Old School…

Posted on by October 21, 2022

There are some really good ‘shade tree’ mechanics around our local area…

57 Ford F-100 Panel truck.

A 53 3100 Chevy pickup…

And then there was ‘something’ that somebody had made up… Not old school, but pretty funny never the less…

Snerk… Y’all have a good weekend!

  3. I wonder if there’s a “small block” ‘neath the hood of that beautiful Chevy.
    I have a cousin named Brandon.
    Since that name now comes with such baggage he’s asking to be called “Skip”.

  4. Such beautiful old iron. Good times, when the stuff on the road sported this kind of lovely, rich design. Too many of the stuff today looks like clones. Not a dimes worth of difference among the lot

    • “Too many of the stuff today looks like clones.”

      This is mostly due to government regs in the EU and the US that mandate pedestrian safety and fuel economy. Not much wiggle room for creativity in design now.

  6. Sweet. I always enjoy seeing vintage vehicles.

    I was driving an interstate in Indiana last Sunday and on the parallel frontage road spotted a whole line of classic cars and pickups. 50’s Ford and Chevy pickups, coupes and sedans from before the age of fins, a couple cars with fins, and some muscle cars from the 70’s. Alas, they turned and crossed over the highway at the next overpass rather than continuing to parallel, so I didn’t catch the whole line up.

  7. Yesterday, I saw a Hudson Hornet, dark green paint, ’52 or ’53 I think. Quite a car! A lot of guys were coveting the vehicle as it cruised past.

  9. All- Thanks for the comments! TXRed- Remember the pickup we saw that one day at lunch??? Sigh…

    • Oh yes. Someday I’m going to take up the owner’s offer to go poke around their shop/sales floor/museum . . .
