Did they have valets? Without rear view cameras we have today i doubt 1 in 20 today could back in without hitting the other behind it.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Not a vintage pic but worth an honorable mention for surviving the beach salt all these decades. Believe it is all original , six cylinder and driven by a guy who may have bought it new and may be in same shape. Tried to ask about it but got the messages quick. Pics too big to use forum pic posters,

This photo was taken in 1959 after a truck loaded with explosives caught fire and leveled most of the downtown area of Roseburg, Oregon. Roseburg today is a big hotrod town; I wonder if that AD truck in the background is still somewhere in town?

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Yes and much of old downtown roseburg looks same except for homeless roaming around.

There may be more pictures from that blast here in this thread. The story was very tragic, and as I remember the truck driver blamed himself for the damage despite the trucking company being found at fault.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Here's a truck that's still doing what it did.

"Mr First in Line" used this '51 Panel to drive from Yuma to Indy in time to be the first at the 500, for 12 years.

great picts.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
I looked hard at the Panel truck driven by "mr first in line" and cannot believe i actually drove one of these non stop from Hollywood CA to Rochester New York in 1969. 3 of us taking turns 2 sleeping in back. All at 45 MPH ( rod knock at 46 MPH). Rough trip, but back then 19 year olds could take anything.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
That TF tow truck is a beauty. Thanks all for the cool pictures. Man that explosion is unbelievable.
