Everything was class back then. No vehicle looked the same as they all do today. People dressed with class and had respect for one another. ThankGod I got to experience it.

I bought a 1953 Chevrolet cargo truck/van. I bought it in Denver in 1969 for probably a couple hundred bucks and that truck today, in the same condition would probably be worth at least maybe 4K? It was just a stripped out delivery truck. No rust, ran good. I’m such a dope for not realizing what a gold mine it was. I’m absolutely positive that truck is in a car show somewhere. 😩

@user-fv5ms4sz8e 8 ай бұрын

I think I would really like to have one of those old delivery trucks. Really neat to see what a really old Mack truck looked like. Our cars today look okay, but they don't look near as fancy or elegant as these much older vehicles were.

Nós brasileiros somos bem parecidos em certos gostos com os americanos. Gostamos de humor, de viajar, de filmes, músicas e de carros. Existe uma grande paixão por carros, em nós brasileiros, é como se ele não fosse apenas uma máquina para servir, mas bem além disso, é como se ele fosse um grande amigo ou irmão, um companheiro confiável que se pode contar em tôdas as horas. Eu gosto muito de carros, e gosto muito dos carros americanos dos anos 40 aos anos 80. Parabéns aos construtores de veículos americanos, sso inclui motos e caminhões também 👏👏👏

Re Japan vs American produced. I have an old looking 2010 Ford Ranger but the sadness is not how the work went to Asia but how it is impossible to buy a small truck like that now. My truck with crank down windows was nearly the last year that it was possible to get any kind of small truck. It is obscene how large these American trucks have become. Good video. Commercial vehicles are so cool. Thanks. A 🇺🇸5 star video.

@@roncaruso931 Unaware who bent the dialog concerning offshoring? Respectable heads of manufacturing industries wrote what offshoring would produce in minute detail; patent theft - infringement, inadequate materials & quality control, inability to source replacement parts, delays in procurement, unbalanced trade, manipulated monetary exchange rates, markets flooded with crappy products. . . That's not a 1/10 of issues predicted. The lesser companies looked at importation to slash labor and material costs were all in, via hordes of lobbyists. Such begat the importers and distributors, who produce nothing at all. Consumers focused on price vs quality ate it up.
