Lots of cool photos over at the HAMB, here's a couple from a thread about the history of Los Angeles
That is one great photo.
Very cool socket wrench holder! That's clever!
Craig Breedlove built the Spirit of America in his garage!
This is how many oil derricks there were all over Los Angeles, above in Brea, below in Huntington Beach, 1958
The first the time I have seen a delivery truck in use to deliver when new
Drive by banking?
Trucking used for advertising, quite an unusual collection from Caradisiac
Bantams above and below, so small they can probably only be described as "cute"
photos from Caradisiac http://www.forum-auto.com/automobiles-mythiques-exception/section5/sujet225087-3780.htm I've never seen this type of vehicle before, maybe you'll get a kick out of these too, the Scammell Scarab
the above is the Townsman model, the below are Scarabs
In 1934, Scammell produced the 3-wheeled 'Mechanical Horse', designed to replace horses in rail, postal and other delivery applications. This featured automatic carriage coupling and the single front wheel could be steered through 360 degrees. It was sold in 3- and 6-ton versions. The 3-tonner was powered by a 1,125 cc side-valve petrol engine and the 6-tonner by a 2,043 cc engine.
In the late 1940s, the 'Mechanical Horse' was superseded by the Scammell Scarab, with similar features but a much less angular cab and now with a 2,090 cc side-valve petrol engine in both models and a diesel version with a Perkins engine.
In 1967, the 'Scarab' was replaced by the 'Townsman', which had a fibre-glass cab.

Gambrinus Drivers Museum
This museum is located Belgium, at Romedenne in an authentic 19th century brewery-malting and presents a series of old trucks, especially equipped for the transport of beer. Different halls, including 70 thematic display cabinets, which are dedicated to the brands, to the makes of trucks (electricity/steam/petrol), to publicity, to truck manufacturers, etc.Info via: http://www.opt.be/accueil/en/index.html
Looks almost like a Tempo, but it's a Scammel truck, and this has to be the smallest semi truck / flatbed combo I'll ever see, and even better, it's a beer truck
The above beer truck is a 1960 Llyod LT 600Photos from the Flikr acct of Xavnco http://www.flickr.com/photos/xavnco2/with/4742571218/
