'73 Dodge Power Wagon


You have seen this truck before. I like it a lot. The morning I shot these, Cambridge was skimmed with black ice. Thirty-car pile-ups all over Boston. HBB and I slid our way to school on foot, then I continued slipping and sliding down to Harvard Square, pushing my bike, which was impossible to ride. By afternoon it was almost 60 degrees, and they are calling for 12 inches of snow tomorrow. Tht means a snow day, sigh.
The truck has a clean, plainjane ruggedness I admire. 4wd, like any Power Wagon. Not sure the year but I'm putting down '73, which is probably close.
