would you dare?

Crazy truckers back in 1969.....look at the Top Ramp full of brand new SS convertibles...."Parked Backwards" I get scared when I take delivery of my cars off an inclosed trailer when the driver of the truck tells you to get in a put your foot on the brakes...two cool things that stand out to me in this picture is the Rubber Bumper on the 1st car (that was a rare option) & look at how the Headlight Covers are already starting to not fully close

That first one appears to be a 396 SS convertible. WOW, that truck would be worth a Ton of money today. Great Photo. Thanks

I would guess he was unloading in that picture. Can’t imagine attempting to drive up that ramp with a stick or even an auto. I suppose he wrenched them up on top.
