Pictures from the old days?

I wish we still used those. They were in circulation when I started driving in 96. So easy and simple, especially for the customer. The worst ones we had were the bilingual ones. Bad enough when they cram so much info on the ones now but the bilingual ones were an inch taller and crammed with all the info TWICE!! Sucked!!

Sorry to jump off track. Did you know the driver that got in that really bad accident in your district. I was told it was in your bldg. If so is he ok.

Somebody has to have a picture of my favorite car, the old P-400. How about an old international square P-300?

If it was this week then I have no knowledge of it yet as I have been on vacation. I will find out tomorrow though. I'm surprised on one would have let me know though. My informants are usually pretty good about that stuff.

Those pics bring back some memories. One of my first was the 49000 4-cube with the selection tray. Bulk head closed only on the highway or when I left the car for lunch. No governer or emissions on the motor......it would fly. Shook a little above 85. Drove a couple 65000 4's too. Wish we had bumpers like that now for the idiot cell phone drivers.

​I checked with some people already here and it was not at HARPA. It was somewhere else in the district. Not sure where.

I'd rock that low rider any day.

When I started going with my future wife in "1970" I had a 57 Chevy Panel Van similar to that one--------------and yes we rocked it quite frequently.

It happened in early march week ending the 9th. Truck was so bad all was left was the tires, frame and the seat.

Wow, love info notes with the call center number right there in big print at the bottom of the note. What a crazy idea that was!

Here are a few things I've collected over the years. Anyone remember this hat? Or the stick pins from the 50's? The pin of the UPS man was given out around the 50 year anniversary of UPS (so I've been told).

The first one is what we called the P-300. Although I think ours were Internationals. So it probably isn't the exact same car.
The second is an older P-400. At least to me. The ones I used to drive were Chevys. They were a bit more longer with the front
end being a bit rounder. Basically it was shaped like a bullet on wheels. I think they were from the late 60's.
Great pics though. Thanks.
