THE 60'S, PT1

Now, for a look back at Hillsdale in the 60's...
Traffic on the bridge, including a classic Ford Fairlane.
Before it was Tony's Garage, it was State Line Farm Supply. The lot is full of farm equipment, and a truck has entered with a load of feed bags. Note the original appearance of Tony's tow truck as it passes by its future home.
Several 50's classics are seen here, including a '57 Chevy Bel Air, a '53 Cadillac Eldorado convertible and a '49 Mercury coupe.
A then brand-new delivery truck for Smitty Lumber rolls past the lot for J&S Trucking. Note the intermodal trailers lined up. Of course, today this lot is now Domino's Pizza.
A 50's Buick pulls an Airstream camping trailer along County Lane, behind a tanker delivery truck.
The tanker is a 40's vintage Chevy, working for Phillips 66. While still going strong here, it will soon be retired and replaced. Behind it is a mid-50's Ford Fairlane.
