I just love driving the backroads, keeping two eyes on the roads, and my third eye or two scanning for the unusual and interesting.
It seems that I’m not the only one, Lewis Cobb Jr. spotted this starved figurehead on a late model Freightliner Cascadia?
Early 1950s Studebaker towtruck?
1953 Chevrolet Suburban?
This one was so nice I did a walk around. Also, it was parked along a public street.
How about this 16-passenger monster truck? Help me out here with the year and manufacturer?
And this made me think of the 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but
when I passed, it was only cabbages towed behind an empty pickup, heading for the kraut plant. Phelps even has a Sauerkraut Festival coming up in a few weeks.
I guess if I had a box truck in the five boros, I’d paint it up also. Would this be fusion MesoAmerican East Asian?
Top photo thanks to Lewis, with more of his to come. All others by WVD, as I gallivanted the countryside. Here’s a truckadvertising a brew pub I saw but had no camera or designated driver!!

From a reliable trucker source, the red “army truck” is a GMC M211 . . . https://www.militarytrader.com/mv-101/m211-the-cadillac-deuce

Like the Truckster posts – the cabbages reminded me that here in Florida, old school buses with the tops cut off are used to harvest watermelons. My #1 son worked in the fields loading them when he was in high school.

Also reminds me of growing up around the cabbage fields around Racine Wisconsin. They would process the cabbages into kraut and then spread the waste on the surrounding fields as fertilizer. For a few months each year you thought the stink would eat the paint off your car! We all loved Frank’s Premium Kraut….but would drive miles out of our way to avoid the leftovers!
