  4. Great thread. Just think how wonderful it would have been if all those vintage photos could have been shot in color. I guarantee that some of those paint schemes were gorgeous!

    Toby, I'm sure you're right. Too bad we can't see them!

    That Miller bubble look'in thingy is wicked cool! I'm surprised you don't see any of those around somewhere. They're too cool to crush!

  10. Here's some pics of "Streamlined" Beer Trucks ... culled from a Hemmings Blog (written by HAMBr Foul) entitled "Where did all the streamlined beer trucks go?:

    And another circa early-1900's Packard
    beer hauler- this one owned by "Fred
    Baurenschmidt's American Brewery
    "!
    Just saying a long name like that is a
    mouthful and makes me thirsty for a
    brew!:D
