Welcome to the Once Upon a Truck blog, where I make a weekly post from my library of vintage trucks with attitude.

Marion
Here was a sweet find! Marion was on display at Magnolia Pearl, a wildly interesting place outside of Fredericksburg in the Texas Hill Country. This 1940s Chevy flatbed appears just to have landed at an airport taxiing up to the gate. Is her load a specialized storage building or a sophisticated outhouse? Either way, she is one classy set of wheels that any self-respecting individual would love to have parked on their property.
See you next week!

Nina
While volunteering at Sleeping Bear Dunes near Traverse City, in the summer of 2012, we had plenty of time to scour the Michigan countryside scouting out old trucks. We found Nina on the outskirts of Suttons Bay.
See you next week!

Elizabeth
Meet Elizabeth. We found this beauty on an acreage outside of Traverse City, Michigan. Yes, she is minus one eye, but I bet she still runs. With an awesome name like “Gold Comet” you know she roars and shines wherever she goes.
See you next week!

Amanda
I shot this out of our motorhome passenger window as Jan was driving on highway 50 east of Montrose, Colorado. She demonstrates you don’t have to have a fancy rig to enjoy RVing!
See you next week!

Maureen
We found Maureen right outside of Durango, Colorado. You can tell by her form and her finish that she has been well cared for. I’ve always appreciated the bold but subtle look of these light- to middle-duty workhorses. How about you?

See you next week.
