Spotted: Vintage Working Vehicles
We start with an extremely rare, early Ford Ranchero. About 15,000 of these were built nearly 60 years ago - this is from 1957, the first year for Ranchero
Notice the similarity to this Ford coupe:
Whereas this little Ranchero is about 1962-63, when Ford moved this model to the Falcon platform.
There is also a Ranchero here, the blue one one back under the cover. It's a later model based on the Torino.
Now we shift to real trucks, preferably working
Not vintage or working, but blood red and vicious
This poor old Dodge looks ready to break in half
A rare GMC front-drive motorhome from 45 years ago, protected from vandals by a Mercury Cougar
Now an early GMC truck
A nice, clean El Camino
A moderately ratty El Camino
and a completely ratty one
Notice the Datsun Z in the driveway behind this truck? (we'll get to it later with the import cars)
Another, non-stock Bronco
Now the "cover photo" for today, a lovely Dodge truck
This starts a series of Dodge (Chrysler Corp) vehicles
In addition to the trucks, we saw lots of Mopar vehicles for Art:
Now for some more Pony Cars
Luxury cars come next, followed by imports:
This Jag has seen better days ...
I rarely see Rolls-Royces on my drivearounds. There's one other one but we haven't photographed it yet due to traffic, nosy neighbors, etc.
I cannot figure out what is going on with this Volvo! Those pipes are welded on, and yes, they are capped with soda cans.
That about wraps it up for today.

and glancing back at the rear wheels I knew immediately we had a "sleeper" here. My wife hopped out with the camera for a closer look.
The Blazer in front of it is pretty extreme, but look at the rear wheels on the Bel Air!
They are about 15-18 inches wide!
looks like it's actively driven too, the window is down and the door ajar
I'd like to hear those pipes roar....

Terrific Stuff!
your post are now the first thing I look at on this site. Interested to know if there is an equivalent in the US of the MOT we have in the UK. This is an annual Ministry of Transport test, costing around £50, which all vehicles have to undergo. Any vehicl...
No MOT in California
Some states, mostly in the Rust Belt areas, have annual safety inspections. It makes sense to take cars off the road if they are structurally unsafe. And it makes even more sense to fix lights, horn, wipers, steering and tires. I lived in the U.K. 25 year...
'67 Plymouth Barracuda, '68 Dodge Super Bee . . .
. . . '64 Dodge Dart 'n Plymouth Valiant - all good! The sweetest ride of all though, considering condition, was the '69 Pontiac Firebird 400 convertible. Not much of a GM fan personally, but Ponchos are the exception to the rule. Art
