A simply eloquent 1955 Ford pickup all dressed up in its best gray flannel suit as seen in Topeka Kansas at the 2022 car show held at Mother Teresa's Catholic Church.
The dog-leg shape of the A-pillar and wraparound windshield indicate a model from the early 1960s, this one a 1962 model. Though similar to the concurrent Chevrolet pickups with the same body parts, the GMC models tended to feature large displacement V-6 engines of GMC design. Also, the GMC pickups tended to use quad 5-3/4” headlamps whereas Chevrolet tended to use two 7” lamps, one on each side from 1962-forward.
Beyond it is a 1968 Chevrolet pickup.

We attended the 59th Annual Phoenix, Arizona Scottish Games (and festival) during the first weekend of March, 2024. It was actually located in Gilbert which is SE of Phoenix by several miles. There was a British Car display that was part of the show which included quite a few Austin Minis including this pickup truck version.
Happy Truck Thursday!
For whatever reason whenever I see Dodge pickup trucks of this era they always seem to be this shade of blue! They must have been available in other hues but this is the color that always comes to my mind when I think of these.
An amusing feature of these was the ‘pie-tin’ headlight surrounds that gave the front a bit of a look of surprise. Not sure why Dodge chose to do this but they did. Ditto for their vans during that era. The model year of this was 1965-1967. I’m not sure of the differences within those 3 years.

The 1951 Ford pickup also introduced a new front end. Gone was a smiling horizontal-bar grille and inboard headlamps, replaced by a single-bar grille with three massive "teeth." Along with a wraparound front bumper, this gave Ford trucks a more aggressive frontal appearance.
A classic Rio Grande caboose has stopped briefly in Provo, Utah as the conductor chats with the trainmaster the afternoon of Dec. 28, 1976. DRGW 01490 was built in Rio Grande's Burnham Shops in Denver in 1959. Fun Fact: this car was originally ordered by Utah Railway, to become UTAH 70, but the order was cancelled.
I didn't realize they were true twins until I got home. Luckily, I just drove through the contestant rodeo gates, parked and there they were. The only one that knows that I was taking their pic was the pony up front, does this still classify as a candid? LOL Love seeing kids ride.
