Since that crate bottom isn't on any sort of wood blocks or pallet to allow you to lift it, it may just be an experiment for how to crate four knocked down bodies for the future CKD program. |
Forklifts weren't really a thing back then, stuff like that got pryed up with bars and put on rollers, or had straps slipped under for crane lifting. It was all manual labour with lots of strong goons and levers. |
Incorrect. The forklift was invented in 1917.

Indeed it was, but they weren't suddenly in every warehouse on the planet like today, manhandling freight in the traditional way carried on well into the 60's for most. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

Any idea where that simple number plate originated from?
Non original maybe, but mighty strong running boards - you wouldn't want three people trying to stand on your average Beetle running boards! |

Excellent for channelling road water, mud and other general detritus directly onto the exhaust box, ensuring an even shorter life span than normal! |
