This is my "junkyard runner", build mostly from spares and cast-offs from other projects. It's been retrofitted with a Cat V8 and eventually will be paired up with a single axle flatbed trailer loaded down with scrap metal.
The rollover wasn't planned- that was an accident. But it seemed like all the auto and truck manufacturers put on "thrill shows" like this to demonstrate their products from the late '40's onward.
Who knew part of White Motor Company's engineering regimen was teaching cabovers how to breakdance?
On a serious note, these are photographs from a White publicity event from 1949.
And this just has to be one of the coolest photographs ever taken...
