2026 Eggemoggin Reach Regatta. Brooklin Maine

 


c. 1982 Toyota Hilux and c 1996 Ford Rangers & c. 2024 Toyota Tacoma. Los Angeles. (Mar Vista)


 Trucks have strayed too far from 'truck' as in useful. We await the Slate. We have posted several Hilux, including this 1973 Toyota Hilux and we are very fond of Ford Rangers. Wheelbarrows all.


And this (below) was the most basic Toyota Tacoma we'd seen in a while.

c.1968 Ford Falcon. Brooklyn, New York.

 



From the poet Eva H.D., in Brooklyn: 

             They don’t make 'em like that anymore, I said to the cute young guy, white undershirt, rag in hand.
             No they do not.
            Everyone takin' a picture of that car today, said the older man on the stoop.

c.1970 MGB-GT. Blue Hill, Maine

We posted another MGB-GT this color from Apalachicaola, FL. There was that MGB in New Hampshire that had us thinking of The Red Car (novel). And we posted a passel of MGs from a club meet in upstate New York. And we wrote a short story about an MGB

c. 2010 GMC 2500. Brooklin, Maine.



Plainjane 2-door HD pickups with no extended cab are fairly common in coastal Maine because they are the trucks lobstermen need to stack and haul traps in spring and fall. Out post on lobstertrucks at Naskeag did note a few extended cabs, however. Then there was Brian Robbins' piece in The Rising Tide on his father's lobster truck.
