Here is a pair of 2nd generation 2004-2017 Volvo VNL sleeper cab semi trucks. I photographed these 2 weather beaten road warriors in Scottsdale, AZ.
Photographed in Las Vegas, this Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol State Trooper suv is the new 2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility (known as an Explorer if your not a cop). Much better looking than the previous 2011-2015 and 2016-2019 Explorer models. The rear lightbar was on but I was not able to capture it from my vantage point.
This is a 2015 - 2020 Dodge Charger Pursuit model from the Dublin, CAL. Police Department. The black, white & green paint scheme is rather unusual for California where few law enforcement agencies deviate from the regular Plain Jane black & white. The green trim & clover leaf star is an homage to - you guessed it - Dublin, Ireland. Dublin did not incorporate as its own city until 1982 but this part of Alameda County was referred to as Dublin unofficially since the 1890's due to the large number of Irish immigrants who settled in this area. The Charger was introduced once again as a performance car model by Dodge back in 2006, I think the updated 2015 styling is the best to date. It has just the right combination of modern badass looks and 1970 muscle car retro charm.
1999 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, the last old school style cop car, 35mm scan. I've uploaded all the shots I took of it because this is a small department and I like these old V-lightbars. I consider these last generation Crown Vics to be classics because even though many are still in service with departments throughout the U.S. & Canada they are quickly being phased out.
Photographed by me in Twin Falls, ID in 2018 (from my car using zoom lens). This suv is a 2016-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. These are my least favorite Ford Explorers from a design perspective, not as good looking as either the 2011 or 2020 models.

Photographed by me in 2012 this huge International Paystar 5000 water tanker was owned at the time by RMR Water Trucks a rental company in Los Angeles county. This is a 1st generation International Harvester Paystar which was produced from 1972 through about 1992. International introduced a somewhat more modern looking 2nd generation Paystar in 1993.
The Audi R8 is a sports car with a longitudinally mounted mid-engine, and uses Audi's 'trademark' quattro permanent four-wheel drive system. It was introduced by the German automaker Audi AG in 2006. The car was exclusively designed, developed, and manufactured by Audi AG's high performance private subsidiary company, quattro GmbH, and is derived from the Lamborghini Gallardo.The fundamental construction of the R8 is based on the "Audi Space Frame", and uses an aluminium monocoque which is built around a space frame. The car is built by quattro GmbH in a newly renovated factory at Audi's 'aluminium site' at Neckarsulm in Germany.
In 2005, Audi announced that the name of the successful Audi R8 race car would be used for a new road car in 2007, the Audi R8, based on the Audi Le Mans quattro concept car, appearing at the 2003 International Geneva Motor Show, and 2003 Frankfurt International Motor Show. The R8 road car was officially launched at the Paris Auto Show on 30 September 2006. There was some confusion with the name, which the car shares with the 24 Hours of Le Mans winning R8 Le Mans Prototype (LMP), and also the 1989 Mk2 Rover 200, codenamed R8.
AUDI AG unveiled the Audi R8 V10 on 9 December 2008. It uses a 5.2 litre FSI internal combustion engine, based on the unit in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (which in turn was based on the 5.2 FSI V10 as used in the Audi C6 S6 and Audi D3 S8), but is re-tuned to produce a power output of 386 kilowatts (525 PS; 518 bhp), and generate 530 newton metres (391 ft·lbf) of torque. Compared to the V8 variant, the R8 V10's performance numbers are enhanced. Audi states the new 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0.0 to 62.1 mph) time as only 3.9 seconds,[3] 60 to 124 miles per hour (97 to 200 km/h) in 8.1 seconds, and a top speed of 317 kilometres per hour (197.0 mph). Other changes to the V10 version of the R8 include some aesthetic differences: such as all-LED headlights (a world-first), interior enhancements such as Bang & Olufsen 465 watt sound system, and a more aggressive body styling, larger rear brakes and unique roadwheels.
Parked outside the Tattered Cover, Denver's original used book store, this classic sits awaiting the return to the road.
I photographed this vintage tanker truck in Virginia City, NV. It is a 1947-1953 GMC Advanced Design Series 5 window medium duty truck. Any further identification beyond this is a virtual impossibility (without being able to see the dmv registration papers or interior VIN plate) since there are literally Dozens of different combinations of models that this GMC could be all of which had this same basic styling. This is a shortened version of a longer more detailed article I’m writing about GMC truck history. FYI, I am claiming full copyrights to what you read below. So, if anyone on Flickr or elsewhere wants to copy what I have written for non-commercial use in presentations, printed materials, websites, online chat forums or social media pages then feel free to do so but be Absolutely Sure to cite me first (David S Baptist TruckShots81). The same citation requirements go for all photos taken by me that I have posted on my Flickr page.
The Chevrolet Advanced Design Series pickups (also referred to as the GMC New Design series) were introduced in 1947 and were GM’s first entirely new truck design post WWII. The Chevy & GMC pickups and light or medium duty chassis-cab models continued mostly unchanged until 1954 when they were restyled with a single piece windshield and a glitzier more prominent grille. The Advanced Design Series GM trucks continued on until halfway through 1955 when the Chevrolet Task Force and GMC Blue Chip pickups were introduced. There were really not many differences between the 1947-1954 Chevy and GMC light duty trucks other than styling tweaks and engine choices. The Chevy trucks featured a 90-horsepower 216 cubic-inch ThriftMaster OHV inline six engine. Half-ton & 3/4-ton pickups were offered with a standard three-speed manual transmission, a four-speed was optional. For 1954 a new standard 235 cubic-inch OHV six-cylinder engine producing 112 horsepower and 200 ft-lb. torque was introduced. The automatic Hydra-Matic transmission also began being offered as an option for light-duty trucks.
GMC trucks used Pontiac six-cylinder engines until 1939 when they introduced their own line of GMC exclusive I6 engines. For their light to medium duty trucks GMC offered their 228-cubic-inch (3.7 L) OHV (overhead valve) I6 engine along with a 248-cubic-inch (4.1 L) I6 (with 125 HP in 1954) and a 270-cubic-inch (4.4 L) I6. The 228 engine was used in 100 through 280 models, the 248 was used in medium duty 300, 350 & 400 series trucks while the 270 “Workhorse” engine went into the heavier 450 & 470 models. The GMC I6 was replaced by their new V6 engine in 1960 which GMC continued making until 1974 (when GM ended production of all GMC built 6 cylinder engines). The GMC truck line really begins distinguishing itself from their Chevrolet cousins when it comes to heavy duty commercial trucks such as the HC series which debuted in 1949.
WW2 era GMC’s were classified in an extremely convoluted soup of never-ending numbers and/or letters. (Their fraternal twin trucks badged as Chevy’s utilized a similar wide-ranging spreadsheet of alpha-numeric model ID’s but to a lesser extent than their GMC counterparts did). Whatever combination of numbers or numbers and letters that ended up in a trucks name was usually related somehow to its payload capacity, towing capacity, engine, truck type (straight truck, tractor, coe, etc.) and/or number of drive wheels. GMC marketing wizards divided their truck line into no less than nine individual series of trucks based upon weight ratings & payload capacities. The brackets started with their lightest 100 series pickups & panels then went all the way up to their 900 series Class 8 type heavy duty big rigs. Chevrolet sold both light and medium duty conventional and cab-over-engine trucks but they never sold their own versions of the heavy-duty GMC 600, 700, 800 or 900 series trucks. These heavy duty models, which came in both conventional & coe form, had their own separate cabs and distinctive big rig front end styling.
This old GMC has to be one of their trucks with at least a 1.5-ton payload capacity because these GMC’s almost always had a 4 bar grille. Therefore, I have concluded that this GMC could be any of the following model numbers or alpha-numeric combinations most of which fall into their 300 & 400 series: It could be a GMC 300-24, FC-300, FC-301, FC-302 or FC-303, 350, 350-24 two ton conventional, 350-27, 351-24, 400-27 gas, 404-27, 450-30, HC 450 & HC 470 conventional (470 = 2.5 tons), M 450-30 conventional gas, 450-37 conventional, 470-30 conventional, M 470-30 conventional gas, etc. I’m sure I have missed a number of other model possibilities in addition to those I just listed. Funny thing about old GMC truck names from this era is that some of them completely intruded onto what is now Ford’s turf with names such as F 350 or F 450-30. So actually Ford you were a full year late to the game when it comes to trucks named F or F-series (since the Ford F-Series F1 and higher trucks came out in 1948). The sheer number of truck models that GMC offered post WW2 is completely astounding, it took me more than several days of research just to write this short article and I haven’t even gotten into the 1955 Chevy and GMC 2nd Series trucks.

This is a 1958-1960 Ford C-700, photographed by me in Grass Valley, Oregon. The Ford C-Series cab over engine trucks were produced from 1957 to 1990. During its long 34 year lifespan the only real styling changes included the addition of quad headlamps from 1958-1960, the addition of side marker reflectors from the Ford F-Series pickups in 1968 and a logo update. These rigs originally had the crown shaped lightning bolt logo found on 1950's Ford trucks, that logo was eliminated after 1974 and the Ford blue oval logo was finally added to the cab in 1984. Quad headlamps continued to be offered as an option after 1960 but only on C-Series trucks sold as fire apparatus or other emergency vehicles.

The Ferrari F50 is a mid-engined range-topping sports car made by Ferrari. The F50 was introduced in 1995 to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary. The car is a two door, two seat convertible with a removable hardtop. It has a 4.7 L naturally-aspirated 60-valve V12 engine that was developed from the 3.5 L V12 used in the 1992 Ferrari F92A Formula One car.
Only 349 cars were made, one fewer than Ferrari estimated they could sell. This was, in the words of Ferrari spokesman Antonio Ghini, because "Ferraris are something cultural, a monument. They must be hard to find, so we will produce one less car than the market." The last F50 was produced in Maranello, Italy in July 1997.
