I don't know how "vintage" that transporter picture is. Those trailers look pretty modern to me.

Looks like a Cosworth Vega on top. Probably a load of used cars being moved.

Cool

Note the dual quad manifold on the "hoisted" George Follmer Mustang engine
take-out @ the "sanitary" pit conditions*


*paving was actual upgrade from dirt and gravel pits

My dad built and maintained the die that made those grilles (Chevrolet Flint Manufacturing - Pressed Metal Division).

Back then you could earn extra money by submitting ideas into the GM Suggestion Program. They had a lot of problems with the male portion of the punch breaking off and running scrap.

He made enough money through suggestions to pay cash for our new '69 GMC pickup.

Another "reverse order" from mfg via Southern Pacific to dealer distribution. And what a beautiful scenic image as a bonus!
