The Power Wagon That Went to Harvard

 Somehow I don't expect to see great trucks parked on the streets of Cambridge, MA. It just doesn't seem that kind of town. Anyway, here we are, a couple blocks north of Harvard Law School, where a flotilla of new lawyers in cap and gown were being awarded their diplomas--actually it's Commencement Day all over Harvard, and Mass Ave is crowded with robes and mortarboards and the girls in their summer dresses (its 93F, and humid)---and I spot this wonderful bare tough and perfectly clean Dodge. Wow. My kind of truck. Don't know the vintage but I remember driving this era of Mopar on a ranch in Alberta, in 1976---the body type lasted into the 90s, when it was replaced by the bulbous mock-macho of the subsequent Dodge/Ram gestalt, trucks which maybe were designed by Sylvester Stallone, or Steven Seagull or whatever his name was. (Here's another mid 70s Power Wagon, on Bangshift)
