Meet Esmerelda, a 1930s Dodge flatbed. Looks like she used to be painted yellow, and her body is missing a few parts, but you can’t take away from her style.
See you next week!

Doris
Some like it hot! Here is Doris, a red Dodge 1940s fire truck. A little aged, but still sleek and mobile. She can get the job done.
See you next week!

Harriet
Wowa! Meet Harriet, a Federal 1930s log hauler. She is the definition of big and bad. We found her in the Idaho panhandle, loaded and ready to roll.
See you next week!

Florence
Now here is a honey that has been around the block! Meet Florence, a 1920s REO, but I can’t remember where I shot her. Poor gal is locked up, but you can’t help admire her patina, and you can still sense her pride.
See you next week.

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?

Hattie
I shot Hattie outside the Hangar Bar in the village of Bar Nunn near Casper, Wyoming. She looks statuesque as she acts as a landmark for the bar. I sent one of the owners a copy, and he allowed me to shoot a cool toy truck hanging over the bar. Below is a pic of the toy.
By the way, I recommend this place, as it is fun, with good food and very fair prices.
See you next week.

Patricia
I saw this beauty overlooking highway 95 just south of Athol, Idaho. After three attempts, I found Larry, her owner, and got his permission to hike through his yard of past trophies to get in position. Obviously Patricia was a working girl, and she wears that class international look well.
See you next week.

Alberta
Meet Alberta, a classy classic perched to view the Idaho countryside. Graceful, but powerful. I shot her on our way to meet friends for lunch at Post Falls Idaho.
See you next week.

Peggy
This shiny babe sits outside the Brig Museum at Farragut State Park near Athol, Idaho. She served 39 years with the Kooskia Idaho Volunteer Fire Department before retiring at the Brig. Even at this age she looks ready to answer the bell.
See you next week.
