Camp Century was built underneath the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet in 1959 by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The project was designed to create a network of mobile nuclear missile launch sites in Greenland, almost an entire underground city, with bars, theaters and other buildings.

Camp Century, Greenland was an American Cold War era under-ice base designed for research and development. It hosted the first nuclear reactor used for energy production and part of the Army Nuclear Power Program.

One of the highlights was the use of the R.G. LETOURNEAU Overland Train to bring in supplies.

Top picture was taking at Old Towne Cruise night in Kissimmee Florida. I saw the car there up till 2022, I noticed it because it had Ontario plates on it. I saw it for sale in 2022 on Kijiji in Ontario...

I'm not much of a second gen fan, but I'd drive that loud and proud car... I really like bright Yellow and that one just jumps off the page at me.

FTC’s New CARS Rule Could Save Car Shoppers $3.4 Billion Each Year

Quote:

You've heard the stories (or experienced it yourself): car dealers piling on junk fees, baiting-and-switching shoppers, and selling seniors unnecessary add-ons. All of these tactics will be illegal under the new FTC CARS Rule.

Combating Auto Retail Scam (CARS) prohibits dealers from misrepresenting their prices. The rule specifically looks out for military service members, whom dealers often target.
The Federal Trade Commission started talking about this new rule in 2022, but it won’t go into effect until late summer 2024.
Quote:

Specifically, the CARS Rule stands on four main legs: (1) Dealers cannot misrepresent a vehicle's price; (2) Dealers must "clearly disclose" the actual price someone can pay for the car; (3) Dealers cannot charge consumers for add-ons that don't provide a benefit; and (4) Dealers must get a buyer's "express, informed consent before charging them for anything."

It appears the rings are left off and the wheel is polished, which I like better.

You may be right. The rears seem a little wide, too, so perhaps they went to a 15" set up.

We used those photos (and some really poor home movies) to create this "hero card" for dad's 63 Super Duty, for discussion purposes, since there are no good photos that exist.

Wangers did three of these cars in that paint scheme (that I know of): a silverleaf green car, a white one for Jesse, and our car in Nocturne blue.

We think maybe he was building the blue car as his own driver and Jesse sold it out from under him to dad. Jesse had a habit of doing that, apparently.

Yes - that is true.

I don't recall if Arrowhead was/is making them or not.

On August 8, 1969 on a street in north-west London and almost directly outside a celebrated recording studio,one of the most famous ever album covers was shot. Photographer Iain MacMillan took the image that would adorn the cover of the brilliant new record named after the street where he stood,Abbey Road.
The first photo taken,by Linda McCartney shows the moment when Paul leaves his slippers on the wall next to George.Then Paul walks the Abbey Road zebra crossing barefoot.
