Brother Geezers: Look at these!
Somebody sent these to my brother and he forwarded them to me.
After looking at them I can't decide whether I want to grin or cry.
Is that what they call "nostalgia"?

Sorry, friends.
Jane can't things to work either. She feels like we might have a glitch on this end.
I guess I'll have to call in the pros.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

I had posted these pictures on another Forum last week with similar viewer commentaries. The one thing that has gone un-commented upon are the trailers. I'm intrigued by the various shapes, especially the art deco based designs. Quite a contrast to the totally utilitarian ones we see today.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

Thanks, Uncle Bob!
I don't know what I did to PO our computer. It won't even show me the ones you so kindly posted.
I guess I can't claim age discrimination because you gentlemen can see them. Anyway, our card-carrying geek son-in-law will be in town for Thanksgiving and I'll have him sniff out the problem.
And you're right about the trucks. I want the Studebaker.

on another note.
Those were some tough old truckers. The roads were horrible, the trucks were underpowered, the rpm range insanely small, and the transmissions were difficult to use at best.

Those pictures look really nice love the black, and white. It's like Ansel Adams nice work.

Awesome, I will put 5 quarts in when the time comes. I've always used Valvoline, what viscosity would be recommended for So.Cal.?, and thanks again
