Note - thanks Chief for edits
 
Mack ......Thank You for posting these excellent Watkins St photos...i would like to humbly add some observations.......in the 120  photo the rig is their 1963 Seagrave w/the factory installed doors removed (the Chiefs car behind them looks to be a Ford possibly 54 or up?).....the photo labeled  1967 is after one of the "Support Our Troops" parades organized by Ray Gimmler from the UFOA.....once again thanks for your great historical posts...keep them coming.
