    My son took the pictures as we did the slow cruise past it.

    Yes! The Buick looked good! That must be Texas mikes doppelgänger. Like mike you can tell the owner really takes pride in maintenance. I saw like a 93' lumina going down the road the other day. Looking like brand new being driven by an elderly couple, most likely on their way to church. It was flawless! Greased up tires and all. To think this isn't a sought after car and will eventually be extinct because no one ever cared for these middle of the road models and here this guy is treating it like a show piece. Love it!!!. I rolled down the window and gave him a big wave and thumbs up! He looked at me like I was crazy and coming down from a long night. He was half right. I feel like this is a lot of what we do here at the "SWF" . We take a shadow from the past, shine it up and turn the lights on it. so people say "oh #*$&!!! That IS cool! Your dog gone right it's cool! People stop me and say "I like your wagon!" To which I reply "thanks! This is my hot rod! So long suckers!!!

    Does this count? Yer dawg gone right it counts. Behold the original wagonite. Often known for dotting the trails west, the sante fe, the Oregon. Slowly progressing forward, traversing an ocean of grass fighting the Navajo, Comanche, and of course the dreaded tribes of Joseph smith. Living off the land, jerky, and hardtack. Take note all you westerners. THIS is your heritage on wheels IMG_2816.JPG

    It’s been awhile so I took the risk of taking pics while driving, even did a little technical driving to catch up to it. this one is cool! What is it?! EE505DC0-B3D5-43B8-A3D3-6CF4BB6C75E5.jpeg 50024F9F-5167-4A51-8F11-74E0FCA4557A.jpeg

    It's a delivery truck, just like a sedan delivery. If I had to guess, it looks like a Dodge?

    Hood's all wrong, but it's definitely mid-to-late Thirties, whatever make it is.

    Could have been a dodge. I only saw the front in the rear view mirror. I feel like I would have recognized a chevy. Lemme do some googling. See if I can’t jog my memory

    My wild guess is a 1946 Ford panel truck. Yet it looks so much like a Dodge of the 40's. It ain't a late model Subaru!:slap:
    A good photographer would know the year, make, model, address and the name of the owner.:camera:
