1949 Chevrolet Deluxe, Mexico D.F.

from GeoFF Park: "Roma Norte, Mexico City This car does NOT run
It's a Chevy body (which may have been shortened?) The door handle is there but there's no actual door.Somebody put a lot of love and work into this and it's not even advertising anything...
Note the key to wind it up"

AL has posted '49 Chevrolets from Maine.
 

1958 Chevrolet 3200 , Oregon

These from Guido Goluke, the Dutch translator and novelist. The truck's in Oregon. Almost every Chevy  of this Task Force era seems to painted that shade of turquoise/blue.
Here's another one in California.

VW Combi bus, Mexico D.F.

from Geoff Park. "Condesa, Mexico City. Still runs."

AL caught one of these water-cooled Volkswagen buses in Harvard Square.

1957 Ford Ranchero

from Alex Emond: "Not the 'ouevos' kind but the Ford variety. This colour scheme was one of your choices, back in 1957. Half car, half truck ... looks great and was probably a serious "chick magnet" Hasn't lost its appeal 60 odd years later. I saw this vehicle in Redcliff, Alberta."

AL: Here's a '57 Ranchero for sale in Maine.

Snowy Galaxie

Reid Cunningham caught the 1963 Ford Galaxie near Rochester, New York a couple weeks back where they had 10 inches of snow that stayed around for a while.

1972 Chevrolet C20

Clean truck. This was maybe the most basic of all Chevy truck formats and had a fairly short run, from 1967-72, when the squarebodies came in. This frame-off Chevy is on the block today at B-A-T.

Mexican Beetle

Geoff Park caught the Volkswagen in Coyoacan, Mexico City

unsafe at any speed

from Alex Morgan:  "My favorite part is the wiring for everything outside goes out the rear window. Generator safely chained from leaf spring to where it’s located atop on a wood pallet. Water at a high location for gravity feed."

1995 Toyota

 Somewhat guessing the vintage here. Lean, clean truck. Brattle Street, Cambridge, Mass.

1953 Plymouth Cranbook

from Alex Emond: "This blue Plymouth cruises around Mossbank, Saskatchewan. A conservatively designed vehicle with a rather stodgy name... appealing to a sensible family man of the early '50's . All these decades later, it has stood up well and still looks good, handsome, not flashy. As far as I can tell this is completely original except for tires and the air inside those tires."

AL posted a '52 Plymouth Cranbook from Belfast, Maine.

1980 Land Rover 88 Series III

The lightweight edition. It;s on the block at B-A-T.

That's Delahaye, not Chevrolet.

Thanks to Lee Saloutos for the heads-up on a Motorlands piece on the fabulous French Delahaye cars.

Fargo 100

 

From Alex Emond, in south Saskatchewan: Here's one of those "so ugly it's beautiful" trucks . This near the end of the "Fargo" run , a brand that ran it's course by the mid 60's and melted back into the Dodge line . Now you can jump into a big ass 'doolly' RAM like this one that blew past me the other day . It's as wide as my car is long . Anyway , the old truck is quite rare, with a long bed. Very Utilitarian.
AL: We have posted Dodge trucks of this era: in Salida, Colorado; another in Marfa,Texas. Lots more if you try Dodge in our search widget.

1974 BMW 2002

Most of the Beems you see driving around Cambridge these days are same old/same old SUVs, but the 2002s were tight and nimble. This car looked to be in great shape, except for that anomalous rust burn on the rear deck. Perhaps a storage issue, or a fire?

Ford F350

As a rule don't like mega-trucks but I guess the City of Cambridge has its reasons and what we do like about this F350 is its no-nonsense, no-frills demeanor.
