Hi Bruce,

I saw this and thought it might be an interesting topic on the SYC. Is this thing cool or what? It was a prototype and I think it was out in the late 60's. I'd sure like to have one for a tow vehicle. Check out the redline tires and the Ca. Black MFG. license plate.

I did too and remember seeing it before...pretty sure it's in the GM 75'th anniversary book?.
Looks a lot like the Tonkas of the same era!.

That would attract almost as much attention as Barnhart's Hauler. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

All it needs is a sleeper and a car hauler behind it!
I like it!

Looks like the entrance ramp to the 'north-south loop' at the Milford Proving Grounds. Cool!

It would look right at home next to the Chrysler turbine car. Did anybody notice the specs of the turbine? 850 foot pounds of torque at right above 0 RPM.
