Thanks Case!

a 1930's is my guess.

At the Motor Transport Museum

these are just a sample from http://truquetructruk.tumblr.com

 I like the airplane in the background, and the design of the fuel truck back half.

looks very short, but I hope that is a optical illusion from the camera angle. I'm surprised that the letters are add ons. It looks really good.

wow, that is old.

The coolest of the photos here in my opinion, the 1940 Ford has been chopped to the belt line, and some odd panels on top of the fenders. Really professional looking, and of course, it's very cool that there is a plane in the background

I haven't seen a double trailer in a long time


Even older that that gren truck, this is what a Mack truck looked like in the 19 teens. Solid rubber tires, looks like wood spoke rims, side curtains and a "C" cab.



Above is in the Ramsey Museum in Dover Ohio

 wow, great looking truck and tanks. And pumps were mounted on the sides! Cool!

the racing scenes are magnificent



one of the characters in the movie lives or stays at some place that has these representations of the race tracks in the Gran Prix circuit on the 2 storey wall in the staircase







below is the scene where James Garner's character drives some other characters wife home



 Naturally beautiful woman, Jessica Walter



 Hertz Shelby GT350 Mustang that James Garner's character drove as a commuter





below are examples of the multiple uses that VW vans were used for in the 60's... they were used for everything, advertising signboards, mobile mechanics tool boxes,



 this mobile gas station seems to be a converted bus

 more great cinematography


Now to the making of
 cool 1960's French helicopter, an Alouette


director Frankenheimer was a amatuer racer, Ferrari fan


a real GT 40 was used as a camera car. I've posted photos of this in the archives, and can't find them
