Re: Random pictures that you did not take.

Reading the comments some one says San Fernando, one sign advertising a car dealer I can make out also says San Fernando. I also noticed the power poles with all the old glass insulators, I had a whole collection of them when I was a kid. Think I got a couple left somewhere. |

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
I really enjoyed that. Lot's of free enterprise going on back then. I couldn't help but wonder what's with the space case in the Ford straddling both lanes? ROAD HOG!

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
That must be it. That would explain why no horn honking or fist waving was going on, because they saw the camera car. I was disappointed they cut that first clip just as that cool late-30s Chevy was coming better into sight. Might have been an early mild custom. Cool stuff to watch! Lots of Chevys. Great film quality

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
I don't think I saw any vehicles newer than 49/50. A bit earlier than the title

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
Reminds me of my BiL's father who needed grain to feed his dairy cows. 2 tons of grain in the bed of his 3/4T truck. It was sitting on the bump stops, and he stopped by the shop to get a tarp to keep the grain from blowing and spilling all over the road. I bet he drove it 5 mph all the way to his farm. smh

Got wood? Reminds me of one time I went down to the rock crusher for $2.00 a load for 3/4 minus rock and the front end loader guy loaded me all the way up and it ran over the sides and tailgate.. This was my 65 Chevy short /wide bed 1/2 ton and I drove it slow up a long hill ( 3 miles)to home and made it with out splitting my rims ... .. I have no idea what that load of rock weighed ,, any one know by my deminsions of the bed I stated ?

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
Ooooh. That reminds me of a guy who loaded up his 1/2 ton pkup with logs. It snapped a rear axle shaft and turned upside down in the middle of the highway.

Re: Random pictures that you did not take.
That 4wd is sitting mighty low! Are they trying to haul it or store it off the ground, I wonder. Poor truck.
Reminds me of an old place I was helping an old HS friend renovate. He had gathered a crew of flunkies for the general labor, such as gutting and clearing the plaster debris away. I told him he needed a dumpster but what do I know? They show up with a '78 F150 and backed it to the front porch so the debris from upstairs could slide down the tin porch roof into the truck. First of all, OUCH!, from the dropping of heavy debris one story. Didn't manage to break the back window, but down at the truck I was looking at the rear bumper on the ground. Gave me a good chuckle. Made more work for themselves a bit. Somehow this was a better idea than a dumpster

Yeah buddy! Steel belted Gators are known to do some major damage to some passenger cars.
