52 Tuesdays Challenge: Transportation

Everyone has those vehicles that you love for the body style, the speed or the looks. So for this week’s challenge I am choosing transportation!

I tend to like the old vehicles that you find left in the pasture where they rusted and show lots of use. It is because I wonder of the stories that go with them. So I am sharing some of my favorites and some you may not have seen before.

My all time favorite is this one from a 1954 Chevrolet 4400. You could tell by the wear and the “accessories” that it was a very long used work truck. This angle on the photo appeals to me as it seems to invite you into the door for the stories it could tell.

This second one is a favorite for the history behind it, also. An old truck found in rural Oklahoma and lived its life in the oil business.

Do you have any favorite photos or stories to tell about vehicles or transportation?

 


Headlights

Going thru photos again and found a pattern – headlights. Old cars, trucks and tractors. They all had headlights. So here is a collection for you! Enjoy!


Circles & Curves: Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge

Cee always hands out a good challenge! This one on circles and curves is no less challenging than the others. I had to think hard and look thru several folders of photos to find some worthy! And what do you think of when someone talks about curves? Well, if you are most of the guys I know it’s either the curves of a lovely lady or a lovely car. So I thought I’d go with the vehicle approach today. Hope you enjoy!

Chevrolet G60

On a recent trip to west Texas for hunting with my Hubby, I found this Chevrolet G60 in the field. I can’t seem to find a good bit of information on it or the MID equipment which is probably a vendor of PTO machinery. If you have any information please share!

Chevrolet 4400 1954 model in a pasture

Today, while driving around thru rural AR (Gentry) my hubby spotted this old house, barn and a gem of a truck. Of course, I LOOOOVVE old stuff. The history and the stories that live in them….!!!! So after looking over the pictures and doing some research I found out that it appears to be a 1954 Chevrolet 4400 flatbed truck. (here is a link to a restored model - courtesy of Wikipedia)  To add more to the story, there is a knob that reads “MUNCIE”. Come to find out this is a power take off more than likely added to it for driving machinery not on the truck – typically on tractors (another link to Wikipedia telling you about power take offs).

So enjoy a little bit of history and mystery!!
