I saw this at a local shopping center. A Tesla with color changing paint, kind of a cool effect as you move around the car.

Speaking of EVs I've seen a lot of Rivians driving around lately. In the last month probably saw 4 or 5 Pickups and 6 or 7 SUVs. Many more than I normally see.

This late afternoon today, hope the next time I'm over in this area, the guy will have the cover off. Black, has a flame job on the front as near as I can tell.

Interesting.  Wasn’t aware of a museum section.

{Ford pickup}

A couple of vehicles spotted while taking our annual vacay in the great state of Maine... -RRR

There are at least 3 of those "unibody" Ford pickups in my town, one owner I knew from years ago.

Technically not "on the road" but next to it, in Prescott.  My town has become a haven for the wealthy retired demographic, I think the owner of a fairly new antique store moved from CA, and brought along his collection.  The prices are steep, but nowadays try restoring anything for that amount.  I love COEs, so that is what I took most pictures of.

I dig this '40 Ford.

Forgot to post a couple of pics.

As I mentioned previously, I left Ford and have a new job. I'm now in charge of sales & marketing for Arctic Trucks in Canada. I'm actually the only employee in Canada!

And I was playing with this AT44 last week.

44" tires and only a 3 inch lift from stock.

My demo truck is being built now, so will have one similar living with me permanently.

By way of comparison, I'm 6'6".

Unrelated (mostly) but what's a normal in-service life for a vehicle living off road in Alberta?  I'm willing to bet its longer than a similar truck of 40 years ago but not as long as a pampered one in Southern California.

Volvo truck 1971, it has an exemption from the environmental zone introduced in 1996 so that it can deliver coal to S/S Blidösund.
