Vintage photo thread

Let's get away from problems and upgrades for a while and enjoy some vintage photos. Post 61 thru 66 trucks in their prime, sporting original coats of factory applied paint here. I'll start with this one.

Nice, in the first photo the car in the foreground is a 65 Impala, looks like a Valiant in the background.

I have other pictures of this truck, but this is a good one of Ernie next to his truck in the early years. Ernie has since passed on but the truck is owned by the current owner of the "Tin Room" Bar and Grill and still sports what I believe is the original paint job. I've known the owner of the Bar and Grill since Kindergarten.
