When I saw the third photo I realized for the first time how cool those hoods are. I think that the two tone really makes it. For some reason it reminds me of a shark.

The second two photos were borrowed from the "MCKINSTRY PHOTO COLLECTION" on the HAMB - some photos taken on the dragstrip in the 60s....

From the second photo: I used to race here in Michigan with a gentleman named "Bob Snow". By then he was "Grampa Snow", running a Willys called "Willy do it". His son, also Bob, was also running a car by then (a T bucket). They were from Marlette Michigan.

Not sure what this couple was up to in 1971. I had already been drafted and was off doing my tour of duty, so I don't know what was going on back in the world.

That's Bill and Hillary Clinton sadly we know the rest of the story what they were up to!!!

My Grandfather did that with me a lot in the winter. Pulled me on a sled behind a 3 wheeler. I should have appreciated those times more but I certainly cherish the memories.

**special-K** · 03-23-2023, 09:29 PM

Did I ever show this one I had in '80? Flagstaff, AZ

Going back in time x2

forestb · 03-17-2024, 11:00 AM

It might be a x3 depending on what the third truck behind the tow truck is.

raylube · 03-17-2024, 09:39 PM

Cool!

Solid white, white grill, white bumpers, white hubcaps, RV mirrors, & radio delete. Maybe three speed trans. "E" California black plates- Exempt from taxes. Plate numbers 386xx. Probably all made at Fremont.

Only one wheel can be seen and it is WHITE. Shouldn't it be black?

Picture found on FB. States they are California Highway Patrol Motor Carrier Personnel ... at the Meadowview CHP Academy. The CHP’s Motor Carrier personnel, today known as Mobile Road Enforcement officers, conduct mobile commercial vehicle inspections, including maintenance and driver records, to ensure large commercial vehicles operate safely.

I have a 1966 C10 Suburban that was originally a CA state-owned vehicle. Originally it was identical to these except for being a Suburban, right down to the E plate. It has an "SPC" paint code although it appears to be 521 white. I have never figured out what was special.

that sure is a line of panel truck s

Heres a full picture of one . The wheels would have been black , yes ,but this being a Fleet order it could have been "Special Paint" in which it was painted a slightly different white and or just painting the wheels . Very cool pictures for sure !

I agree, and great photo. Note also, it has 3 piece 15"rims with tubes, that was the way it was done back in the day if you wanted the heavy duty set up.
