| Shiny red Dodge Power Wagon. Coincidentally, this very vehicle is pictured at the Wikipedia article on said vehicle. |

| Detail of Boyce MotoMeter radiator cap on Ford. (Isn't the internet grand? Five minutes ago I didn't even know what this thing was called...) |

| A row of trucks of various vintages. The guy with the blue IH truck on the left has obviously been slacking off with the Turtle Wax. |
Nothing finer than a vintage Dodge Power Wagon (with the possible exception of it's military cousin, the Dodge M-37.)
ReplyDeletePower Wagon...Drool.
ReplyDeleteSame with the vintage Mack...now those are just nice rides you don't see every day.
Love the old power wagon. Loved the one in Hatari with the seat on it from which the Duke snared a rhino.
ReplyDeleteLove the old Macks...
ReplyDeleteThe Ford is pretty sweet too...
ReplyDeleteThe IH guy is 'Mater-izing his truck.
ReplyDeleteHey, when you took the pic of the radiator cap, were you needing to drain yours? Just wondering is all......

What, no one remembers the Power Wagon in Simon & Simon?
ReplyDeleteWhy can't modern trucks look this cool?
ReplyDeleteMany years ago, we came up behind what appeared to be the world's smallest pickup truck, obviously converted from some sort of tiny sedan or wagon. We didn't recognize it, so we vowed to get a look at the front.
ReplyDeleteAnd on the hood of this mutant Honda 360, there stood the Mack bulldog, same size as the one on a Class 8 truck. If it hadn't been nose-heavy before, it was now.
Neat pics, and I learned how to drive in a '58 Power Wagon!!! Wish we still had it (even though I knocked two fenders off)...
ReplyDeleteI once spent a summer using an ancient Power Wagon as a work truck. True, the doors were gone, and starting the engine in the morning needed a fair bit of advanced planning... but it was a rather sweet vehicle.
ReplyDeleteThe current Series 70 Land Cruiser pickups have the same sort of real working truck vibe, but you won't see them in the USA, and they cost about $55,000 new in the 3rd world.
Broken Andy:
ReplyDeleteDue to Euro pedestrian impact standards, all vehicles now look pretty much the same. The US automakers generally follow along with the Europeans. That's why you will never see this sort of thing again.
