If those are factory Bob, somebody should be fired. Most people don't realize that the XK series car was intended for America so there are 10 LHD cars for every RHD car. This is a rare RHD.

Like those people that rent a storage unit for thousands a year to store their old furniture and mattresses in that's only worth is how much a trash man will charge to haul it away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Harper Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Its amazing how fast road construction technology advanced prewar. Granted, a 6-7 cubic yard capacity may not sound like a lot when compared to a modern 14 yard dump truck but compared to the average 2-4 yard hard rubber tired dump truck of the day, it was quite an advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert G. Smits Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Another from the box of photos I recently discovered labeled “family photos”. I wish I had some family history to go with them. Notice the group standing across the fence watching. Must be a local race or speed event. Edited June 17, 2021 by Robert G.

ericmac Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 While not period, this is certainly an old photo. It is a photo of my Cadillac at a car show circa 1965 according to the date on the back. I have to thank the previous owners granddaughter for sending it to me. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
