Re: Vintage picture thread

Found another one of old blue. Kinda liking the blacked out grille and headlight bezels.
Hopefully I'll have a better way to get slides processed soon.

If you are referring to the photobucket pics, that's on photobucket's policies, not on this site.

Re: Vintage picture thread

This picture was taken somewhere in southern California in early 1973.

I bought that truck new, here in Arkansas.

I sold the truck in 1976, but the little cutie is still hanging with me and letting me buy 67 72 trucks.

Re: Vintage picture thread

From around 1990. My dad's 71 still had the original rockers. My dad wasn't a car show kind of guy, but my mother was, and she won a trophy at every show she entered.

BTW, he sold this truck in 1995 for $8,250. I still don't know why I didn't buy it.

I told the story one time about how vehicles would get lost out there, sometimes to the point that we would re-build a new vehicle with the same content and ship it in place of the original. The lost ones usually turn up at model changeover when production ceases and the repair backlog gets worked down.

I think that photo demonstrates how that might happen.

Here are the rest of the photos taken during that same shoot: http://www.73-87.com/7387info/Assembly%20Line.htm

A friend of mine bought an 87 Monte Carlo SS in late 1988 at a big dealer. He saw the car on the back of the lot from the Interstate. He asked about it and nobody knew anything about it. They finally found the file on it.

How about the 1980 model year when the economy tanked? I assume a lot lines were shut down. IMO, Chevy trucks were never the same since then, new era was all bout computers, aerodynamics and lightweight components.

That was probably true for passenger cars but was not my experience with trucks.

Through no fault (or planning) of our own we rode a wave of prosperity and growth up through the early 2000's. My theory is that as passenger cars got physically smaller (and less capable/durable) trucks and truck wagons moved in to fill the void.

Profitable truck products bankrolled all of GM up until the unpleasantness of 2008.
