The Negro Motorist

"The Negro Motorist Green Book was a guidebook for African American travelers that provided a list of hotels, boarding houses, taverns, restaurants, service stations and other establishments throughout the country that served African Americans patrons. Victor H. Green published it annually from 1936 to 1966 when discrimination against African Americans was widespread. During this period, African Americans faced racial prejudice, price gouging and physical violence while traveling around the United States. The information included in The Negro Motorist Green Book helped increase their safety and treatment."..from Smithsonian Digital Volunteers

1962 International Harvester 120 (Diesel)

Lee Saloutos caught the truck in Truckee, Calif.

1961 Porsche 356 Super 90

It's not an old truck, but as an automotive investment it would be hard to beat. Up for grabs at Olympian cars. That color speaks of the time and place: let's call it Spy-Who-Came-In-From-the Cold Grey.

1981 Dodge Ram

Basha Burwell caught the Dodge in St Louis, Missouri. I'm guessing the year. That gen of Dodge pickups lasted a while. I think they were cleaner than the bulksters with outsized noses that followed, starting in 1994. Those swollen machines started the trend of erstaz-manly giant trucks. Capitalism has a problem leaving well-enough alone; I call it the Starbucks Syndrome. Had your  daily 69 Shot Chocolate Chai Caramel Vanilla Hazelnut White Mocha Caramel Sauce Classic Syup Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino yet?

It's called the (ahem) Big Horn.

1966 Rambler Ambassador 990 Wagon

Saw the wagon up at Motorland in Arundel, Maine. 

Woody. Brooklin Boatyard.

1965 Pontiac GTO
