Anyone notice the Lic. plate in this photo from Evel's post? Alberta, yes? Years ago I scored a large jacket-patch from a "jalopy club" based out of Sechelt, British Columbia, it is also dated 1952. Found it in a junk shop in a neighboring town. Further proof that the canucks were in it from the early days. Great pics, great thread. Thanks guys.
This should qualify as a "cool old Picture"---it is the first hotrod I built, in either 1965 or 1966, Can't remember which now.----Brian from Barrie, Ontario
I know its not pics but you gotta check out these videos of the old NY State firemens drill competions. They're still going strong today www.nysdrillteams.com/memories/may05/0505.htm
Pretty cool! In "Part 5", there are multiple shots of a Shoebox being used for a fire truck?! It appears to have had it's trunk lid removed to make it a "pickup".
