What's interesting to me here is the cars appear to be near the end of a assembly line and they have "Bumperettes" on them. I always though they (Bumperettes) were a option and were Dealer Installed????...ED

wawuzit Registered: 12/17/09 Posts: 3247 Loc: Tennessee	The last Corvette I bought I picked it up from the factory in Bowling Green Ky. I took the tour and was impressed. The plant is really old but the modernization that was done was impressive. Hot Glue Robots and Assembly robots were nice to watch. The photo above is not that plant.

wawuzit Registered: 12/17/09 Posts: 3247 Loc: Tennessee	Looks like a truck cab. Here's a photo of a brand new Planters Peanut 1938 Chevy company car. It looks like it's sitting a little high off the road, and the front tires look larger....??? Edited by wawuzit (10/18/11 04:25 PM)

42bill Registered: 09/19/03 Posts: 4748 Loc: Portland, OR	"Everywhere" is right. That's Multnomah Falls. 600 plus foot waterfall around 25 miles east of Portland, OR. Originally on the "Columbia River Scenic Highway." Now adjacent to I-84, which runs essentially from Portland to Salt Lake City. Woodie also; altho obviously not the Chevy brand.....
