1952 GMC 100. Colorado Springs.

This fine truck has been up before but whenever I see it, it's like seeing an old friend. The truck just gets better every year.

Big Mack: 1969? Mack DM600

 

 Love trucks that look like trucks. (Or like giant Tonkas, whcih pretty much defined 'truck' for my generation.) This one in our fair city, Cambridge, Mass.

1963 Chevrolet C10, Colorado Springs

Back in Colorado Springs for my annual spell of teaching at Colorado College. This truck is out in Colorado City neighborhood, which was a miners' camp before The Springs became the city of the  Colorado Springs, centered a few miles east. Colorado City is on the road heading up to Manitou and Pikes Peak and there was gold, for a while, in them thar hills.
I like the truck a lot--clean lines, those steel wheels in back, and the primed multicolor finish. Also that wraparound windshield--'63 was the last year of those, I think.
No snow on the ground coming in over East Colorado yesterday. A dry, dry year, though The Springs is supposed to get a dump of snow tomorrow, which usually seems to happen just about when I get here, end of March. Otherwise it has been a dry, dry winter.
East Colorado...always reminds me of Mississippi John Hurt's version of the John Henry legend/ballad..Spike Driver Blues. The way Hurt sings it,  "I walk all the way from East Colorado/Honey, that's my home/Honey that's my home"
(see below, for more on the C10)

1951 Chevrolet 1300 Trailer Queen

from Alex Emond in south Saskatchewan: "My guess is 1951 , but I don't know exactly . It's a half ton , chained onto a flatbed trailer . This is in Eastend , Sask. on one of those colourless days ... fresh snow , dead calm . Spring is dragging its feet this year . There's still quite a bit of snow on the ground which bodes well for seeding and planting ... once the fields dry out enough . Anyway, I suspect that this old truck is going to get a makeover". Cheers , Alex"

Autoliterate: 133 was the Canadian version of the 3100.

ROBERT BECHTLE: " '61 PONTIAC"

The painting is in 3 panels. There aren't often people in Bechtel's car paintings. There is usually that bright hard-edged California light. This one is at the Whitney. The figures are Bechtel and his family.
