Tidy flick. Thanks zbillster.

I found this 1959 Chevrolet during today’s ride. Located near Middletown, NY.

That vintage of Impala always seems striking to gawk at.

The CB looks good too!

So I went looking for this truck a couple of miles from my house for this month's challenge ... but I guess things with wheels move around quite a bit. :dodgy:

Also, it was taken 5 years ago ... and I'm not sure if my CB was even born yet ...

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Beautiful, and beautiful white walls.

Is that a Piaggio Beverly? (next to the pick-up)

 

[the Ferret]

No, it's a Dodge.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

No, it's a Dodge.

lol - I noticed how the Piaggio got the larger parking space.

That's my old 2007 Vespa LX150.
Reliable but like working on a ship in a bottle.
Finally found a college girl to sell it to last year.

Here's the back end of the Dodge ... with the period fins.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Ah ya, of course, Vespa (owned by Piaggio).

Great truck - wouldn't want to use it for any real work.

GO, judging by the side molding, this car could have been an Impala or the middle line Bel Air. The car looks to be an incomplete restoration lacking any identification badges or trim.
However, I realize there can be different model designations between cars marketed in the US and Canada.

This picture is not fully in the scope of the Monthly Photo Challenge, as it was shot a few years ago (see my 2014 oct. ride report), but... Never meet this car again, I think it must be rather rare.

Shelby GT350, 1965 or 1966

Okay - never realized the vintage Impalas could resemble a Bel-Air (or vice versa).

I'd say ANY vintage Mustang is a rare sight in France, let alone a legitimate Shelby GT 350. Closer to their birthplace they are seen much more frequently. This one belongs to a 28 year old co-worker who bought it in Idaho for $12K and did a lot of the resto work himself. I should have taken a pic of the interior. I think some of us would be impressed. 289 in it now but want's to drop a V8 in...351 Windsor or a Cleveland.

 

[Ben70_imp]

If memory serves, I think the 289 is a V-8. Precursor to the 302...

[the Ferret]

Yes I believe it was called a 289 Hi-PO (high power?)

 

[Frulk_imp]

You’re correct. 289 is a V8 and one I was recommending he keep in it.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

The 'stang looks against the CB.

Went out truck hunting today ... Texas finally makes good.

First, a Studebaker ...

What's left of an International Harvester ...

A two-fer ...

So ugly it's pretty ... it looks like a pickup bed back there, so technically ...

Two with a fire truck (yes, two ... look closely) ...

Good riding day ... hot of course, but low wind, no rain in sight.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

That is quite the sweep zbillster. In this selection I would have to go with the Studebaker pickup with its own parking block.

Wait till the end of a Texas summer ... it will look just like the International Harvester.

Apparently, you can still get parts for it, too!
