We’ve updated our incomplete work from yesterday, and hey . . it’s May, tugster is away, and that makes it a perfect time for another installment of . . . truckster!
For starters, how about a 1950 F-1 on the street in Queens!@#!
Along the road on a recent tugster road gallivant and inside the Outer Banks . . . we spotted this 1952 Ford, made to [attempt to] play in a place like the Dismal Swamp maybe.
Speaking of saltwater, this 1952 (?) GMC has been exposed long enough for a sweet patina.
Having slept in a tent recently near a rooster farm, tugster wonders what sound a rusty rooster makes.
Talking patina, he caught this early 1950s Chevrolet in the low-angle morning light, in Washington . . . NC that is.
There’s patina, and then there’s post-patina, but the guy selling this told tugster he could throw a battery in this CJ and she’d start right up . . .
How about this one from a Great Lakes mariner, spotted not far from Lake Superior? I’d say a camo Dodge M37? Under all that snow, there might be a little patina as well.
On another Queens street, tugster saw this and wondered if patina can be translated into Italian . . . actually patina is the same in English and Italian and you won’t find any here.
And to round this post out, tugster was returning from a Shawngunk hike the other day and saw this beauty, a 1950-something Studebaker, a real beaut.
Love the milk can and produce crates in the back?
Thanks to a Great Lakes mariner for sending along that snowy pic; all the others, WVD, as he prowled the backroads and who thinks that not much says gallivant more clearly than old trucks . . . . Complete text here by the renegade robots, who want to stress that they met their deadline today.

When I regularly hiked in South-Eastern Mass, there used to be an old automobile junkyard in Wrentham ( I think). Over the years, the woods had overtaken the yard, and trees grew up in them and around them. Most were old beauties from the forties and fifties. When we reached the junkyard, we knew the hike was almost over. About ten years ago, the development craze hit that area, the trees were cut down, and the cars were carted off for “restoration. “

Speaking of old cars, when will Jeepster make an appearance?

Bob- The red paint on the Jeepster is getting a redo, so it’s back in the primer. The work now is also very small details getting it ready to pass NYS inspection, eg, getting a license plate light on it. Once it passes inspection, I’ll post more pics. Thanks for asking.
