Looks like it took a pretty good hit too. At least I hope the doors weren't that poorly aligned from the factory. And it has a good size dent in it.

If this was Flint there would be all kinds of vehicle bodies, dunnage, support vehicles (forklifts and electric scooters) and junk stacked in the aisleway.

Could that be a white Oldsmobile on the line ahead of the Buick?

These are great! Thanks for sharing them here, haven’t been on the hamb for a while. I’m interested to find out the body color of that ‘64 burb in the first picture.

One year only, gray green metallic.

Thanks. I’ve never heard of it, but it just made choosing a factory paint color for my ‘64 more difficult.

Truck in the two pics below is the same. Gentleman posted on Facebook, & I saved them for this thread. I had already posted a different pic of this same truck previously. If I'm not mistaken, the son now has the truck.

Ones like these are still my favorite.
Edit.. I cleaned it up some.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

My buddy Chris in LV, NV found this pic the other day. Apparently I gave it to him a long time ago.. he recently moved in to a new house and came across it putting his garage together.

My '62 in 1982... belonged to my brother Jimmy back then. He painted it at the Vo-Tech in Henderson/Las Vegas. :ito::chevy::metal:

I was the local US Navy Recruiter then, Vo-Tech was one of the schools I worked. I had a Dark Blue 53 five window then.

That's cool! Do you happen to remember the truck? Any pics of your '53?

In my Sig is my 53.
I do not remember the C10. The GMC in my sig was initially built by Rick Newton in Las Vegas, His brother Skip Newton painted my blue 53 after having m e block sand it at his shop for two weeks. Never do that again.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

I love these old behind the scenes race photos.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

My uncle's old pulling truck from back in the 80s I believe. Truck was big block powered, and I believe they solid mounted the rear end to the frame before they bobbed the rear of it.

(Sorry for the delay in responding)

Yes - Fremont built Buick, Olds and Pontiac, all down the same line.

Any idea how they moved the rear fenders back? Cut, swap around and weld back I suppose? Looks like pretty good work. Sort of reminds me of one those 70s F#*D camper specials.

I'm not sure if they moved the fenders back or if it was a long wheel base truck they cut right behind the axle, so it just appears longer. I'll have to ask next time there's a family get together.

Its very cool regardless.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

I found a couple of family photos that have my 60 Burb in it with the first two being mid to late 60's and the 3rd is around 1970-1972ish. I am constantly looking for pictures with the Burb in it. i love being a 2nd Generation first owner.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

^ So, are the people in the photos you and your grandparents?

So.. The picture with the Ford in the foreground has my mom in the background and my father standing outside the Ford. I am not sure if that is my grandfather in the Ford. It looks like his cowboy hat and partial facial.

In the photo showing the rear of the Burb with the door open kinda confuses me. It is my mom to the left and I believe that I am standing there with maybe my older brother leaning in the Burb due to the height of the person. We didnt move into that house until 1969 and that fender on the right looks like my brother's 66 Polara which gives me the date of around 1973ish. I am just confused as to who the little duck in a cowboy hat is that is next to me.. My younger brother would have been approximately 8-9 yrs old ..

And.. I totaled that 68 Buick Skylark to the left in 1977..

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

Nice photo I found. Love the colors.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

If you've ever been in the middle east like Dubai, the ports have thousands and thousands of new American cars/trucks all the same color sitting there. I guess if your a member of the imerate you can just go and pick one up when your ash tray gets full.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

Cool picture.
I couldn't see a '60-'66 C10 in there anywhere though. Is one hiding someplace?
