c.1968 Ford F-100 SWB Los Angeles (Mar Vista)

 

That circus-style lettering is popular in Boston. This doesn't have the pin-striping that is also an element in Boston truck aesthetic. More pin-stripes. See our post on Boston truck language.
 

Mudpuppies of New England. Kennebunk, Maine.

                                         

c. 1984 Dodge Power Ram towing a Dodge Ram of similar vintage. 

2026 Chevrolet 2500. Brooklin, Maine.

We like big trucks that have work to do. It's brainless brawn that bothers us.

 

c.1994 Volvo 240 Wagon. Washington Street, Bath, Maine.

That was a cold spring day in Bath. We caught a 1971 Volvo 164 in Bath a while ago. We posted  from a walkabout in Bath a while back.

 

Chevrolet HD 5500. Cambridge, Massachusetts.

 

Form following function. No swagger. It''s a heavy-duty wheelbarrow.

c. 1948 REO Speedwagon. Neville, Saskatchewan

From Alex Emond: "It isn't ideal, trying to photograph this truck in a cramped space. I may be off on the year but I'm close. Small town Saskatchewan, Neville, to be precise, just a half hour south of Speedy Creek. This is the first "Speedwagon" that I have ever laid eyes on. Most old farts like myself would have heard the band, REO Speedwagon, kind of soft rock 70's that we'd hear on the radio . I'll take the truck, thanks. It is in very good condition . Cheers , Alex
