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

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

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

[C10 - C90 Bill]

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.

I grew up in Canonsburg which is also the original location of Don Yenko Chevrolet. We used to go to the library every Wednesday evening and would park across the street from Yenko and stop and look in the window on the way into the library.

Here's a 64, 65 or 66 working on the demolition of the old North Central School in Canonsburg, PA in late 1966. Who knows it could have been sold by Mr. Yenko himself.

I know some get repeated, but I think these are actually new ones. A guy from the C/10 Club- TN Chapter posted these on Facebook. He said they're from 1964 in Nashville, TN.

Very cool exhaust stack showing on that roadster.

Besides the colors, the GM promo shot depicts an upscale model in an upscale area. I would assume a yacht owner would have no problem springing for every option in the book.

Yes, great color combo!. GM ad people knew it would look great against the fancy mahogany cruisers (big boats) of the day. Nowadays, those boats are a tough sell. So elegant, yet so demanding for maintenance. Quite a bargain on the style points per dollar scale though. Love those wooden beauties!

Man the memories! In the early 60s my grand dad had a big 52 footer Cris-Craft, Teak & Mahogany. Two 430 Lincoln engines. It was kept at Go Day Marina in Guntersville Alabama. We used to get in those boats & three or four boat loads would go up the Tennessee river every summer around to the north side of Chattanooga to a place called Loret Villa & spend a week. There were Jukes all up & down the river, big dance floors & live bands & Bar B Q!
My Aunt like to have had a heart attack when it cost $70 to fill that boat up with gas!
Here's a photo of Loret from late 50's early 60's.
In the photo we used to dock on the long pier in the background where the large white boat is docked. Caught many fish offa that pier! At the end of the pier in the foreground was an island that I used to go over to & chase the ducks!
Thanks for letting me ramble!

Was a much different world back then...

Notice the location of the bumper guards. I have seen them mounted out side of the frame rails but do not recall seeing them inside.

[jbgroby]

You're right on the location. I have mine mounted to the bumper bolts. I wonder why the change? You think the factory did not want to keep punching extra holes?

I don't know why the change but bolting on the bumper bolts would definitely be easier and look cleaner. Interesting how they changed stuff over the years.
