History VINTAGE CAR CARRIERS WITH PRE '65 AUTOS.

I remember seeing cars brought into town on carriers like these, HRP

 

If i see the 56 chevies again i'll throw up


What'cha got in there, kid?

 

I recall seeing these car carriers with FULLY TARP COVERED new cars, in the month of September, at new car announcement time.
Hiding new cars, until the formal new car announcement date, was a big deal, way back in the '50's.

Still sittin in the same old spot for the last 50+ years..............................................................................

 

That bottom pic with the load of T-birds... gotta admit that truck turns my crank, but then I really dig old big trucks. Obviously an aftermarket cab over conversion instead of the factory built cab forward. I like the windows in the panel they replaced the firewall with, function was a priority over form for sure. I want one!

 

As I have said in the past but I will say it again,with 1034121 members it is impossible to come up with fresh on topic material that hasn't been repeated numerous times.

I went back a viewed the 4 threads and noticed I had not commuted on any of the threads which leads me to believe that apparently I missed them.

I appreciate you taking the time to list the previous "Car Carrier" post and my faux pas. HRP

 

Dang, HRP, you must be an old fart like me.

You're welcome....

 

1956 Studes instead...

 

Like to see birds of prey in the snow? HRP

 

Huston.we have a problem. HRP

 

Danny: Some of the T-birds have small hubcaps?????

 

Then this probably won't help

 

1940 Ford DeLuxe Woodie on top. HRP

 

Sorry Danny
This should make up for it.

 

Our little one stop-sign town didn't see much truck transport traffic. But, Penn-Central had a mainline right smack-dab through the middle of it. We saw a lot of this:

And this:

There was a country store right by the tracks. We'd sit on the bench outside, swig on a cold pop, and wait for the next car show to come by.

 

Thinking outside the box? how about a auto carrier barge? HRP

 

A transporter with a plethora of 1963 Ford products I think.. HRP

 

Vertical transport:

 

HOTRODPRIMER, You seem to have asked a loaded question and you have all the Ammo ready. smileyface!

 

I'll take my Mercury double dipped please. HRP

 

It was just as ugly when viewed from the front:

 

Pretty sure this was already posted in another thread. The boys look to be on the happy juice.

 

"I'm sorry sir, no swimming in this lake - it's contaminated with Mercurys..."

 

Got it outta your system yet,now you can start over!

Actually I would be interested to know the back story behind this photo.HRP
