A month ago a good friend called me up to inform me that the Route 66 Car Show was currently taking place down the street from his home. Of course, I rearranged my plans and was there within an hour. I am a huge race and hotrod fan, having had a few of my own hotrods during my life, one of which he had built from the ground up. It was a great celebration of not just old cars but of that era, people walking around dressed like James Dean and I saw quite a few Marilyn Monroe's as well.
Jay, That's my buddy, is a hard core race car driver and I used to pit crew for him at the Irwindale race track on thursday nights for "Bracket Night" We have a lot of history (40years). At 14 and 15 we used to hotwire his dads 500+ HP Big block mustang and tear up the streets and neither one of us having a driver license. We used to drive a 350HP Chevy Camera to junior high school and even parked in the principle's parking spot a couple of times...... :))))))
This is the first composition that I am kinda proud of, because I had crouched there with my camera on the ground waiting for something interesting to come into the reflection. As I sat there listening to the two guys next to me haggling over the price of a bottle of water, and the people behind me admiring the 100% chrome hydraulics system in the bed of this beautiful truck and the old stone church in the background. I had plenty of interesting elements but I thought with all these cool outfits here somebody interesting is bound to walk by. So I waited and watched and waited and watched, when out of the corner of my eye this kid comes strutting down the sidewalk like a mini gangbanger or something, with his red hat turned to the side in defiance, walking the opposite direction right past the sign that says "Kids Zone" :) All of that is there in the reflection.
Now I was praying that one of the Marilyn's or James Deans would come by, but the kid worked out cool too and I like the floating head in the reflection. :)
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my photos and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day everyone :)

Happy Truck Thursday! - A really nice Chevy pickup in a splendid color! Three exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
In 1957, Ford introduced the Ranchero, and established a new market segment in the U.S. of an automobile platform based coupé utility. In 1959, Chevrolet responded with the El Camino to compete with Ford's full-sized Ranchero. The original El Camino and Ranchero would compete directly only in the 1959 model year. The El Camino was introduced for the 1959 model year two years after the Ford Ranchero. According to Chevrolet stylist Chuck Jordan, GM's Harley Earl had suggested a coupé pickup in 1952.
The Chevrolet El Camino is a coupé utility vehicle that was produced by Chevrolet in 1959 and 1960, and from 1964 to 1987. Unlike a standard pickup truck, the El Camino was adapted from the standard two-door Chevrolet station wagon platform and integrated the cab and cargo bed into the body.
Introduced in the 1959 model year in response to the success of the Ford Ranchero coupé utility, its first run, based on the Biscayne's B-body, lasted only two years. Production resumed for the 1964–1977 model years based on the Chevelle platform, and continued for the 1978–1987 model years based on the GM G-body platform.
The 1982 (through the final 1987) El Camino sported a new frontal appearance with a crosshatch grille flanked by quad rectangular headlights. New under the hood for 1982 was a 105 hp (78 kW) 5.7-liter (350-cubic-inch) Diesel V8, which was also offered in Chevrolet's full-size cars. Though mileage with the diesel was commendable, it was an expensive option and would eventually amass a dismal repair record. Gasoline-engine choices were unchanged, except Chevrolet's 229-cubic-inch (3.8-liter) V6 was now standard in California-bound cars, replacing Buick's 231-cubic-inch V6.
In 1983, the 4.4-liter V8 was gone, leaving the 5.0-liter version as the only optional gas V8. The standard engine was again Chevrolet's 3.8-liter V6 with 110 hp (82 kW), though California cars, once again, got a Buick V6 with similar specifications. Continuing on the options list was the 5.7-liter V8 Diesel with 105 hp (78 kW). The sister Malibu sedan and wagon were discontinued after the 1983 model year.
For 1985, GM shifted El Camino production to Mexico, and the new fuel-injected 4.3 L V6 became the base engine through 1987. El Camino production ended quietly in late 1987.
I don't know the exact year of the one in the photos, but it's part of the final series produced from 1982 - 1987. I think it happens to be the nicest looking versions of the entire series made.
The Advance-Design is a light and medium duty truck series by Chevrolet, their first major redesign after WWII. Its GMC counterpart was the GMC New Design. It was billed as a larger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the earlier AK Series. First available on June 28, 1947, these trucks were sold with various minor changes over the years[3] until March 25, 1955, when the Task Force Series trucks replaced the Advance-Design model.
The same basic design family was used for all of its trucks including the Suburban, panel trucks, canopy express, and cab overs.
From 1947 until 1955, Chevrolet trucks were number one in sales in the United States, with rebranded versions sold at GMC locations.
While General Motors used this front end sheet metal, and to a slightly lesser extent the cab, on all of its trucks except for the cab overs, there are three main sizes of this truck: the half-, three-quarter-, and full-ton capacities in short and long wheelbase.

A glance into the studio yard of Texas artist David Adickes on Nance St. in Houston. Thank goodness the gate was open...
David Adickes was an American modernist sculptor and painter, best known for his 67-foot tall statue, A Tribute to Courage, honoring Sam Houston in Huntsville, Texas. He was born in Huntsville, Texas on January 19, 1927, and passed away on July 13, 2025.

A long way from its former life as a farm truck, this fully restored and customized Chevy has it pretty easy now.
