F600's We Have Known.

We have posted this unit before, and likely will again, because we so admire the depth and rigor of is truckness. Here's an older F600 radicalized by the Pacheco Bros. in Trementina, New Mexico. And another older F600 in Brooklin, Maine. Then, this beautiful F600 stakebed in Sedgwick, Maine.

 

c. 2019 Toyota Tacoma Wheelbarrow. Blue Hill, Maine.

 

We posted another Tacoma wheelbarrow of this era from Cambridge, Massachusetts. We admire wheelbarrows, as in modest, useful trucks. Here's a c. 1988 Toyota wheebarrow. And a pretty basic Toyota Hilux from Marfa.

c.1982 Mercedes-Benz 300TD wagon. Banff, Alberta.

 

From Alex Emond:  "Banff car. It could use some love, but talk about good bones. If this were restored, you'd have functional road warrior.  Safe and solid. Ja!"

AL: we caught a Mercedes Benz TD wagon in Harvard Square. Another TD here in Brooklin, Maine. And a TD for sale on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Mass. a while back. And then there was this vegetarian Mercedes Benz 300CD coupe, in Cambridge.

1969 Chevrolet Nova. Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

We admire this plainjane edition of the Nova. Here's an unplain 1967 Nova that we misread as a 1970. And a 1972 Nova SS we caught in Belfast, Maine.

c.1969 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia. Toronto, Ontario.

80ft Trumpy yacht, hauled at Brooklin Boatyard fro some upkeep. And no, Trumpy is not an adjective.

1953 Ford F100. Camden, Maine.

 

Basha Burwell photos. Here's a 1956 F250 we know in Marfa, Texas with a bunch of others linked in that post.

1942 Ford F1. Blue Hill, Maine.

 

And last month we posted a 1940 Ford one-ton pickup for sale in Brooklin, Maine.

1965 Chevrolet C10. Salida, Colorado

 

Markus Anstadt photos. And here's a 1963 C10 from Los Angeles 

1962 Acadian Canso. Strathmore, Alberta.

 

From Alex Emond: "In a parking lot in Strathmore, Alberta ... I assumed that I was looking at a Chevy Nova. The Acadian, however, was made in Canada and given a Canadian brand. There is a decades long history of Big Three cross-border swapping of parts, body styles, chassis, engines - whatever. It's a good looking car."

AL: Canso is a town and peninsula in Nova Scotia. Acadians are French-speaking citizens of eastern Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. There is also a significant Acadian population in Aroostook Country, Maine along the St John river. After the fall of New France in 1759, Acadians expelled from Nova Scotia resettled in the French territory of Louisiana and became Cajuns.

Gloucester Gull dory. Brooklin, Maine.

 Basha Burwell wrote a great piece about her dory in Maine Boats magazine.
