    #750 just above looks like it was taken at a 'Truck Rodeo'....

    Agreed. Although, that's, *ahem* 'roadeo.' My brother followed that stuff in the Seventies.

    This is a picture of the Santa Monica Dairy Company, and its trucks for the milk business, Edgemar Farms. I'm guessing the photo was taken possibly in the mid 30's...? This was well before my dad even arrived in America from England, let alone when he started working for the company in the early to mid 50's......
    EDIT: Apparently the photo indicates '1931'

    Yeah loved those flat Ford Cabovers. That Company is still in existence. They are headquartered in Scarborough, Maine.

    (The 'Orange Crush' truck....)

    I didn't realize that Orange Crush was that old. I seem to remember it being introduced to the Southern California market some time around 1960 or so....... (I love orange soda, so I was interested in these things). The big seller for us back then was Nesbitt's orange soda, and there was Orange Nehi. Sunkist Orange Soda didn't come along until the late 60's, IIRC.....
