That’s a cool old photo I’d guess early 80s w that scoop but still
Has the old school Lakewood race bars on it. Keystones and the formula tires. Most items suggest 70s but not sure that scoop was that old. Be interesting to know the year of the picture . Could still be mid 70s I guess, didn’t remember that particular scoop being popular til early eighties, Either way great picture

Loved those Formula 1 Super Stocks, great look but crap for wear so as a kid which ones did I buy? Eventually swapped entire rear out for Chevelle 12-bolt 4.11 posi and then added full ladder bars in, those things were crazy solid. |

This is what I work with every day for the last 35 years. Everything from a 1 ton benchtop press to a 3000 ton body panel press. Everything from 5 "strokes" per minute to 2000 SPM. Press technology hasn't changed much since that photo. Only in the last few years servo motors are driving the "ram" directly vs old the motor/flywheel technology. The real advancements have been in safety and automation (that's what I do) ,
The masses have no idea the number of things that they use every day that are made on a stamping press. |

One of the Futureliners was restored on Bitchin Rides. My favorite series of theirs. Had to cost a fortune but it turned of very cool, IMO.

There was one at Norwalk a few years ago. Could see inside of it. Pretty cool vehicle. Probably have some pics of it somewhere.

It looks mostly like a bus from the outside, but maybe they were more of a limousine.
Will read the wiki article later on, Thanks |

That was probably about 15 years ago I went and sat in it it was very cool. The one on BR I have heard was like 1 million to restore.
