In decent shape, all things considered. I like these old trucks. ] 1973 or newer, judging by the body contours. My brother-in-law in Airdrie has a similar version sitting in his yard since the mid-90s. I'm amazed at how nice a shape it's still in.

LL3 Model Worx Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I have so much respect for these little trucks... they are absolutely the toughest things on 4 wheels. I've saw them used for almost everything from campers like this, to box trucks, to tow trucks, and even "light tanks" in some of the less stable areas of the world. My buddies granddad owned one that was a blood red box truck we called "the red barron" it has over 700k on the odometer and still keeps going somehow. It's been hit, caught on fire and partially submerged and still goes. So every time I see one in their various regalia it makes me smile and laugh 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Saw a couple sharp older trucks in parking lots this afternoon. A very clean ‘92-96 Ford F150 XLT regular cab long bed in an unusual two tone—like an orange with tan insert down the side. Looked like original paint. Later saw a clean mid 90s teal GMC Yukon 2dr w/ 6.5 turbo diesel decals. Don’t recall ever seeing a 2dr GM diesel SUV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSchnell Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Certainly one of the more odd/unusual things I've seen on the road. I had to look it up once I got home. Vixen motorhome. BMW diesel powered. I wish I could've got more pics but I had places to be, the rain didn't help either. The 2nd pic is from Wikipedia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Junkman Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) Santa Rosa, CA. I consider myself pretty well versed on (especially) old cars but I'm not quite sure what this is. Nash? Packard? Plymouth? 2nd or 3rd time I've seen it but first time the Gods smiled on me for a photo.

keyser Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) Packard, 47-49-ish. Bathtub. I think it’s a 48 Standard coupe, not a Super or Deluxe Edited December 15, 2022 by keyser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My great aunt and uncle had one of these Packards. According to my dad they never figured out how to make the heater work and always carried a horse blanket in the front seat, literally.
