2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz

I retired at age 69 in November 2022. In 2021 I'd just paid off my 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer GT, which I'd bought new replacing a 2011 Lancer, also bought new. I got in a fender bender on the freeway, and although the car should have only had damage to the front fender and hood repaired, the amount of electronics under the hood these days caused it to be a total write off.
I used the insurance money to purchase a neat little 2018 Mini Cooper Convertible. I paid it off before I retired. At first I thought it would be a neat car to drive on domestic trips but after two of them, where I hit potholes and had to get new expensive run flat tires for the 17" wheels, I vowed I wouldn't drive my convertible on long trips.
For the Wyoming trip, I rented a new Ford Edge SUV and loved all the safety features, and the comfort. Also the all wheel drive which made it easy to drive up into the mountains on dirt roads to take photos of ghost towns.
Last week I bought my own all wheel drive pickup truck. A fully loaded 2022 Hyundai Santa Cruz. Among other domestic trips I plan to purchase a small travel trailer, and go cross country in this truck in 2025, following the old Route 66 to Chicago.
The Santa Cruz wasn't "new", but only had one owner and only 9000 miles on it. Instead of a small convertible I should have bought something like this for my "retirement car" but then again, they didn't start making this particular model until 2022 and I'm in love with it. Frankly, (possibly because it's new to me) it's more fun to drive than the Mini!

Looking at the pipes on this thing, I rather doubt that it is driven like this on the street. There were a few trailers in the parking lot. It wouldn't surprise me if this one was trailed in.

I really liked the looks of the Dodge trucks especially 1946. I think the grille is great and the colors of this particular truck make it a standout along with the offsetting chrome. This beauty was seen at the Leavenworth Crusiers car show held at Ray Miller Park in Leavenworth Kansas.
Though its looks dated to before the war, the 1946 Dodge WC pickup was solidly constructed and powerful for its day.
Of course, when Dodge restyled around then-fashionable art-deco principles in 1939, nobody thought the resulting trucks would have to last until 1948. But World War II intervened, and the body dies were hardly amortized when truck production cranked up again in late 1945.
This prewar styling generation was initially called the T-series. It spanned a wide range of bodies, wheelbases and payloads, from the half-ton TC pickup on a 116-inch wheelbase to three-ton tractor cabs.
Looks lagged behind contemporary Dodge car design, but were in interesting contrast to the car's curved-nose look. Features included a barrel-shaped grille, crowned front fenders, and free-standing headlamps mounted in bullet-shaped pods.
These Dodge trucks enjoyed some popularity just before the war, and the last of them built in 1942, before Dodge turned to military production, were renamed the W-series.
When they resumed sales as the 1946 Dodge WC pickup, under their hood was a more powerful six, 95 horsepower, up from 75. Torque was a useful 172 lbs/ft. The body didn't look very different, but it was more colorful, however, available in black, green, orange, red, gray, and two shades of blue.
Postwar trucks also were more expensive -- but even at $925 the 1946 Dodge WC pickup was $120 cheaper than a comparable Ford, and some $300 below Dodge's least costly car.
This 1946 Dodge WC pickup is representative of the breed, and carries the optional under-dash heater.
Besides the pickup's "Express" bodywork, the W-series half-ton was available as a delivery truck with solid steel or open canvas-covered side panels, and in chassis, cab/chassis, and cowl/chassis versions.
Extra-cost equipment included a larger clutch, four-speed transmission, oversize tires, electric driver's wiper, heater, chrome windshield frame, adjustable visor, driver's armrest, dome light, turn signals, "airfoam" seat with leather upholstery, and --- real luxury this -- an AM radio.
Still, if Chevrolet's early postwar trucks looked dated, the 1946 Dodge WC pickup looked positively ancient.

On the way to the Grand Canyon we stopped in Seligman, a little town in Arizona on Route 66. I've never seen anyplace like this before. It felt like I was stepping into the Land that Time Forgot.
This is the town that inspired Radiator Springs for the Pixar film Cars. If you're a Disney fan. and in the area, you might want to stop by and see this little town.
