Man, I remember that one....so hot it blew the windows out! Ya....thats vintage.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

I remember that picture from when I was a kid. That was after Mt. St. Helens erupted. Great thread.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

From a trip my family took to Reno, when I was about 5 years old.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Is that a 66 charger behind him??

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Did you notice the marks in the ash, to the right of the truck, that the helicopter made when it landed to check the truck and the FOOTPRINTS leading from that point over to and around it ?

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Definitely was a set-up picture.

I don't have any from back when the trucks were new,have some pictures as old as the Mt Saint Helens one. I had this one when I lived in Flagstaff. I have others from the '80s

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Maybe a '64-'65 Chevelle?

I spy a fullsize Chevy station wagon parked next to the pickup. I miss my '75 Caprice Estate. Woodgrain sides and all. :metal:

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Nope it was a 64 Impala SS converitable he built while the trainer for Chevy in Charlotte NC.

Top right & middle mom's 68, I think after my brother bought it.

Left was my dad leaving for GM his first day.

Bottom my brother's wife sitting on the 64 SS in the drive way after my dad's picture.;):chevy:

Thanks a lot. Now I have to clean the drool off of my keyboard.

My dad got a new car every 3000 miles so he went through a bunch of cars. My mom got a new 67,68, and 69 camaro each year after he finished with them. Ned jarret of NASCAR bought one of them because we lived in Conover at the time.

That picture of my dad was in Yazoo Miss the day he left for Detroit Michigan. They gave him the car to drive to training when he took his position with GM. He had been working at the dealership in Yazoo at the time. They told him to pick out a car off the lot to drive.
Here is a shot of the 67 I think!
Bottom left, thats my sister and me standing there. if it's in 67 I was 7 years old.
Top row is of the little smoky camper they pulled with it to Fla every year. That's my mom in the first one and both of them in the other one in front of the house in Conover NC.
The one with all the trailer is after my brother bought it at his place back then.

Right after this pic was taken the duke boys came flying through and jumped the mound of dirt then rosco flipped his car. I know its off topic but thats the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this pic. I have no life.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

This is a great thread. I have enjoyed reading all of the responses and checking out the photos. I can almost imagine what it was like to be there at that time!

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

You notice the GMs are being transported by a GM, man what happened????

Love the thread though.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Looks like a roadrunner to me.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

It was quite common in the 70's to see a GMC, like that one, hauling GM cars and trucks - NOT ANYMORE !!!

AND, you reminded me of a picture I have of an "old GMC" taken in 1976.

My 1971 GMC Astro 95 - with a couple of Deere's instead of GM's !!!

NOW - who's going to be the first to ask: " How did you ever get out of that parking space " ?

Re: Vintage picture thread

#1 is the truck a 67 or 68 ?
#2 what is the car behind the wreck ?
#3 is the vinyl top of the 67 camaro peeled up ? or is the top buckled ?
#4 who's fault was it ?
#5 where is it ?

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Here's a '67 I had back when I was a kid working the rigs. Musta been about 78 or 79 or so. Those days are a little hazy now.

High School buddy-Clark had a 65 or 66 Galaxy convertable

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55...onvertable.jpg

One day, Jeff tried to pull Clark's Hi-boy Ford out of the mud with his Jeep.

He got it out, but the Jeep suffered.
