Wagons in vintage Street scenes

Believe it or not, I wouldn't mind having the blue one in the foreground. A Jeep 4.0L with a Dodge truck auto OD would be a cool restomod.

 

In CB lingo, they were The Pregnant Rollerskate.

Oh, man, AYCE spaghetti for 99 cents? I'm there!

 

Hey! Chicken Delight! my dad worked back there when he was a young man in the 60's, funny story...
They had two choices for delivery, their truck you'd get paid .25 cents a delivery, or your vehicle you'd get paid .50 cents...oh and you had to wear the uniform, a white lab coat.
Usually on local orders you'd use your own vehicle since you got paid more, even though you had to pay for gas maintenance and all that.
Anyway he gets a call for a delivery pretty much at the outskirts of their delivery range... so he decides to take the truck, well hes out there and its kinda windy, but mostly a low fog (like a horror picture), so the chicken on the truck keeps bouncing back and forth and he gets out to this lonely stretch of winding road, and the darn bird falls off!
So he turns the truck around and tries to find the chicken with the headlights, he finds it and parks, aiming his headlights at it. He gets out of the truck with his lab coat on, and he had thick glasses and looked a lot like Buddy Holly, and he's dragging this giant chicken off the road, and trying to get it in the back of this truck in this foggy weather... and this lady passes by with this wide eyed look on her face probably thinking he's some sort of mad scientist collecting his giant chicken experiment!

 

I remember on vacation at Wisconsin Dells which is in Wisconsin. We saw signs on a nice restaurant for spaghetti for like 99 cents or less. We each got a plate of plain naked spaghetti. I complained and the waiter told us sauces and meatballs are extra!
There was another place we ate often with a 99 cent or under complete breakfast. They were always busy.
Of course burgers at the arch were 15 cents and gas 29.9.
