The picture in 9546 reminds me of the scene in "Bonnie and Clyde" where they come up on a family picnic after they have been shot pretty badly.

Same thing I thought. The guy looks like he is reaching for a gun.

Post # 9549 & 9540,
I recall seeing that very car parked at the Studebaker dealer (Gordon Bros I believe) in North Vancouver at the end of the race to promote Studebakers(even though production had stopped). 1967 was the year I bought my '63 GT Hawk from Gordon Brothers in North Vancouver. If I recall, there were several Shell 4000 rallies in the 60's and there were also Larks participating and placing very high as well.

9552 -- This reminds me of the Studebaker M series well-driller which is high in the air beside Highway 9 in Alexander, Maine.

Found this on the 'net today.
It's at the old " Pure Oil Performance Trials " that were held here at Daytona Beach for many years .
I worked at a couple of those events , back then . I wasn't there in this year though . That's Big Bill .

From an Alabama Poly Tech Yearbook. Cruse-Crawford was not only a Birmingham dealer, but apparently a distributor also. Not sure why 'Manufacturing' in the company name.

Not sure why 'Manufacturing' in the company name.

The dealer may have operated a fab shop that could have welded anything from small utility trailers to pipe racks for trucks to farm implements which carried them over when car sales end got slow.

Red X again.

This is another puzzlement I do not see the red X. Also it comes from the very same source as the photos I last posted and I was told they came through great.
