Re: Vintage picture thread
That's an impressive collection of sheet metal, but I couldn't help wondering what holds that structure up. I see bracing above the Texaco sign, but I see no bracing on the end next to the street.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Just a guess, but I would say New York or perhaps Chicago. I want to see the device or lift to put those cars up there.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Mom, Sis and myself on vacation down the California coast, summer of 1969.
My Dads 1967 GMC 3/4Ton 3 OTT. ![]() He bought the canopy from T&F Campers in Duvall, Washington. He then went to my Uncles wrecking yard and bolted down facing backwards, against the front of the bed, two VW bucket seats. ![]() Then he wired up an intercom between the cab and canopy so we could talk and listen to the AM radio. I remember how hot and miserable I was in back with my sister, who would constantly go out of her way to drive me crazy! ![]() ![]() |

Re: Vintage picture thread
Camaro Pace Car Heaven! The trucks are maybe safety vehicles? I probably shouldn't admit this, but I had a chance to buy a '69 Camaro (Pace Car equipped) for $2400 at the dealership where I worked in '70. Man did I miss a bargain!

Re: Vintage picture thread
When I first met the gal I married in '82 she was a waitress. Another gal she worked with was daily driving a '69 Camaro Pace Car. Just an everyday car to her, obviously nothing expensive. I think she liked the colors.
The '71 Blazer I had in the early '80s. You see the '72 I also had in a coupe pics

Re: Vintage picture thread
Thanks for the info.
As for the Pace Car, I ended up with a '69 RS Camaro sort of similarly equipped; it wasn't a convertible and was orange with a black top. It was $400 less.

Re: Vintage picture thread
That's a great picture you have, for more than one reason.
This is my son who is now 30. We were camping at the beach on Edisto Island, SC

Re: Vintage picture thread
Here is a 66 I built around 35 years ago.
Sold it for big money (5500 bucks) back then. Probably had more in it.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Nice one. Yep, we used to put more into them than we could ever get out. The "investment factor" was non-existent. We did it because we wanted to.
Thanks Jiggers. I wish I still had it. I was second owner, bought in '88, and the original owner was obviously very meticulous. The graphics on the camper are aqua under the ochre. That's how it was when I bought it, which was from the owner's son after he had passed.

Re: Vintage picture thread
All original when I bought it. I put exhaust, wheels & tires, and a stereo in it. We made new curtains because originals were dry rotted, and had new cushions made throughout the camper. When we took it to the North Rim of Grand Canyon the lady who ran the campground even took notice and commented on it being the nicest one she had seen. And it spent it's life in PA! It really was a sweet truck and I miss it. I had it from '88-'04

Re: Vintage picture thread
We had a cabover camper growing up! While traveling in Canada and Northern US we used to put our butts up against the upper window and people would flip our parents off!!! My dad just thought it was because we were from California!!!
