Luckiest license plate ever?
Lky 777 is the part that grabbed my attention, shame the first number isn't a 7 as well
Anyone recognize this delivery van from a Munsters episode background?
I don't recognize it, and don't have any guess...
Dave commented, "Looks to me like and English Thames pronounced "Tems". What do you think?"
You might be spot on Dave, I think you have it... but Chris looked it up on IMCDB.org and nailed it!
Chris commented;
1955-56 Dodge US. Mail truck, rare today, Body was by Fageol
This Dodge postal vehicle built with right hand drive and a flat-head six cylinder engine with a push-button automatic transmission. A decal inside, above the windshield, says: FAGEOL - Pony Express Twin Coach - Kent, Ohio, while a tag proclaims “Post Office #6-A-1101 - Model #C3 - C6 - 95.” A Dodge tag notes - 105 net Hp @ 3600rpm.” The wheelbase of the truck is 95 inches, and the rear door opens like a minivan hatch.
The Twin Coach Company utilized their body manufacturing facilities to produce these "Pony Express" vehicles.
From IMCDB.org
Why hasn't anyone done this with their Tbird? From the movie "Murderers Row" a Matt Helm movie with Dean Martin (sort of a Bond similar role)
Just putting an LED message board in the place of the tail lights, clever!
