Here is a rare 1936 Hudson Terraplane pickup sent to me by Motorcity. What a sweet pickup!
I like how they copied the car lines in the front clip and front part of the cab.
Thanks for sharing MC!!!!

The thread didnt get hi-jacked. The starter saw the end of gearhead coming due and had the forethought to start a new one to keep the garage from foreclosure. I hadnt been aware of thread limits. So now I am so headed off the Sheriff myself. Pretty white truck. I bet that black one gets VERY good gas mileage. All you need is a very small horse that can fit. I am glad to see you all made the walk down the street to the new garage. Free donuts for all!! I was watching the nut jobs on Top Gear. One was running a McClaren! Now..you know I dont cotton to sports cars except old Jags. But that is actually a nice looking car. And unreal...ran 190 mph using BOTH the electric engine AND the gas. Electric filling in the gaps between firing on the gas. 900 horse. And it is designed to change "shape" the faster it goes. Also sowed a Zenvo...233 mph and 1000 horse. Now boys..what are the horse on US cars. I am thinking around 400? The Zenvo costs 300,000 Pounds. Okkkkkk. So it costs ? A reaaly lot? Joe sent me the link to youtube for My Classic Car. The show he got the pic with "Mustache"...and in the background is his brother D*ck and Weaver and can see The top of Joe's truck, Weavers grey and a bit of D*ck orchid. Now..why couldnt they have filmed a bit further down. I never realized til watching on youtube, just how much of those shows are info ads for the sponsors.

I have never owned a classic vehicle. If I were to choose which I would want it would be an El Camino. I've always admired them. Guess it's the country in me and closest to a pickup truck as one can get yet not. If I owned one, I'd drive it, and that would be a shame to abuse it.

I go to two main car shows each year the Ducktail and James Dean both close to each other and held the same time with a town between having a huge motorcycle show as well..
I see the beauty but really know nothing much about cars.. This I took at James Dean and his show showcases the mercury

Nah! There is no grease on them!! What kind of mechanics with no grease!? I notice that A is running new tires and not the original thin ones. Although..those skinny tires used to cut through mud way better. Not enough suction to grab them. Down boys!!! Sheesh! That is a pretty Merc. Now if they would paint it something other than pee YELLOW!!!

Why does that greenhouse bug remind me of the Alien monster that tried to eat Sigurney Weaver? And that rat is a mess! Joe forwarded me a youtube of one called "Go granny go." She is 101 and drives around in her 19...uh...36? Packard touring car. She changes her own oil and does maintenance and is spy and good looking yet. Gives me hope! One pretty car for sure. Boarder called just after he left for work..van conked out along the way. Sorry..cant tow it with the car, truck is parked for winter. And not driving in this cold to rescue him when I told him 3 weeks ago to get AAA. Call the shop to get it. I am a meeeaaannnn b*tch.

At least ten hoses coiled, and probably a huge pump for the piece of rigid black hose. No telling what else is in there! !
The most obvious - color of the vehicle. DUH ! ! !
Of course it's a chief's car.

I see car shows are starting up around here. I cant imagine anyone taking their babies out on the salt and sand roads! Plus the fact that every winter, all the residents find out ..THEY NEVER DROVE ON ICE BEFORE!! Geeze people! There have been more major pileups this year across the country! I dont even care to take the Impala out if I dont have to. Getting the skull smooth that will go on the truck hood. Pretty soon will need to breakout the bondo to sculpt further. Nothing beats the smell of bondo in the living room. Screw Glade!
