Thanks JYG! Good to know you're still here too!

Great pics! I really enjoyed seeing them and thinking about how car production and life in general was so different back then.

Not sure what you mean. I still see car carrier trucks just about every day. Maybe because I drive the PA Turnpike every day and the commercial traffic from the ports inland accounts for still seeing many of these carriers.

But you don't see car carriers shaped like those! That's what I meant. They have a unique look to them I think..

Did you guys notice in the first set of pictures, at the Caddilac employment window, on the wall is another sign that says, "Remember Pearl Harbor"....

And I thought R2 would appreciate a red pickup!:LOL:

Holy crap, Mike! I finally clicked on this thread and what a treat!!! Red pickup? Sure, why not!! I think I even saw my '37 on that assembly line pic!:LOL:

Don't know why but I've always loved assembly line pics of '59 Chevys being built.:HMMM:
