Boosted Bronco, c.1971. Kennebunk, Maine.

 

We have posted beaucoup Broncos, some of them linked to a post on what we called a 1970 Bronco but is probably a later 70s edition.  Here's a 1973 Bronco from NH...and a Sixties Bronco from El Paso. Then there was the Zerolabs Bronco we caught in Marfa a couple months back. Put Bronco in our search box, and you'll find a herd of them. 

Ineos Grenadier. Los Angeles (Mar Vista)

 

Are you really going to bounce up the trail in something so heavyweight and costly? We have already fulminated on one seen in Cambridge–of all over-civilized places. And our favorite auto writer, Dan Neill of WSJ, had this to say.

Dodge Power Ram. Los Angeles (Mar Vista).

Most of the Power Ram trucks we've posted have been, well, massive. This one looks like Mitsubishi's version of the PR.

 

c.1968 Ford F-100 SWB Los Angeles (Mar Vista)

 

That circus-style lettering is popular in Boston. This doesn't have the pin-striping that is also an element in Boston truck aesthetic. More pin-stripes. See our post on Boston truck language.
 

Mudpuppies of New England. Kennebunk, Maine.

2026 Chevrolet 2500. Brooklin, Maine.

We like big trucks that have work to do. It's brainless brawn that bothers us.

 

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
