1955 Chevrolet Wagon

Saw the car in Cambridge MA. The car had just been sold that morning for $2k.  Pretty clean except for rust along the roof gutters.

1976 Chevrolet K-10

In Blue Hill, Maine. Truck looked pretty straight, not much rust. Maybe it came from away, because Downeast Maine trucks, like Downeast Maine people, tend to be salty. Nice looking truck but wheels and tires maybe kinda small?

1961 GMC C10

From Michael Moore: "From the Benicia (Calif.) Arsenal, a beater GMC, most likely 1959 or 1960."
AL: We admire those northern California trucks that somehow hang on for 60 years, no one taking much care of them.

1965 Pontiac Catalina (Plainjane)

AL has a thing for plainjanes and this Catalina is about as basic as they come...but with a 389 V8. Certainly has sleeper potential. Saw the car at Motorland in Maine. More than you wanted to know about Pontiac V8's here.

Cop Truck

Anything to sell a pickup truck. Seems kinda over-the-top and NFLish for me, cops riding in large trucks. Put them in a Prius, I say. 
Yeah I sound kinda Cambridge (MA), I know.

1966 Plymouth Fury

"Wet Red Car", one of Langdon Clay's Night Cars of New York. On his site, it's called a Ford Fairlane, but we know better. 1966 or 1967 Plymouth; am I right?  His portraits are spooky and summon up an age for me, the gritty 1970s when Manhattan was feeling kind of wrecked and on the road to ruin. But glamorous. Now it feels like a nature preserve for the 'rich people' species.
