December 17th, 1960. Sterling Place and 7th Ave in Brooklyn after a TWA Super Connie and a United DC-8 crashed midair, one landing on Staten Island.

A little boy was the sole survivor from the DC-8. Those were the days when the new jets would descend for landing at high speeds below 10,000 feet (speed limit below 10 now is 250 knots) and I think the DC-8 ran over the top of the Constellation, also approaching Idlewild (now Kennedy) for landing.

I love this thread, and was quite surprised to see my old W31 in it. You must have got that photo from my Flickr site.
Here's another photo of it with slotted mags.

Did you work at a Pontiac dealer?

[StriperSS]

I worked at a lot of dealers, doing striping and other add-ons for new cars. This dealer was Carter Pontiac Buick in Burnaby, BC, my biggest customer. I was there almost daily. I did GM warranty decal replacement for the Trans Am hood birds and other large decals that body shops were afraid of.
I did that for a lot of the GM dealers in the Vancouver area in those years. Did a lot of the anniversary Corvettes too, as none of them ever came from GM straight.
