Event Coverage Never know what you'll find along the road

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by choffman41, May 21, 2021.

  1. Took a trip through Idaho and Montana. Found a few trinkets along side the road. This is a small sample.

    Nice collection of road side eye candy. I like the 50, 52 Buicks and the single cab VW truck!

    I can't help but notice the big cross on the building on the left. Is this some kind of church?

    A lot of buildable cars! What's the story behind them?

    Ok, I'll ask.

    Reminds of R&C 50 years ago and their monthly "Vintage Tin" feature.
    Thanks for taking the time to photograph and post for the rest of us! Very cool stuff!

  7. Oh, I guess I forgot to post those pictures. I'll put them up when I get the roadsters home.

    When I see cars and trucks like these or at junk yards (not wrecks), I can't help but think that at one time they were somebody's brand new, bright and shiny, pride and joy.

    Living in Illinois and Wisconsin my whole life, I always enjoy my trips out west, and down to Tucson to visit relatives just because of this! Old stuff sitting around randomly.
    My brother in law in Hot Springs SD drives a ‘59 Apache for his wood hauler. Not because he’s into cool old trucks-he’s dirt poor and the thing won’t die or rust!
     
  13. Not only that red one there in the big pic. How about this one next to the sportscar.

    These are awesome Chuck! Could you tell us where specifically some of these are? Especially that first group up against the side of a mountain? Thanks in advance.

    There are a lot of great projects there in those pics. Some seem too nice to be just yard art.

    I like road trips for this sort of stuff. One thing, if you want to see these type of things stay off the interstates.
