I remember them all -- especially the drop side van. I looked at it like kids look at transformer toys.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
1958 Chevy was one of the ugliest cars ever made. Not too surprising Cadillac designed something this ugly and thought it would sell. I wonder why they didn't go through with it?

How about this dealership that collapsed. Don't have the story, but there was an AD on the roof, wild!

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
I was back in the 40/50's Ran a oil distribution That would be my grandfather and my dad and uncle.
Dad and uncle learned to drive in that tanker. I would be the III hence why I like the picture. always thought about getting a reo 1.5 ton and making a custom camper look like that on outside would be cool. |

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
This thread is supposed to be about OUR trucks - Chevy and GMC - but since it's my thread and I love old trucks an REO passes muster. Let's see more!

A luxury SUV was not on anybody's radar in the late 1950s. Luxury SUVs were not on MY radar, even when I joined the GM Luxury SUV group in 1999. (I was in engineering program management for the 2001 Denali and the 2002 Escalade). K

Good to know GM never had a designer that drew something THAT ugly! Lol
