Vintage shots from days gone by!

I'm 63. The first one I ever pulled was with a chain fall (keep the chains off the fenders) but it was my friends garage and he put a beam across at about the center of the garage so you would be mostly under cover.

 

Thank your uncle for me for his service.

 

That doesn't look like any US equipment I've ever seen but I know less than nothing about what exactly was loaned/leased.

 

You better hurry cuz it looks like shit when those photos were taken.

 

I could only go by the caption. Great photo though, it was certainly being tested.

Like you, my knowledge of Lend Lease is limited. My thoughts/guesses were, it would have had British, or even Canadian heritage.

Hopefully, someone will know and pass on the details.

 

It's one thing to want to keep an old car running and another to have to.

The 18th century horse cart with firewood (I doubt it's for a camping trip) tells the real story of 21st century Cuba.

 

Three ANTARS were used on the Snowy Mountain Scheme.

Originally, two petrol engined, they were converted to diesels, like the third one, and, sadly, were crushed when they were no longer required:

22 Vw's entered the 1956 Trial. (a VW driven by Eddie Perkins won that event):

That looks more like a CMP Truck.

 

I don't think those guys care about how it looks anyway..........

 

Geez...CHANGE THE DIAPER!

 

Two 'hot models' of the day!! (Hint - one
of the them is the super-rare Chrysler
'Town & Country' convertible!) Can
