#87487 Is that really the wiener mobile holding its own against that rail.

 

Never happened... (The rail is the Kent Fuller-built C&T Automotive Stellings and Hampshire Red Stamp Special, Cover of Hot Rod, Feb. 1965)

 

I took this photo recently...not vintage...but is shows a Studebaker wagon from the 1870's at Fort Union, New Mexico. The US Army bought hundreds of these wagons to service their forts in the Southwest. They were painted blue and had the word "Studebaker" printed on the side below the driver.

Packard (& Merlin) Engines:

A truly fascinating documentary on the history of Packard (& Merlin) engines from the early 1900's up to and including WWII.

Definitely with sound: (20-minutes long. Watch when you have the time and access to a full size screen.)
