This was parked in a diner's parking lot making any foto with a good background difficult. This is the only one I liked.

    Pure nostalgia! Sometime at about age 12 I learned to drive with our beat up old 49 Chevy pickup (on the farm we learned to drive at a young age). It's name was Tootles, 'cause tootle along was about all it could do!

    A nice capture. Your low point of view really helps accentuate the lines of this beautiful old truck. It's cool that the owner went with period correct, wide white wall tires.

    I don't know where I'm going, but I'm going anyway.

    Nice shot, willard3. You can understand the frustrations I experience all the time in shooting car shows.

    Gladly, this old truck seems to have been restored to original condition...as opposed to a current trend of retro-modding. Under that approach, this old beauty would have been subjected to some custom body work, fitted with a modern high performance motor, and given a modern suspension.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
