Just stopping by the tackle shop for some worms for the weekend of fishing after working two weeks without a break.

LOL, and check out the paint on that truck, it looks like it was a week old!
This is a cool one. Brian

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Nothing like a beer truck wreck to draw a crowd.
Plus one I came across. O'connor Moving had just about one of everything.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Both of those photos are great. You can tell how long Oconnors was in business by the years of trucks they owned. And Brian, that's a cool photo but... I see that truck and can't help but think it belongs in a bad horror movie with a way-too-happy clown painted on the side. Tickles is in town. Gather your children and lock the door.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Every time I see these old photos I can't help but wonder if some of these very trucks are owned by our forum members today!

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Here's an interesting one. Presumably new Chevrolet trucks at what's left of the Roseburg, OR Chevrolet dealership after a truckload of dynamite exploded.
One of many pages of the disaster: http://www.cityofroseburg.org/visitors/1959-blast Movie of parts of town after damage (there's at least one AD in the footage): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbFz...x=0&playnext=1 Last edited by 1project2many; 03-15-2020 at 06:30 PM. |

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Brian: that photo looks like the cars are right hand drive - maybe Holdens? so is that Australia?
The Mc Donald's photo looks like 3 Chevys & 2 Mack's - looks like a bulldog on the hood. Last edited by nvrdone; 03-15-2020 at 01:14 PM. Reason: add |

Holy crap! Yep, it's stuff like that where the rules get changed alright! "What could go wrong, what's the big deal?" That right there is what can go wrong!
