Addie said:I love the truck. But then I love to live in yesteryear. It is nice to see that someone else appreciates well made vehicles. No computer in that one. I remember hauling the pigs to North Truro for slaughter in a truck like that. Floor shift, make an H. Very few dials on the dashboard.
I have been to a couple of car shows. There are the regular classics. '55 Chevy, orginal T-Bird, Mustang, 55 Ford Fairlane, etc. But it is the vehicles of the 30's and 40's that get the most attention. The biggest draw was the engines of the old trucks. The men just pour over them and drool. Then you get some farm woman who grew up with them and tell them the name of all the parts and the men just stand there and stare at her. They learned at a very young age how to drive them, stick shift and all, and repair them.
Addie,
Your post reminded me of my mother.
When she was 90 the assisted living facility had a classic car show and the CNA asked my mother if she would like to attend. My mother said I don't think so dear, I rode in most of them when they were new!
When I married my first husband, we had a '48 Chevy Roaster with a bumble seat and the starter was on the floor. I loved that car.
