Two 1976 Toyota Fj40's. Waldo County, Maine.

 

There they were, by State Highway # on a sparking October day. Here's another Fj40, from New Mexico. And a SWB Fj pickup, from the Netherlands. Another, c.1978 in New Hampshire. A bigger Fj40 pickup, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic

 

We love to catch the dreamboats of this era. And these were the cars produced after GM's  'downsizing'  the Seventies. So the bloat was gone. And they are crisper than the whale-ish 1990s cars. Here's another Caprice of the era, also in excellent shape. Then, a 1993 Caprice. And a 1985 Chevrolet Caprice Estate Wagon.

Chevrolet Silverado 4x4 Wheelbarrow

 

Araminta

 

That's Araminta, 33' ketch. Designed by L. Francis Herreshoff, built in 1948 at the Hodgdon yard in E. Boothbay Maine.

F600's We Have Known.

We have posted this unit before, and likely will again, because we so admire the depth and rigor of is truckness. Here's an older F600 radicalized by the Pacheco Bros. in Trementina, New Mexico. And another older F600 in Brooklin, Maine. Then, this beautiful F600 stakebed in Sedgwick, Maine.

 

c. 2019 Toyota Tacoma Wheelbarrow. Blue Hill, Maine.

 

We posted another Tacoma wheelbarrow of this era from Cambridge, Massachusetts. We admire wheelbarrows, as in modest, useful trucks. Here's a c. 1988 Toyota wheebarrow. And a pretty basic Toyota Hilux from Marfa.

c.1982 Mercedes-Benz 300TD wagon. Banff, Alberta.

 

From Alex Emond:  "Banff car. It could use some love, but talk about good bones. If this were restored, you'd have functional road warrior.  Safe and solid. Ja!"

AL: we caught a Mercedes Benz TD wagon in Harvard Square. Another TD here in Brooklin, Maine. And a TD for sale on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Mass. a while back. And then there was this vegetarian Mercedes Benz 300CD coupe, in Cambridge.
