Love truckish trucks. Also, that Boston pin-striping deal.  This was one cold ,bright day in Cambridge last week, before first snow. 

GM T-7500

 

Caught our eye. Looks much too tough, hard-working and common-sensible to be an American truck. All the American GMC trucks have fantasy names that seem to come out of...a Kevin Costner movie? A bad dream of a faux Wild West?  Sierras, Denalis, Canyons, Yukons, Terrains, etc. You know our thing about contemporary pickup trucks and ersatz masculinity. This truck is mostly an Isuzu. Love it. Trying to figure out where it's made is weirdly difficult. Best guess, Japan. Offshore, somewhere.

Mercedes 300TD wagon Cambridge, Massachusetts

 

At first thought it the same car we posted from Harvard Square a while back, but not. Many links in that earlier post.

1951 Buick Roadmaster

From the AL files. Colorado Springs, a few years back.

 

1972 Ford F-250, Colorado Springs

From the AL files. A lot of 1960s-70s  F-250's were sold to people who were putting campers on them, especially out West.
