Vintage picture of wagons' delivery

WOW, this is really really cool.

When I started to work for the Volvo dealer, doing a DPI on a car right took about an hour. Pulling off the plastic that covered the brake discs, replacing the wiper blades (a lot of Volvos came with a 'v' cut in the rubber), topped any fluids that were low, adjusted tire pressure, "woke" the computer out of its "sleep mode" from transit, and took the bricks out for a test drive.

I had a list that I had made up more than Volvo did, so when my sig would be on that paper work. That Volvo held the road straight (got it up to 65 MPH on a flat road, let go the steering wheel for a bit), braked in a straight line, no squeaks or rattles, and everything worked like it should.

I wonder what the people that built cars like that (1940s till 1970s), would think of what cars have become today?

 

Krash and Tony, Y'all are correct. I researched the Jurkowski Collection site and under the picture listed them as "Packards".

That's so cool that they have covers on them. I'm thinking these may have been on the first delivery of a brand new model year and they wanted to keep them literally "under wraps" until the official introduction day. Remember how much fun the Fall used to be as you couldn't wait to see the new cars? Nowadays, it's hard to tell a 2002 from a 2010!
