WTF? I have no idea what this refers to....Starting a plane? It looks like he has the rope wrapped around the nose cone of the engine.

The response from Ford is pretty cool though.

Any Ideas?? Click thumbnail for a bigger photo.

Fantastic shot of the Bronco, Wes. That's a very rare image of the Stove with Loomis/Wright.

Checked out the various photos on that guy's site. I'm guessing he did the original K Bar S shots in his gallery too? I'd love to have copies of his stuff but I don't like his prices :-(.

Gud Racing shared those photos with us a little while ago. It's neat to read the captions that go with the photos for some background info.

That Bronco is now owned by Larry Newell and was at Fab Fords in 'Stroppe Row' this year.

Thanks for sharing, Wes!

Holy Crap, I did not even look at his photos. Wow...I am a photographer and I know that you have to charge money for your photos otherwise you do not eat, but wow...

I like the conway twitty picture, he is the first country singer I ever heard growing up. It was "don't call him a cowboy". I still remember riding around in my grandad's old ford truck(1972 stepside) listening to that song.

I really enjoy the little things. Like the early Bestop with the small windows. The big CB whip antennas (that takes me back!), the Armstrong Tru-Tracs back in post 22(I think?) and so many other little things that make looking at old photos bring a smile to your face.

Thanks everybody.

Lot of shiny red Broncos running round that stadium. When was that taken, and at what event?

>>> I found this link to some more pics of when elvis returned to the dome in 1974....http://www.geocities.com/gorgeousguta/dome74.htm ... pic below from the link read above it >> "The KING proudly enters the HOUSTON ASTRODOME on Sunday, March 3, 1974, in a bright red jeep" & under another pic on that page it says >> "Kathy Westmoreland remembers: "That jeep leaping forward in a burst of speed, with ELVIS hanging on firmly with his left hand, waving with his right, his hair blowing in different directions, and his body bouncing to-and-fro as the vehicle bounced over the rugged, dirt radio floor."
