 Hi Photographer friends,

I am in Maryland with my daughter. We drove around in Pennsylvania,  and I think I found the Holy Grail of Old Cars junkyard. It is located in Delta, and it looks like it's the only thing going on in Delta.










Thank you for reading,

Old Cars Weekly Post - Chevrolet Towing Truck from a Pentax K10D viewpoint

As I wrote last week, I will post pictures of old cars and trucks once a week.

This week, I found some pictures of an old Chevrolet towing truck I took last spring. The pictures were taken with my Pentax DSLR at the entrance of Sequoia national park. If you know what the production year this old truck is, let me know.


This old towing likely rescued many stalled vehicles and from its size, other big rigs as well. I assume that this is going to be is final location, except if the owner is thinking of restoring it to its former glory. That would be a great project. I have never seen an old towing like this one before. In the early years, towing trucks were usually much smaller.

If you happen to drive to the park, the towing was located in the town of Three Rivers, about one mile before the official entrance to the park, on the right side of the road when driving toward the park.



Thanks for reading,

Route 66, Victorville, California, Old Studebaker Pick-up truck

Today was January 1, 2008. Most businesses were closed. I didn’t have anything in particular to do so I drove downtown Victorville on old Route 66. There is a Route 66 museum but of course it was closed also. I stopped at a local restaurant that adorns Route 66 paraphernalia. I didn’t go inside the restaurant, which I will some other time, but there was this old Studebaker Pick-up truck and an old Chevrolet sedan in the front yard.

I thought I would share a few photographs of the Studebaker with you.

I love cars and especially old cars. In the weeks ahead, I will post pictures of old cars about once a week. I won’t get all technical about it, just pictures of old cars.

Hope you enjoy the photographs, and thank you for reading,
