1979 Ford F350, Fishers Island.
from Jonathan Welsh: Trucks based at small airports seem to last. This one lives at Elizabeth Field on Fishers Island, N.Y. I can picture it plowing the runways. Ford restyled its trucks more frequently during the 1970s, possibly trying to catch up with Chevrolet, which turned out cleaner designs. This was Ford's look for 1978 and '79.

No New Cars! Or Trucks!
"Monika Dernai, BMW’s head of sustainability, recently spoke to an audience in London about how the automotive industry could reduce its environmental impact and waste. Dernai’s idea is to keep fresh and modern the vehicles that are currently in use but are getting older by retrofitting them upgrades instead of just picking up a car from the showroom floor..."
At Autoliterate, we're all about keeping old cars & trucks forever. So we were glad that BMW is starting to see things our way. The dream here is to re-fit one of the trucks--or the Volvo 850--as an EV, and we're actively looking for a sponsor.

Ford Ranger Wheelbarrow Truck. Marfa, Texas.
We like Wheelbarrow trucks. Smaller, simpler, utilitarian. The last we posted was another Ranger, in Somerville, Mass.
