Vintage picture thread
 

Well that "Chevy Runs Deep" Commercial got me thinking. We all prolly have an old vintage glove box pic somewhere. Below is mine. Dad's 67 in the back. (The main reason I sought to find an original Stepside SWB to begin with) Im the one in the middle. Funny I think his was rotted worse than, then mine is now. Funnt how I dont remember that about it.

And since it inspired this thread here's the commercial again.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Here's a "vintage" picture - it's not mine and it's not quite what you're looking for, but it's one of my favorites that I have saved.

This thread is a good idea.

Lets see some more of our trucks when they were "YOUNG" !!!

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

For anyone interested in old pics, check out the HAMB. There is a thread called "vintage shots from days gone by" with nearly 1500 pages of really cool old pics.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Mr hafner you got anymore cool pictures like the tow one? I know I got some of the 60-66 on a train.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

I don't know anything about this pic, or were I got it.

Not vintage, but kind of neat. It was taken at my son's house quite few years ago

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Here is one I saved from a previous post.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Vectorit has a few good ones from when he was a nipper.

Some I saved......

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

One of My Dad, brother and me not long after Dad bought the truck

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Yep, have a few of me with my burb back when it belonged to my parents and I was a passenger sitting behind my Dad.

There are most likely more, but I have to go through a bazillion 35mm slides to find them that my Dad has at his home. One of these days...

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

4WD Suburbans are among the lowest total production of the models produced for the '67-72's.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Yep, mine is 1 of some 300 produced 1968 K20 burbs out there.
Still, most people could care less about them...

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Very cool!!!

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Here's the one with all the "oldies" on their way from the factory to their new homes and one of a "very old" one in the Sequoia National Park - and if I said that was my Mom, then I could actually use it in this thread. LOL

I just thought some people might not have seen these two pictures.

The only picture I have of a car when I was "little" is the day my parents brought home our 64 Mustang on April 16th 1964 !!! ( I was 11 )

Lets see some more of the "FAMILY" pictures like he asked for !!! They are great !!!

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

I care :lol:

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

This is somewhat vintage and it ended its life early ...

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Very Cool thread and Pics for sure!

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

Here's one more "vintage" picture - no FAMILY though.

It's title was: " Sixty-two's on the move" !!! ( I'll change it ) !!!

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

I LOVE this thread! Any one notice the Vette in Heafner's last post. NICE!!! Wish I had some pics to post.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

I think that was a "set-up" picture - all of those cars and trucks weren't made at the Saint Louis plant with that Corvette now, WERE THEY !!! LOL

I think they got them all together to show what Chevrolet was building in 1962.

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

I think it would have freaked me out backing that pickup up the ramps to the #1 spot on the carrier. I wonder how many fell off.

When I was in high school 30+ years ago, I had an ROP auto body class. There were a couple of cars there donated by GM for us to practice on, they had fallen off the car carrier. They were the Buick or Pontiac equivalent of a Chevy Nova, circa 1979. Rear ends crunched and folded under. We kids were all drooling at the power velour bucket seats, but the rules were strict. No parts could be sold, they were for instruction only. They also had carbs that looked like a Quadrajet, but were 2-barrels with the secondaries blanked off.

I don't think I have seen any new vehicles traveling by carrier for 20+ years. Is it still done?

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

My dad selling trucks back in the day!

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

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.

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

Re: Vintage picture thread
 

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.
