Detroit,Michigan This is one of the fleet of custom built dual flathead powered trucks Ford used to tranport bomber parts from Willow Run and other Ford factories during the war to the aircraft factories in the West.My dad,his 3 brothers and my mom all worked at Willow Run during the war.

 

I'd love to have one of those Corvette pushmobiles today!

The hottest car that had ever been on the streets of Richton, MS (pop. around 1500) in the very early 60's. My mother, now 91, swears she never burned 'em down-everybody in town says differently.

Oops! It's flipped-sorry.
