From detroit. I love this car. Since it's a 1954 model let's just say it's being loaded into an AD. :)

A bunch of cool cars in that photo!

It is strange (and somewhat unsettling) to me that this picture seems so familar and like just yesterday to me.

A dealership from here in my new town I live in.

I always think when I see these old photos, this could be one of our trucks!

WOW, she looks like she is just hanging out in the living room looking at her birthday card.

Just stopping by the tackle shop for some worms for the weekend of fishing after working two weeks without a break.

ok, martin, what did you do with the front suspension on the "birthday card" truck?????

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

LOL, and check out the paint on that truck, it looks like it was a week old!

This is a cool one.

Wait, isn't that a rerun??

Just an ad, but some still a cool truck depicted...

Awesome shots!

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

a few more

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

Nothing like a beer truck wreck to draw a crowd.

Plus one I came across. O'connor Moving had just about one of everything.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

Brian

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

Both of those photos are great. You can tell how long Oconnors was in business by the years of trucks they owned. And Brian, that's a cool photo but... I see that truck and can't help but think it belongs in a bad horror movie with a way-too-happy clown painted on the side. Tickles is in town. Gather your children and lock the door.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

LOLOLOL

Here's another cool one!

Brian

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

Every time I see these old photos I can't help but wonder if some of these very trucks are owned by our forum members today!

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

That is a cool thought for sure!

Brian

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

Undoubtedly 1 or 2 are. It would be absolutely awesome if it were possible to know, but it isn't.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

Here's an interesting one. Presumably new Chevrolet trucks at what's left of the Roseburg, OR Chevrolet dealership after a truckload of dynamite exploded.

One of many pages of the disaster:

Movie of parts of town after damage (there's at least one AD in the footage):

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
 

Brian: that photo looks like the cars are right hand drive - maybe Holdens? so is that Australia?
The Mc Donald's photo looks like 3 Chevys & 2 Mack's - looks like a bulldog on the hood.
