That's what I was thinking...almost 60 years old.
I wonder if it was shot with the intention of corporate promotion use,later on.

Plus how about breaking up the old concrete with 10lb. sledge hammers and no eye protection.
When was the last time you saw some one cutting dimensional lumber with a hand saw?
...Or a construction site void of safety equipment,no hard hats or safety harness's.
They also used shovels for all of the digging and surface prep leveling.No Bobcats or front-end loaders for these guys.
One guy had a big pry bar and looked like he had plenty of experience with it.
