Photographed in Nevada's state capitol Carson City, 2001-2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 extended cab pickup. Carson City was named after American frontiersman Kit Carson. This truck along with USFS Engine 411 completes my fire dept vehicle uploads for this week.
Photographed in Sheldon, IA. This is a very rare vehicle, I have never seen another delivery van like it anywhere else, not even a picture of one. This is a 1958-1961 Chevy Apache 32 based Forward Control step van. It took me ages to identify this truck because the body was built by a small manufacturer called General (no relation to GM/General Motors).
Chevrolet Forward Control vans could be purchased with bodies from several different builders. I believe General in old Chevy brochures refers to General Truck Body a company that still exists and has been around since 1919. Lighter duty Chevy 10 through 40 trucks kept the Apache designation from 1958-1961. Starting in 1962 Chevy pickups & commercial trucks became known as the C/K series. The gaudy white paint around the edges of this one was done by the owner and is not standard on these vans.
This was parked near the RSL, its a Chevy Cheyenne stepside ute and was still in LHD, never seen a Chevy Cheyenne in Australia before as GM Holden here sold the Chevrolet Pickups around the same time so there was no need to import one like this.

This classic light duty recovery truck is a 1983-1986 Chevrolet C/K Series K30 or a 1987-1988 Chevy R/V Series V30. I photographed this California style tow truck in Olympia, WA a few years ago. This repair shop is now out of business.
Code named GMT400, 1988-1998 Chevy C/K & GMC Sierra pickups (1988-2000 for 2500 HD & 3500 models - 2002 for 3500 HD's) are the best looking fullsize GM pickups of the last 30 years from a design perspective. It's amazing how much smaller, lower and spartan fullsize pickups were back in the 90's compared to the fancy & expensive models produced today. This 1994 tow truck didn't even have an airbag (driver side airbags debuted in 1995 on the C/K & Sierra). The minimalist grille & one piece optional chrome bumper of this 3500 base model are minuscule compared to the tall front ends of current trucks.

Chevy 1941
Over the weekend I saw this gorgeous old lady parked next to Satucci's wineyard in Napa. I tried my best to get this to be what I saw. Not quite but almost there.
The skin was a beautiful patina of rust and green. The hood almost popping off and saddled with a sign off to the side. Amazingly, the tires were immaculate. Kind of an old horse put out to the pasture.
The Chevy pickups of that period notably had a combination of horizontal grille work at the top and vertical grille work below. Headlamps sunk into the front fenders. These and a bevy of other features made it quite a streamlined Chevy, more modern looking than the T-series Dodge and the 1941 Ford, if not quite as sleek as the new Studebaker M-series or International's K-line.
The Fox Theatre in Hutchinson, Kansas is considered one of the finest examples of art deco theatre architecture in the Central United States. As a movie palace it was part of a social, architectural, and entertainment movement that saw its heyday in the US between 1915 and 1945. It had seen better days when I lived here in the late 70’s but has since been through a significant, and expensive, restoration.
I’ve been wanting to shoot it forever but unfortunately it's not in use every night and the lights are only switched on when there's a show on and I was never around when it in use. In April 2009 it turned out that the Saturday before I left to return home to Ireland was a night for Blood, Sweat & Tears to perform a special show so I cleared my schedule and got my gear ready.
Unfortunately a severe rain storm blew in just before dusk and ruined my chances of getting the shot I had planned. When I arrived the rain was still pelting down so there really wasn’t a chance of setting up my tripod, besides there was a real danger of getting drops of rain on the lens, thus ruining any shot I took.
Despite the rain I decided to try shooting hand held with higher ISO and with the lens hood deployed. As luck would have it there was an old style Chevy pickup parked just outside the theatre so I tried to juxtaposed this against the bright lights of the canopy reflected on the wet road
Although I was planning for a special dusk shot, I ended up with my own version of “The Last Picture Show”!
