1956 ford F250. MArfa, Texas.

We post this truck every year, it seems. Kind of ground-zero of truckdom. The Ford Fairlane Sunliner was also happening in '56. And here's an F350 from Maine.

c. 1985 GMC C15. Marfa, Texas.

C. 1980 Lincoln Mark VI. Manchester, New Hampshire.

 

Reid Cunningham photos. Another Manchester NH find, and the well-waxed paintwork and bright sun created more glare than my phone could accommodate, but this find was a delight. Note the padded roof, oval opera windows, and more.  The Lincoln Marks were perhaps the ultimate 'personal luxury coupe', an auto genre that started in the 1970s with the Chevrolet Monte Carlo.  (AL: here's a '71 Monte Carlo we caught in California last Spring.)

1967 Ford Galaxie sedan. Boscawan, New Hampshire.

From Reid Cunningham: "At a repair garage in Boscawan NH, this 1967 Galaxy.  I am not sure the orange paint is the original color, but it looks good with the white roof.  Most four-doors left the factory with mundane engines, but this one sports the 390!"  

We caught a 1967 Galaxie XL500 on Deer Isle, Maine last month.

 

1969 Volkswagen Type 2. Marfa, Texas.

 

The Beauty of the Hull.

Classic wooden Maine inshore lobster boat. Many of these used to have gasoline engines.  Nova Scotia boats (Novi's) are stouter to manage their open North Atlantic fishing ground . 

Yard Dogs. Marfa, Texas.

It's a good week to be in Texas. That look like a c.1990 Dodge Ram. Below, a c. 1983 Chevrolet C10, and then a c.1969 Dodge Charger.  All glowing in rain that's been making the desert green this November week.
