I love B Models, especially B-61s with a quadraplex. This photo hurts.

Most of Dean's "drinking" was an act, he wasn't much of a drinker according to family. According to one son: " Dad usually had a J&B scotch and soda he nursed through the performance. It was almost always a weak scotch and soda. Other times it was just apple juice." It sure was a great act. Don't know about Gobel's drinking but he was a funny guy.

and now mack is owned by volvo and the richlands plant pumps both makes out of the same line and a lot of the old school of mack owners/ drivers/ fans think the new macks have lost that tough edge the older ones had. meanwhile i see lots of fleets turning to KWs (even lindsay fox, who had sworn hed never buy one again at one stage due to shabby treatment by the company)
not an old photo, but one of his old trucks. he does have a few of them from over the years, recently saw an old international pulling a triaxle dry van down fitzgerald rd to laverton, where many of his operations run from

We saw Flash Gordon(they put the serials together) and Eastside Kids(Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall, et al) movies there around 1953 at one of my grade school friend's birthday party on a Saturday afternoon. I didn't realize the theater was still there. Thanks.
