I looked at the picture and thought to myself, "that has to have a Detroit in it" and then I read the intro!
Just seemed like a natural home for one!
Wonderful build!
Great weathering!
I almost can remember seeing that tractor sitting in the bone yard years ago!
Neglected old truck always make me sad. I try and envision what they must have been when new and wonder the stories behind them!
Have they been able to keep the lights on for you down there? I know it seems to be a really big issue because of the poor condition of the power grid prior to the hurricane.
Had a neighbor who's son was down there trying to help.(woks here for ComEd) He was there for 5 months until he got too sick and had to come home!
He dropped 30 pounds while there. Said he was spending most of his food money on the poor little kids that were hungry.
The cars of the 30's thru the 70's were sculpted works of art. You could see the heart and soul of the creator in the design and it was all pretty much done by hand!
Now they have all this high tech stuff (cad) at their disposal and can't come up with anything that does not have any appeal other than that of a jelly bean!
They can claim all they want that they design for comfort too because I have yet to see a car that does not seem to be built to hold anyone over 5 foot tall or weighing more than 120 pounds!
I saw when you walked by
The lovelight in your eye
And I knew I must try
To win you more than just a friend,
I'm starting near the end,
And I go again.
Great 60's band!
In Jr High and High School I was in a band and we covered some of their songs!
Itchycoo Park and Lazy Sunday Afternoon were the most requested of them!
