41chevy Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 I was amazed some one would toss his autographed photo in the bin! I picked up a book years ago on Torpedo Squadron Eight by John Gaye, the sole survivor of it. Autographed with a note to the book owner. No one seemed to care who he was. Had a book signed by JFK in June of 1963 given to all the families of the USS Thresher, I ended up giving it to the daughter of one of the Civilian Techs on it when it went down. Gave away a lot on money on the book and autograph, but it was the only tie she had of her father, she was 2 when it was lost. Feeling good about that is worth more than any money IMO.First batch is all Hudson parts on way to factory.

macks4me Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 What it would be to go back in time as the pictures remind us how simple and good life was. It would be neat to slow down and enjoy life that way again.

Mike Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 wonder what that thing with the egg shaped wheels is for?Oh! ......it's just Rob, and one of his many Mack's that has been modified for radar operations.

Mike Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Hey, I believe I see some oil coming out of that. I hate it when they lose a contact lens when I'm ready to launch.

Mike Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I ordered one of them wheel squeal 8 track tapes today.Yeah man. I needed one when I had my first car. It was a 1966 Comet with a 200 ci 6 cylinder, 3 speed on the fly back in 1971. It would spin the tires when it rained or in gravels, only. mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30809-vintage-pics/page/3/#findComment-179625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
