Eye-catching black and whites

This was often how Norwegian ambulances were in the 1950s and 1960s.

 

And this was often the way taxis were.

It makes me sad what vehicles look like now.

Sdkfz10. Developed by Demag and usually seen towing light anti-aircraft or antitank guns. 

Thanks for that. So I would think that they were well suited for towing timber.

Can we have some sort of 'forum thanks' to Dyslexic Viking for these awesome pictures?

Thanks for that. We in Norway have a public site with over 4 million old Norwegian photos that are free for us to share much of this comes from there. And I can spend a lot of time there so it's fun to be able to share photos and stories with all of you. So it's great that you like it.

I think this is fitting.

[Dyslexic Viking]

I end today's image search with these. Can find it a little difficult to choose which photos I will share, so feel free to tell me if there is something you like better.

[Macscrooge]

These Norwegian photos are all great. I particularly like to see the repurposed WW2 surplus vehicles.

Even as recently as the 90s ( just before the Premier League) footballers still drove normal cars. Tony Adams  famous drunken crash was in a Ford Sierra .

This is the hardest thing to find pictures of. In a year, I have only come across a handful and all by pure coincidence. But if I find more, I will definitely share them.

Car with gas tanks on the roof during the war. This is a bit rare as the wood gas generator was more common. The lights are also covered.

The German truck is a Krupp Protze, probably a Kfz-70.

Austin 12, in Portugal. Datsun behind it?

I shared this last year once and do not know if you have seen this? Photo taken in 1954 during Reindeer hunting on the Hardangervidda Norway.

I now also found this taken in 1940.

Cool, never seen a face shovel attachment for a tractor before.

I've not seen one like this before either. But know there was a lot of experimentation with machines in the 50's and 60's and not everything was successful so I would like to know if this loader was series produced or a  one off. But they were probably very happy to get mechanized loading before this, the trucks were probably loaded by hand with a shovel.
