5219 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Isn't it interesting to see those T-Birds with blackwall tires and dog dish hubcaps? How many look like that today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock_steve Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 That cab on the T-Bird hauler appears to be 48-52 ford and the Ellingson panel truck at the Connecticut show is a 34 Ford.Thanks for that info Dave. At the time I got to taking those photos, it was late in the day, and I don't remember seeing any windshield identification card on the vehicle. The fellow who owned it, however, was a real nice guy and was pleasant to chat with. I think I recall his saying that he came down from around the northeast corner of the state to participate in this shoreline event. Evidently the museum was one or two owners ago in the truck's life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bill murray Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Thanks from me too, Dave:I thought it a bit odd that Flagship Fords would be hauled by a Dodge truck but IIRC, that was the way it was captioned. Looking closer, I see the Ford resemblance in the cab area.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That particular truck was from Minnesota, I'm surprised it's in Connecticut now. I found this page on the net. ELLINGSON CAR MUSEUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30DodgePanel Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Thank you 30DodgePanelI liked this several days ago, but likes have been removed and can no longer post.I seen it before the likes disappeared, your welcome. Thank you sir for continuing on this thread. I have not been checking on this thread much lately so I had to go back and get caught up to what I've missed and I couldn't help but realize some things. I hope it's ok to share some brief thoughts with everyone.1.) I hope we all realize the significance of this historical documentation all in one place here in this thread. There is much history and knowledge regarding these classics that I dare say may not have been realized when this thread was introduced. As Bill Murray has reflected with appreciation it just shows the impact this kind of thing makes in peoples lives. The memories are fun and the trucks are cool but the historical significance is incredible if you just take a second to let some of these shots sink in. The photography ??? Well, sheer brilliance for so many reasons but the work of some of these photographers was incredible and I know we can all agree that without them, we would not be able to enjoy. After all,,, many of these trucks have been lost forever so a kodachrome is all we have. 2.) As a business owner, what really stands out to me as I browse through these pages is that these trucks all take on a form of personality for many reasons. I'm sure the owners of each of these business's enjoyed these vehicles as much as we do, whether it be for the lines and classic look, or the practicality of what type of truck to use for they're particular business needs. Maybe I'm over thinking this but I have been overwhelmed as I browse these pages with utmost respect for those business owners who have gone before us because of they're foresight, simplicity and extravagance at times, all seemingly true time capsules of days gone by. I for one greatly appreciate everyone's contributions to this thread and hope to see it continue to grow. The knowledge and history in here is incredible if you study the photos. Not to mention it provides key answers to those of us who are restoring these old trucks and helps provide answers that have been hidden for years in some cases.Back to the trucks. Here is a early LA Times truck I found on a Hemming's Blog. It states "Dating from 1901, this photo depicts an early delivery truck for the L.A. Times".

Now we are just print images and glue it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]214055[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]214056[/ATTACH]Used to be done by hand by sign painters in most cases, these guys were true artists in my opinion. Spent a few summers with an uncle doing billboards off of I-35 between Cameron and Bethany Mo, he was well known in several states and would be able to letter a truck in 1-8 hours depending on the complexity of the business signage. Billboard signs usually took us 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
