Nice - I see them. Thanks for helping out!

Coolest thing is that I lived in Burlington from 1972-1974 for my Fathers job. You could fly to Burlington on Ozark Airlines prop planes. The airport wasn't big enough for jets then. Simple times.

I am betting this is the Corner of Main and Court Streets in Burlington, Ia

Sadly nothing is there now.

Great color shots 60-66, thanks for sharing! The rim color on the '61 burb has got me puzzled

**60-66** · 12-11-2016, 02:36 PM

These photos , some of them , were colorized . Same photo is a couple pages back in black and white as original. Some seem much sharper also. What do you see on the rim Factorystock ?

Its funny that we look back on this time as nostalgia, when most of the folks were looking toward the future with anticipation. Route 66 was in its heyday - and most could not wait for the MODERN 4-6 lane interstate to push on through.......Go Figure.

BUT folks back then mostly had the same problems we got, only not so much in debt I think and of course our Country was king of the world back them too.....

It appears to be a C 20 in the main photo (post # 1126). Taller stance, round rear axle housing and hubcaps protrude outside of rims.

unfortunately don't have any older pictures of our family farm truck that we could find..

these are only about 15 years old but they capture the spirit I think..

common sighting around the farm doing chores

peeking out of its summer parking spot in the quonset hut

I thought they were talking about the one in Leggett, CA that fell.
Chandelier Tree in Leggett, CA
Not to be confused with the other Shrine Drive Thru Tree in Myers Flat, CA
Or the other other Tour-Thru Tree in Klamath, CA
Or the tunnel log
Or the Pioneer Cabin Tree
Or the original drive-through tree made famous in photos of Yosemite National Park, which toppled under a heavy load of snow in 1969.

Lokin4AReason · 01-11-2017, 10:27 AM

such an awesome thread .... keep them coming

For the record it was the Pioneer Cabin tree in Calaveras Big Tree State Park that fell recently.

There is a "Gateway Chevrolet" in Fargo but I am not familiar with the area.
