on the forum.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Here's one off of Facebook off of powerglide magazine. Old 61 behind the totaled Lemans.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

'54 Nomad concept, you can get a new one if you want to empty your 401(k)

They used to have a dedicated site, but must've taken it down. Poke around the internet and you can see some that people have made themselves, I've seen that one in Spokane at a car show, but I didn't talk to the owner enough to find out how he built it.
