WW...great bunch of cool stuff today!.

What a clean '52 delivery...you guys ever seen the Canadian Ponchos on this body style?.

Love the '61 Post...tops of my wanted list for years 2'nd only to the Canadian Chevy powered '61 Poncho Strato..

Sorry if wrong on the others but the older Chevy a '48, the 442 rag a '71, the two older 442's are both '65's...looks like a '68 in between the white '65 and the Vista?.

Love the GM 'old look' city transit bus...these were in most towns across North America and I used to ride them as a kid in Oshawa & Toronto..
The bigger bus is the famous 'new look' GM "Fishbowl" which first appeared in '59 and still operating in many of our citys...still a couple in the active fleet here in Peterboro' Canada and I've been onto our local Transportation guy for a couple years to save at least one before it's too late..

Hey Dog, any good news on that '67 SS yet?.

And on long threads like these, I'm not missing some way to make the most recent page appear first am I?.

I had the same flashback when I saw those buses. Both types were prevalent in the '60s and '70s in the SF East Bay, used by AC Transit. I rode them all the time! Fare was 10 cents when I was a kid and went up to 15 cents during my high school years '76-'80. I can still hear those deisels climbing the hill behind my house and the brakes howling on he way back down.

No news on the '67 - waiting for the caretaker to get hold of the Mom - he say's he wants it out -
but from the looks of that yard - he doesn't seem to be in any hurry!

The posts I haven't read are highlighted and pop up first for me - (don't ask me how though!)

Here's another shot of the sedan delivery -

Keep on 'em Dog...before someone else finds it!.

On the long threads, are you saying your computer takes you to the last page or just the thread?.
After clicking on the thread itself, I have to click on the furthest right number before the show-all and keep doing this so it goes by ten pages at a time until reaching the end, then on the final page..
I can't help hoping there's a better way...anyone???.

That delivery's sure a sweet unit...the color looks the same as a '67 Chevy truck I bought for parts back in the 70's..
I always remember it as driving home it was leaking brake juice and I stopped and pissed in the master before it hit bottom...sorry if anyone here ended up w/ it and bled the system later!.

Here's a link w/ a pic of a Canadian Pontiac Delivery...hope it works..

It highlights any thread I haven't read, shows the number of posts I haven't read on that thread, and clicking on it will bring me to my first unread post. still

When I was about 14 we stayed the summers up in the mountains in Stormville NY. There was a '57 Ford 2 dr V-8 post in the barn that I had to get running. It had no fluid in the master so I filled it will the only fluid I had - 30 wgt oil. Then I dragged it to the top of the hill with the tractor and off I went. It was an automatic so it didn't fire up until about 35 mph. Trying to stop to turn around I jabbed the brakes and the car made an instant right turn into one of those NY stone fences!

That's the way it works for me too Dog. I wonder why it might be different for some people?

Believe me, I'm no computer guru.

BTW, that '61 Biscayne post looks like a 6cyl car to me by the emblems.

I think you need to click on your profile, or 'My Home' and look for a way to change your preferences. There should be a way.

Those 53 and 54 Pontiac wagons and deliverys sure did have pretty tail lights. Fit perfectly on 53-54 Chevys.
