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
Undoubtedly 1 or 2 are. It would be absolutely awesome if it were possible to know, but it isn't.

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!

Like when there is a half naked lady in the photo take your eyes off the Hemi motor and hot rod, there is an AD in the back ground.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Only two possibilities: Someone intentionally burned alive OR a utility worker accident.
Since there is a rope or cable around the person's waist with his back to the timber I'd tragically guess the former. This is WAAY beyond tragic racism. This is terrorism, mayhem and murder. Ugly as human actions can possibly be.
