1940 Chevrolet pickup. Deer Isle, Maine

We caught Lee Levant's truck at the Deer Isle Country Club. Another Chevrolet truck, same era, in Arundel Maine a few years back. And how about the Swiss 1940 Chevrolet? And another 1940 Chevrolet, in midcoast Maine. They made. a lot of these trucks, and they hung around. Like this one in Saskatchewan. Going a little off-topic here but how about the 1940 Chevrolet woodie we caught in Santa Barbara...

Flamin' 52 Ford

 

From Stephen Hendrickson, in PA: "Flamin’ Ford at the hardware store.  I think from looking at different years on Goog that it  would be ‘52.  He spent all the $$ on the flames, the rest is peeling."

AL: we caught a '53 Ford Victoria in Portland ME, and a 1954 Ford Crestline asleep in a backyard in Roy, New Mexico.

1976 Lincoln Mark IV Las Vegas

  From Michael Moore, in Las Vegas. The car hasn't run out of its luck but I wonder if the driver took off in an electric scooters from that stand in photo 4. Compare to the 1976 Lincoln Mark IV Givenchy we posted last month from NJ.

1962 Plymouth Valiant, Cambridge MA

Pontiac GTO. North Texas

 

From Don Culbertson: "Anyone want a GTO? This treasure is languishing in a field near Archer City, Texas

Purposeful 1985 Ford F-350 work truck

 

From Reid Cunningham: Given the recent square body Chevrolet work truck with a small dump body, I thought you might appreciate the Ford equivalent square body dump truck. My guess is an F-350, and it's got a manual.   In Amherst NH.

When Buick Had Wings (1960 Buick Invicta Wagon)

 

...and the 1960 model year cars all across GM were considerably toned-down from the 1959s, when flightiness had reached its peak. This car is on the block right now at Hemmings. Tthe most extreme of the outrageous was perhaps the 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop. Then there was that un-shy 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood. And you already know about Autoliterate's 1959 Pontiac thing.  More crazy '59...

1970 Dodge Dart Swinger

  From Reid Cunningham: In the parking lot of a body repair shop in Manchester NH.  A work in progress, the car has no interior, and the front end sits so high that I suspect there is no engine.  The hood may be from an earlier Dart, but it looks racy on this one.  Maybe it will make it back to the road before the snow flies again here in New Hampshire
