1950 Chevrolet 3/4 ton: the lustre of disaster.

From our man in south Saskatchewan, Alex Emond:
"Now we're pulling into Shamrock, Sask. This old Chev is really something ...takes a lickin' and keep on tickin'!  Just a beast, and the chronological sheen is most impressive ... the lustre of disaster.  Basically , a piece of public art. And a beast of burden... 







"Kind of like this multicoloured GMC that was sticking its snout out of a hedgerow." --AE
