Saw these trucks at Motorland in Arundel, Maine a while back. They mostly seem to have price tags so I guess the are for sale. I like that Ford COE dump truck. Also the red truck, eighth down, which looks like a Chevy COE as a Saskatchewan grainer. What is it that's so appealing? Just the lay of light on these simple forms through the rainy window? The Arts & Crafts movement of the late-19th c. could not have predicted that, a century later, industrial products would speak to us with such hammered simplicity.
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."
