60FlatTop Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I was going through some old files and found this one of my '60 from around 2005. Kinda neat:The logical engineering choice.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

60FlatTop Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 I had to tow the toilet. The boiler was too big even for a Buick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick man Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Oh then that explains it all - Apparently you and the 60 were on rear guard detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I just LOVE it when they move huge things through the streets. As a kid they moved a lot of homes in my town, NORMAL, IL. and always enjoyed seeing such. Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 I still remember sitting in a checker board or Poka Dot restaurant on Main St. in Normal with my son commenting on the Normal Police car that drove by. That was pre-internet days and we had picked up a customer's Corvair convertible the night before in Peoria. It was July 5th, maybe 1995. My son was about 14. The day before Andy and I had flown into O'Hara and caught a 9 PM local flight to Peoria. That's a 14 year old, first time flying, under 30,000 feet, the 4th of July at fireworks time. You don't forget those trips. We took route 24 to Fort Wayne for the scenic ride. It was so hot we couldn't put the top down and I bought my first bottle of water- to wet my t shirt for cooling.I seem to remember a RT 41 Auto Sales with a '49 or 50 Caddie convert and a Panhard in a barn full of cars.Here's another shot approaching the plant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 That restaurant was probably STEAK n SHAKE. It was square panels of BLACK and WHITE. That was the original S n S, opened in 1934. I was born a block away along side SUGAR CREEK, which ran down beside S n S. I could see S n S out my bedroom window. Later we moved into a new home on North Main just out of town. The police used to come by chasing a speeding car, and as kids we would run out with a CHECKERED FLAG and flag them on. I bet they hated the Smith kids, all five of us, LOL.Oh, to good ole days, hehehe. Dale in IndyP.S. The things we five did as kids, well, I can't believe we survived. Thank the good Lord.
