Vintage shots from days gone by!

Great pix, Zoom. And you're one of the few today who knows Buddy was the FIRST choice to play the Tim Man in the '39 Wiz, too. He had to bow out for Jack Haley when he found in tests that the powdered aluminum in the make-up was way uncomfortable on his skin.

I'd guess this is a real '65 396, one of 2157 built.

 

Wow!
Now that you mention it, there IS a car in that picture.
How did you see it?

 

A lot of these shot seem to be from Florida.

 

What a depressing place to work. I wonder what their paint jobs looked like.

 

Looks like they just put out a fire, the Caddy looks a little scorched!

I went back and found the caption for it. Doesn't say if it's a Power Wagon, a lot of military contracted equipment had to meet the same specs back then so hard to tell what it is:

• Second Army Tennessee Maneuvers. 3 miles west of Watertown. As an addition to the battalion's defense, HQ Co. of the 5th Armed Maint Bn developed an idea thought up by Ordernance Sgt. Magazine. The 37mm gun is the only field weapon alloted for the battalion's defense. To increase firepower, a 50 cal. Machine gun was mounted on the front of the 37mm gun vehicle. All parts were made and mounted by HQ personnel. (6 Jun 43# Signal Corps Photo)​
