A rare vintage photo of JazzBoy. This is his first emergency services vehicle. (As in, he got transported to the hospital via an ambulance soon after this photo was taken.)
And if you don't believe vehicle safety has improved in the past 50 years, imagine where the trailing edge of that hood would be in a more severe impact.
I listened to a Jimmy Kimmel snippet of how the some folks in California freaked out when it got to 42 degrees. If anybody from there came up to our neck of the woods while it's -15, I'd think they'd be DOA right when they step out the door.... :crazy:
not to mention the low that morning, without windchill... states -20 in the pic. TWC on the TV stated -24..... Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust a bit nipply.
I guess the Chief drove the Pontiac. Rank and file however got a Mopar which was good. If you were a little over weight the garage could crank up the tension on the driver's side torsion bar to level your cruisin.
