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.
 

At the boatyard

 

It has been a beautiful autumn in Brooklin. The northwest blows down Eggemoggin Reach this time of year and Center Harbor, open to the NW, has been rocking with 20-25kt winds. Most boats have been hauled. Not all. See the catboat below. And that yawl on the flat. And that old Marfan GMC, on the hard.  We like the BBY's work truck because it is a hard worker. We don't like beefcake trucks that are all pose, no purpose. See the overburdened Tacoma! at the bottom of this post.

"Toyota trucks used to make sense!" he harrumphed.

1959 Chevrolet Apache 31. Blue Hill, Maine

And here's a scrappier Apache from Colorado. A streetwise version in Marfa, Texas. A 3/4 ton Apache from Saskatchewan, another 3/4 ton in Denver and an Apache 1-ton, in Saskatchewan.

 

1965 Austin-Healey 3000. Blue Hill, Maine.

 

Completely original, even the top. Originally sold in Brussels to an American military officer. Here's another Austin-Healey 3000 we caught in Maine a while back. And another Healey we caught on Deer Isle.

Burnt Cove. Stonington, Maine.

 

People are hauling gear now. Some still lobstering. We look forward to scallops.

1959 Chevrolet Impala. Los Angeles (Silverlake)

 

Stephen Hendrickson photos. That would be a Chevy. Or as they say in New Mexico, a Tchevy. As in Tchaikovsky. We have also posted the El Camino version. And here's another 1959 Impala.
