c.1994 Volvo 240 Wagon. Washington Street, Bath, Maine.

That was a cold spring day in Bath. We caught a 1971 Volvo 164 in Bath a while ago. We posted  from a walkabout in Bath a while back.

 

Chevrolet HD 5500. Cambridge, Massachusetts.

 

Form following function. No swagger. It''s a heavy-duty wheelbarrow.

c. 1948 REO Speedwagon. Neville, Saskatchewan

From Alex Emond: "It isn't ideal, trying to photograph this truck in a cramped space. I may be off on the year but I'm close. Small town Saskatchewan, Neville, to be precise, just a half hour south of Speedy Creek. This is the first "Speedwagon" that I have ever laid eyes on. Most old farts like myself would have heard the band, REO Speedwagon, kind of soft rock 70's that we'd hear on the radio . I'll take the truck, thanks. It is in very good condition . Cheers , Alex

Econobox Not.

 

Econoboxe, those worthy little mostly-Japanese cars that ate Detroit's lunch in the 1970s, are practically instinct. Instead we have the Mercedes Benz G500, geared up for the Trump era and prepared to flee the city, antelope grill and all. 

Sterling Bullet. San Antonio, Texas.

 

From Markus Anstadt in San Antonio. "This is one for the work truck enthusiasts. These Sterling Bullets were a 2-year production (2007-2009) by Daimler Chrysler. Said to be virtually identical to the Ram 4500/4600 series."

C.1971 Chevrolet C20. Santa Barbara, California.

 

1959 Ford Fairlane. Culver City, California.

 

Here's a 1959 Ford Ranchero we caught in Maine a while back. And a 1959 Ford Ranch Wagon that was for sale in Maine.

c. 1995 Dodge Dakota

The crewcab profile is never very appealing, but the Dakota was a reasonable contender in the wheelbarrow truck stakes until it was discontinued in 2011. 1994 was the year Dodge trucks got kinda ugly, with the big new snout, but we can still admire this truck for its simplicity compared to the bombast of today's hulksters. Detroit should name one of its bulked-up special editions the Pete Hegseth. A lot of gas and no grace.   

1978 Corvette. Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Don't see many 'Vettes in Cambridge! This was a beauty. The fastback rear window gives the car's lines a coherence that 's missing in other Corvettes of that era. Recalls those Sting Rays of the Sixties.
