This one is cool although you might need to press ctrl and + a few times to really see it. The Miller delivery trucks to the right of center are AD COE trucks.

It's like where's Waldo, haha.
Cool to see the old dealerships

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

The AD guys can correct me, but it looks like there are three AD's in the middle photo. The shop truck with the push bumper is obvious. There's a panel van parked by the service door. But then it looks like some kind of Suburban / panel with a single rear door is hooked to the back of the shop truck.

My 65 Sport wagon is in the second row!

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

I'm guessing 65 although the newest vehicles I see are '64. It's Credited as Chevrolet plant Muncie, IN South Parking Lot. The lot is paved in that photo but partially dirt in the photo below, so if there happens to be an old Muncie employee hanging around the forum we might get a better idea.

There are a lot of cool pictures if you have some time to search.

1965 GTO! 6th row 2nd one in.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

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.

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,

That's the same one that's immortalized on Google Street View:

yup. If you follow him keep distance as parts may fall off at any time. Gold Beach home of the dead dairy queen and rotting boat display.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

He's making the male side (the "punch" side) of a die for stamping the sheetmetal panel. Somewhere there's a "female" counterpart going through the same process.

They are usually machined a few thousands of an inch shy and then skilled tradesman ("die makers") will provide the final fitment between the male side and the female side, spotting them in with a handheld die grinder.
