Good day for a beer hunt

Would love to have that Ford Country Squire wagon. Those were great. Good ride, big 390ci, and roomy!

You can have the beer.

A female worker cleans the rifling of a 381 mm ship’s gun at Coventry’s arsenal. Great Britain, 1910. Now that is a high caliber woman.

The movie was El Dorado.  Another fun fact, she was born in Texas and died in Tennessee.

Lovely lady to be sure. 😍

As for the guns, they look like Colt Single Action Armys. But given the time period of that movie, I'd guess that they are more likely a set of Hawes Western Marshall revolvers. In the 50s & 60s Colts were hard to come by and expensive. The Hawes singles actions were used in many movies and TV shows. The Hawes revolvers were actually made by J.P. Sauer in Germany.

I don't remember her dressed like that in El Dorado.
