The main reason this would be an impossible feat to produce today is... that to re-create the events that made this picture ....you would never be able to comply with all the government regulations required to economically produce the things seen here.

From environmental impact studies before you could cut the trees that made the spokes of the wheels, to fertilizer and insecticide permits required to produce the cotton, rainwater runoff fees, required labor minimum wage and health benefits, DOT hauling permits, and VOC emissions permits and compliance regulations for painting the danged thing...and we continue to claim that we have a "free" country!

Sorry folks, but some scenes of the past are reminders of what we've lost. While we have gained much, we have lost much as well.

Great minds (like Joe's and mine) must think alike.
I didn't see Joe's post, or the thread over on the H.A.M.B.
I was searching the historical archives for Georgia and found several interesting Studebaker references, of which this was one..
Now that it has been replied to, I cannot delete it, so it has to stay.
Apologies.
