The Beetle Shop. Belfast, Maine.

Some years since out last visit to The Beetle Shop.













 

 

1958 Ford Skyliner, 1956 Buick Special. Pennsylvania.

 
Stephen Hendrickson caught these at a car show in PA. We posted on the same Ford Skyliner a few years ago. 1958 styling was a mis-step between '57 and '59, if  you ask me. Here's a 1956 Ford Fairlane convertible. And have a look at Troy Trepannier's  take on a 1956 Buick.  A 1956 Buick Special was the first family car that I can remember. Loved it.

1964 Buick Electra 225 Convertible. Swift Current, Saskatchewan

Alex Emond caught the boat in Swift Current. We have posted a 1960 Buick Electra from Brooklyn. And there was Langdon Clay's Electra, one of his Night Cars of New York series. We saw a 1967 Buick Electra 225 in Marfa.



 

Land Rover

Henry Behrens caught the L-R on the Maine Turnpike. Here are some more Maine Land Rovers.
 

1969-71 Jeepster Commando

Markus Anstadt caught it in Colorado. "...a little bondo showing, but looks very original." Here's another  Jeepster Commando posted a while back, with some additional links.









 

Maine /Canada

 Glad to see the Canadian flag respected here in Maine,  the 11th Province.

1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Blue Hill, Maine

  They were holding on that woodgrain vinyl into the 1990s. GM did the same for some of the whale wagons of the era. like this Buick Roadmaster. Here's another Grand Wagoneer in Maine which we may have mislabeled as an Eighties unit, but these didn't change much for several years. Bunch of Wagoneer links on this post. 

c. 1986 Chevrolet K-20, Maine.

Henry Behrens caught the truck on the Maine Turnpike. Here's 1975 Chevrolet K-20 Trailering Special we saw in Maine a while back. And a 1966  C-20 from the other Portland.


 

c. 1978 Ford F-350. Marfa, Texas

One of those old Texas ranch trucks David Branch has been rehabilitating.

1917 Ford Model T. Brooklin, Maine

We have posted on Wes Davis' book, "American Journey" about a 1913 trip across America in a Model T.Several more T links in that post.
