The Aging Handyman
1957 Chevrolet Two-Ten 2-door "Handyman".
Have admired this beauty for about a year now from US HWY 53 on trips to Duluth, MN and stopped recently to ask permission to take a muddy walk and try to do it justice with my camera.

I admire this vehicle for a couple of reasons. My father had one when I was a kid (which he bought used in the mid-sixties) and I always loved the shape and utility of the vehicle. Imagine a two-door wagon. My dad used it like a pickup truck, but also hauled his five (at the time) kids around on occasion. The best was riding "shotgun" when he had a load of stuff in the back. He built a vacation cottage in northern Wisconsin in the mid-sixties and this vehicle was the work-horse hauling all of the building materials the 1-1/2 hrs from Green Bay, WI. He was a working man and a scrounger - many of the building materials he used to build the cottage were reclaimed. The cottage is still in the family and a great seasonal get-away.
The second reason I like this vehicle is that I am an aging handyman myself.
