JohnD1956 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 9 minutes ago, Elpad said: I used to own a truck repair shop and I remember the dirtiest uniform belonged to the hardest worker. By the same token the cleanest uniform was wore by the man in charge of not so important endeavors, the story teller and do nothing golfer and that my friends could be the man standing in front of the pump. In my now line of duty, I can't profile... sorry I can't help it. Before I post this, I hope i'm not offending anyone, just saying. Outstanding historical picture! In my teen-aged years I worked in a gas station/repair shop and had the opposite experience. Everybody worked hard and did their job but when asked, the cleanest guy said: Hey, I make it a habit of wiping my work area and my tools during the repair. I won't even touch those other guys tools cause they never wipe em. A point well taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZRIV Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) Not sure what the issue is with the boy. I'll leave that up to your imagination. He probably took some riddling for years over it.

If I had a guess I would say the little dude needs to go to the bathroom but the excitement of the parade keeps him there doing his best to hold his bladder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thriller Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Interesting to compare this with memories of touring the Flint engine plant building the 3800.

Yes, I recall the line where Mildred bought her oldest daughter (the nasty one) a "new" car. The moving was filmed in 1945 so the new car was already 5+ years old.

So based on the time frame of the story, and not when the movie was made, the car was "new." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Roth Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 We drove by there last May after visiting with Mark Shaw and Joe Block. It was a total trip of 10,000 miles in 3 months , but not in our Buick - we drove our '54 Cadillac convertible. Multnomah Falls is an amazing thing to see!
