One of these in California just fell over.

In fact it was the tree in the photo. It can be found on Google with a life history and many other photos. We drove through it about 25 years ago in our 46 Ford, man that was fun.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Dang, that's sad...I read a couple articles about it falling, & one mentioned it being almost completely dead & beginning to lean a bit...glad nobody was injured when it came tumbling down!

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Pretty sure that the tree in this thread is the Wawona Tree that fell in 1969. (Notice the split going up on the left side of the tunnel and the rock wall.)

"In 1881, a 2,000-year-old giant sequoia called the Wawona Tree in Mariposa Grove, Yosemite National Park, was tunneled, and it became Yosemite's most popular tourist attraction. The tree stood for 88 years, but the brutal assault on her trunk left the tree weakened and she finally collapsed in a storm in 1969. The tree had a height of 227 feet and was 26 feet in diameter at the base. The famous tunnel was 7 feet wide, 9 feet high and 26 feet long at the base. It still lies where it fell, and is now known as the Fallen Tunnel Tree."

I thought they were talking about the one in Leggett, CA that fell.
Chandelier Tree in Leggett, CA
Not to be confused with the other Shrine Drive Thru Tree in Myers Flat, CA
Or the other other Tour-Thru Tree in Klamath, CA
Or the tunnel log
Or the Pioneer Cabin Tree
Or the original drive-through tree made famous in photos of Yosemite National Park, which toppled under a heavy load of snow in 1969.

such an awesome thread .... keep them coming

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

For the record it was the Pioneer Cabin tree in Calaveras Big Tree State Park that fell recently.

Cal.

Looks like the Northwest in 1962...any more info on this photo?

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Unfortunately, I don't have any details...I found it on Facebook

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

There is a "Gateway Chevrolet" in Fargo but I am not familiar with the area.

Yikes! That's a lot of red trucks! Even for a major fleet purchase. ??

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

lots on fire chiefs that year

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Just a quick rough count, I came up with 75 red trucks.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

and one lonely white elcamino.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I agree. Wondering if these trucks are going overseas? Maybe Saudi Arabia? I heard they only trusted red trucks in the desert.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

It appears to be a C 20 in the main photo (post # 1126). Taller stance, round rear axle housing and hubcaps protrude outside of rims.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

unfortunately don't have any older pictures of our family farm truck that we could find..

these are only about 15 years old but they capture the spirit I think..

Saw this on Hemming's this AM. You can see the Arch in the background, What year Chevy Truck?

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

Cool pic! Looks like a '64-5-6.

Re: Nostalgia - Pics in Time.
 

I agree. A 4, 5 or 6.

Could be at least as new as a '65, with that White '65 Chevy car just to the left of it.

Look close, there are a lot of Chevys in that picture.

Cool place.
