Thank you to GSVSCC for sharing these original images from photographer Sophie A. Hertkorn.  We think you'll agree that the collection offers a compelling, up close look at many of the drivers, and some of the behind the scenes folks from back in the 1960's.

We thank photographer Sophie A. Hertkorn for creating this amazing collection and we thank GSVSCC for providing the collection.
