1952 Ford Mainline
from Alex Emond: "... exactly which model is a bit of a guess . Could be a Meteor since I'm in Canada. Mr. Wikipedia lists at least 4 possible model names like Crestline and Mainline. Whatever. It was sitting on the main drag in Aneroid, Saskatchewan for all to see. Looks like it's a driver. I don't have a problem with 4 doors, but aficionados say 2 is better. They don't have dogs ps: the grain elevator in Aneroid (below) pps: NHL player Patrick Marleau is from Aneroid

Old County Road, Brooklin Maine
We were glad to be part of a parade in Brooklin, Maine honoring students of Brooklin School. It was basically a town-wide drive-by of kids' homes, led by one of our fire trucks, the redoubtable Clarion. The 1963 GMC and the '64 Chevy C-10 were just ahead of us in the line-up.

Lost and Found Trucks
from Alex Emond in Saskatchewan:"I passed this hauler going east , close to the Ab./Sk. border . For a change , these trucks seemed to be heading to Sask. . The diamond amongst these ruffians is the 1938 General Motors Company truck, second to last here.
"Here's a few other 'trucks on trailers' that I have seen . They get bought at farm auctions and then they're off to their new life."
