I don't think I'd trust my life to whatever is holding that up (chain hoist?) but it would sure be a handy way to undercoat/rustproof your car.

Perhaps a Lincoln-Mercury person can chime in here, but I seem to recall this era (1955-1956) of Mercs and Lincolns had a self-lubricating system under the car. The driver could push a button on the dash, and a series of tubes located under the car would grease all the necessary joints and bushings. Back then it was all about automation, and performing a lube job from the drivers' seat was something pretty cool. Not sure if that's what they're servicing here, but I had these other pics that seemed to focus on the self-lubrication system.

That photo smacks more of engineering than maintenance.

All those tubes and fittings moving along with the suspension......Exposed to road hazards and the elements.......Nothing could go wrong there.

Does anyone know anything about VW buses? I don't recall ever seeing this style with glass windows in the roof area. I wanted to tag this photo with a year.

I think they're called the Samba Bus. One sold last year for over $100k. They had 23 windows IIRC.
very early 60's I think.

The models closest in the picture is a Samba type 2 bus. If you look closely you can see pick-ups and other models. If you ever had to work from a pick up the VW were the best work truck. Able to drop down all sides or take them off you could have a flat bed in a matter of seconds and can load or use a fork lift from it's three sides. Plus the bed is bigger than 4'X8". Early 60's photo. Last edited by U47; 01-29-2016 at 02:08 PM. |

Question: In the third row (or second row facing the camera), are some of the headlights missing, or is that some sort of VW special headlight?

Here's a street shot that has quite a few Pontiacs. I think I count 5 total, but there may be more.
