Man some real classic buttes there Cederq. Two things.
1 A friend of mine bought a Hudson like the one in the movie cars for his son when he turned 16.
2 When they tell you your mail was lost in a fire, you’ll know why. Only the goobermint supports a loosing program they helped force on the people.
Why was mass CNG cars never supported? Not enough grift.
Beaut’s, dammit Siri.
I was wondering how many mirrors are going to be smacked off by the drivers? Fires, a new excuse for the postal service. I suppose we are gonna have to take out fire insurance on our packages…
What is that orange thing?
Some kind of concept truck that was developed. Not sure of the manufacturer.
Who else had milk delivered in a truck like that and aluminum box on the front step?
Grandma’s house in Detroit had a two way milk door in the kitchen. She’d put an order slip, some cash, and any refillable milk bottles in from her side and the Milkman would put whatever milk, eggs and butter she ordered from his side. That house is still standing among all the chaos of Detroit. She would also call down to the local grocer with an order and he’d send a boy over with her order boxed up in the cartons that goods were delivered to the store in. No plastic or paper bags, everything got re-used. So Grandma was doing on (phone) line ordering, home delivery, and recycling before any of these Climate warrior snowflakes were even thought of.
*raises hand*
Do you think the USPS has a procedure for when their electric truck catches fire? How do they save the mail or do they let it all burn.
Just asking for a friend.
They’ll call the fire dept. and hope their electric fire truck is charged up….
The pickup listed as a ’71 is either a ’69 or a ’70 model. The ’71 &’72 grills were different from the earlier models.
The work truck I drove in early ’70s was a ’47 Chev 2-ton flatbed. Supporting a cable tool B-E 24L drill rig mounted on a ’44 ex-mil GMC 6×6. The owner’s Grandpa’s 1st truck mounted drill rig in CA was on a ’15 REO with wooden spoked wheels.
Nice collection of pics.
Ah, those International Cornbinders.
Hated ’em, had to drive them from missile site to missile site.
The old Borden truck sure brought back memories as a kid!
