1947 Studebaker M-5; Chevrolet 1300; shades of envy.

 These two trucks were the first green to show up last April in Maine's early spring. Saw them at Motorland, in Arundel. May still be there.

1929 Ford AA

From Alex Emond: "I was passing through Eastend , Saskatchewan yesterday morning and caught this old truck in the early morning light. Good looking relic. It would be a big project to restore but the parts are out there. All you need is patience, money and tools, skills,time etc. That's why I just take pictures, I guess . 

"Jack's" on the main drag has a new coat of paint . Saskatchewan green . Cheers , Alex"

Eastend is a town with a literary past. Check it out on this AL post from a while back.

1966 Buick Skylark, New York City

from the poet Eva H.D., in Harlem "Check out those preposterous wheels."

Springfield, Minnesota Advanced Design Chevrolets

Craig Manning saw the lineup outisde Springfield, Minnesota

1967 Lancia Flaminia 2.3

from Guido Goluke, in Amsterdam: "Here are some photos of maybe the most stylish Italian sportscar ever. Spotted in my part of Amsterdam, on the Noordermarkt, site of the weekly biological foodmarket."

1947 Cadillac.

from Reid Cunningham: "Pittsford, New York at the local supermarket. '47 Cadillac. (Thank you, New York State, for putting the year and manufacturer on the registration sticker). Finally a good use of a vanity plate."
AL posted this '46 Cadillac convertible a while bck.

'57 Chevrolet Bel Air. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

from Michael Moore: "This spotted in Mabou, Cape Breton, N.S. by my friend David Rumsey, in Mabou on his way to MacKinnon’s Brook, Cape Breton, N.S….the trailer’s new, of course, but nicely paired with the ’57 Chev, eh?"

1972 Ford F-100 Cimarron, New Mexico

Ford Model A Fordor

from Reid Cunningham: "Saw this 1930 Fordor Ford in Pittsford NY at one of very few remaining places that pumps gas and fixes cars. Maybe in for an oil change and chassis lube? The two bay garage with a small office and a pair of pumps out front used to be ubiquitous, but are now practically extinct."

We posted a 1930 Model A Town Sedan  in Brooklin, Maine a while back. 

1966 Mercury M-series 1/2 ton.

From Alex Emond: "On the street in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. Warts and all. Pretty much a Ford by a different name." 

Check out another Canadian Mercury truck, in Nova Scotia.

1981 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham

Detroit was running out of steam. Pontiacs had lost their way and become showboats for oldsters. Auto-excitement had gone elsewhere. Still, this would be a solid road car for the Great American Wide Open. But compared it to, say, this 1962 Pontiac Parisienne? Dullsville.

1993 Volvo 240 SE

You know we love the vernacular professorial Volvo 240. Flagship car of Cambridge, Mass., in the days before Prius and Tesla. Not to mention Maserati, Porsche, Range Rover and the other snootmobiles so  common now in our massively upscaled town.

VW Combi Bus. Mexico to Harvard Square.

 The Combi, a water-cooled edition of the VW bus, was manufactured in Mexico.

1975 Ford Torino

Caught the Torino galloping down the Maine Turnpike.

Model T truckified

from Alex Emond: "Here is a 100-year-old pickup, more or less, in Kincaid, Saskatchewan. Been in this guy's family the whole time. Guaranteed not to do burn-outs. It takes a crank, but it starts easily."

AL's last Model T was in Brooklin, Maine.

Truck, Church, Flag

From Reid Cunningham, in St. Johnsville, NY. "While taking a detour to see where I lived when in elementary school, I was in a rural part of upstate NY on the southern edge of the Adirondacks. I saw this well worn square body in front of an a former church. The house next to the church, and connected to it was occupied but the church looked abandoned. The flag was tattered. It invoked a number of feelings, and said a lot to me given our current circumstances in the US, but I will leave those aside for now."

Blanchard 27' sloop (for sale)

 Cool, quick, wooden. Built on the West Coast--and for sale in Brooklin, Maine.
