Ugly as human actions can possibly be.

Movie scene? In any case, sorry I saw that ugly sight. Moderators please delete.

could have just been a simple house fire and poor person could have been asleep. Corpse is so light it needed to be tied to stretcher to move it without it falling off. Not racism. terrorism ect. IMHO. A tragic accident

Is that a Ford it's towing? There's another AD on the curb behind it.

that Mayflower rig brings back memories. in the 70's I Worked for a Mayflower agent on Oakland. We had a similar rig that was used in parades and other forms of advertising.

How about the bed? It looks like it's a short bed on a long bed frame? Or they simply lengthened the frame maybe?

That's pretty cool. AD Buses at 3:34 and more trucks at 4:36. Worth the look imo.

The film The Racing Scene is currently on available Amazon Prime. I watched it and it was a was pretty good documentary filmed in 1969 so lots of newer trucks, but I saw some AD's in the back ground.

De Niro defiling an AD by his presence? just his style.
