Junk Yard Blues (Slide Guitar) Sunday

[Dr. Cranky]

Found this film and fell in love with that green vehicle (can anyone identify it--Ford? Plymouth?). Hope you junk yard lovers will enjoy it too.

[Harry P.]

Kind of creepy and sad, yet cool at the same time. But that dog at the end???!!!

[Dr. Cranky]

What do you want, Harry? Poodles are junkyard guard dogs too, and this one has the teeth to prove it! LOL.

[Funkster]

I would say that the Green truck is a International, late 30's or early 40's. From the badge that I see on the top of the grill.

[Tony T]

39 International D2 by the looks of it. (EDIT: Seems it could be 1937 to 1940 by search on Google Images)

This one identified as a 1937

This one identified as a 1940

Cool/sad video

Thanks, Terry . . . I love the colors on this build. I might do a 41 Chevy or a 37/38 Ford like that.

Tony, too bad there isn't a kit of this . . . perhaps a diecast?

[Junkman]

It's getting scary, Doctor.

The Atomic rats are currenty my prime inspiraton for playing slide guitar.

[Tony T]

38/39 Ford trucks have a similar styling to the cab and hood, but the grille is completely different...

1939 Ford

Somehow I've never thought of a poodle as "junkyard dog" material!

[Dr. Cranky]

I think that would make a great Hollywood movie, a gang of enraged junkyard Poodles . . . and you can train them to rob a bank.

Thanks, Jeff, what a beauty.

Standard Poodles are like their smaller cousins that you maybe used to seeing, but they will not hesitate for a minute to bite you if you're in their territory. I knew a girl in high scholl who had one. It scared the you know what out of me, and I had a German Shepard at home.

[uncle potts]

Great views, great tunes. Thanks for the nostalgic trip to my younger years.

Jeff, that is one cool truck! I'm guessing it has been hot rodded but maybe with a diesel, going by that DMaxx designation???

Awesome Video Cranky. The slide guitar was way cool . That old Corn Binder would make a great truck.

[crazyjim]

If I remember correctly, poodles were originally bred to be extremely nasty, mean dogs.

[Marcus M. Jones]

good posts Doc! loved the vid and the Guitar

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, Marcus.

Jim, like any type of dog, they can be trained (and bred) to be mean. This is how Pitbulls ended up getting banned (the only breed to be banned anywhere in the country) in South Florida. It's not the breed, it's the people breeding them for fighting and other nasty business.

Poodles are a hunting dog so they say , Just like a Lab,they love the water .
