2 Ford Rangers, Los Angeles (Mar Vista)

Rangers once made excellent, good-sized wheelbarrow trucks.  Ford would rather show them climbing mountains. Stupid. Like so much else in America of late, Rangers have gotten huge, and faux-manly.

1963 (or 1964) Mercury Montclair

I persuaded my father to buy a 1965 Montclair. It was a great car, in between our dysfunctional 1962 Pontiac Laurentian and the problem-child 1968 Chrysler Newport Custom. Caught this Texas survivor in Somerville MA. Here's a surfer Montclair we posted from Capitola CA. And some photos of the 1965 Montclair.

c.1964 Ford F100. Santa Barbara, Calif.

 
Another Ford F100 we posted, same era, from Richmond, Virginia. And this one in St Johnsbury, Vermont. Then there was the 1965 Ford Galaxy 500 convertible...but don't get us started

c.1986 Chevrolet C30. Augusta, Maine

 

After all the perfect bodies we have been posting from LA and West Texas, it's amazing to see a Mainer playing in the same league. Don't know the story behind this truck but aim to find out.

1957 Dodge Pickup. Pennsylvania.

 

From Stephen Hendrickson, in PA: "I met the original owner, who did the total restoration, in the Aldi parking lot.  It lives in his garage now, has never been out on salted roads.  Did it while he was still working; retired now on SS.  Note Trump sticker; we did not discuss!  I love the hooded headlights."

AL: we posted a 1954/55 Dodge in Banff...a 1952 Dodge in Clayton, New Mexico...and an Off-the-Patina-Meter Dodge in Saskatchewan.
