Calgary Alberta,
It needs a little work, has some rust spots, and the windshield has a small crack in it. With a good tune up, an engine, some brakes, new tires, transmission, and removal of the mice nests she'd run great.

Posting this classic truck to let you know I'll be on the road this week therefore -- I won't have much opportunity to comment or post again until Sunday evening.
Please save all your good photos for when I return.
The more I think about buying a new car, the more I know I'm going to miss this one...if headlamps could weep....
Hasn't been cleaned in months, last got new oil in around 1998 - no wonder it feels neglected.
Photographed @ the 2017 Jalopy Jam Up held in the Frontier Ghost Town, West Grey, Ontario.

Silverton seems have an abundance if wrecked cars and assorted abandoned car parts. This heap is from the front of Silverton Cafe.

"I ain't following anybody, doc."
"This jalopy is."

The front of an old ChrYSLER car - what my parents would have called a jalopy - covered with leaves, in Talent, Oregon.

Shaniko History
As the five transcontinental railroad systems opened the United States to enormous economic growth from 1862 - 1893, the spur called “The Columbia Southern Railway” would open the eastern interior of Oregon for easier more profitable business. Papers were filed by the railroad company in 1897 to run track from the Columbia River at Biggs to a high grassland spot above the old stage stop of Cross Hollows. This was only to be a temporary terminus location and was decidedly named Shaniko.
Cross Hollows was operated by second owner, August Scherneckau from 1874-1887. He was well liked by the Indians, who could not pronounce his German name correctly. They called him 'Shaniko', thus the name chosen for the new and promising city. The Townsite Company bought the land from the third owner for $3,500 in 1899 as the railroad continued to lay track down through Sherman County. The Townsite Co. platted the town into thirty blocks. On May 13, 1900, the first train arrived to a few buildings and the tents that were pitched all over for the 170 or so people living in the infant town. The first wooden building built, a saloon, was operational.
Unfortunately, the railroad tracks could not to go any further than Shaniko due to terrain issues and the great railroad race of Harriman and Hill built tracks from the Columbia River along the Deschutes River, headed to Bend from 1908 to 1911. This put an end to the trek many grain farmers and livestock ranchers from the south previously made to Shaniko. The city, however, continued to meet many needs while approaching the slow decline. Most of the business district perished in a major fire in 1911; some never to be rebuilt. The people moved away, a few taking their homes with them. Though the railroad stopped service to Shaniko in 1942, people continued to live in the town.
Shaniko, Oregon is still classified as a Ghost Town even though people still live there. Once a place of legitimate community and commerce, it now survives as a shadow of its former existence. Ghost towns are categorized into three types: one still inhabited, one deserted, and one known only by the ground it once occupied.
With new interest in historic places in the 1960's, economic life began a slow revival. Today, the West lives on in Shaniko, as the community sees restorative changes and hosts events put on by the the City of Shaniko, Shaniko Chamber of Commerce and the Shaniko Preservation Guild. It’s a nice place to stay or just stretch your legs. The sunsets are beautiful and the sky can take you back a hundred years.
This vintage red truck - still handsome in its disrepair - was photographed through a broken window of a dilapidated garage near Colfax, WA.

We were quite happy to find this 1975 Marx Archie Jalopy in box! The box is worn but complete and pretty. The car is in fantastic shape with all bumpers and attachments are unbroken. It even still have the stickers!
We are thankful to have it, and I think Archie and the gang are as well! 😊
as received.
531ST tubing, Zeus 2000 crown, wrap-around brake bridge and stays. A motley smattering of RBW parts. How could one resist a mutt like this?
Well, I've been thinking of a newer vehicle for some time and when I get serious enough to buy, something happens. Either someone else has bought it or they've come out with a newer model, and the price has changed. How many great ones have I missed by this strategy.. I'll never tell. It would be a difficult admission.
