Thanks, Moose.  I had no idea they started that early in park history.

Glad it rings a bell for you.   Just for kicks, I did a few searches, and this seems to go back to the 1930s, though I filmed it in 1954.

My dad used to have a fascination with those things. If I recall

west were pretty similar, but were built by someone else. My dad was
always a Packard fan because of his personal connections.

More than you might want to know about the Jammers. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Jammers>

Appealing things to see when driving the Going to the Sun Road. It seems all that's original on them is the bodies, but they gloriously look the part.
