1995 Chevrolet S-10

The S-10's of the 1980s were the first compact trucks built in North America, by any manufacturer. This unit–spotted in Brooklin, Maine–looks like the 2nd S-10 generation, 1994-97 and, yikes, does it ever look clean. A plain-jane pickup in a sensible size. Makes the behemoth F-150s, Silverados and Rams of today look...past their shelf life. Also the massive Chevrolet Colorado of today, nominally a "compact" truck. Stuff in America often gets bigger instead of better. The S-10 frame can accommodate an Advanced-Design era GM truck, we're told. A clean S-10 could make a great wheelbarrow truck.
