This view looks to the north at the east side of the 400 block of Main St. I was delighted to find this fine Rat Rod parked on the southwest corner of the intersection of Main and Madison Sts., I think the cart was once a 1929 Ford Model A.
Savanna is a river town located along the banks of The Mississippi River and picturesque bluffs of Carroll County in Northwestern Illinois. Settled in 1828 by explorers from Galena, Savanna is one of the oldest towns in Illinois.
The town began as a Steamboat stop for runs between Galena and St. Louis, and grew as a logging, shipping and, eventually, as a Railroad hub. In 1917, the U.S. Army constructed the Savanna Army Depot just north of town. From WWII thru Vietnam, Savanna Army Depot served as a munitions maintenance and storage facility for traditional, chemical, and nuclear weapons. The Savanna Army Depot closed in 2000.
Located on the Great River Road, the city is trying to become more of a weekend destination, like nearby Galena. The city's business district is full of buildings dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. New ornamental lighting has been installed to complement the century-old buildings.
While the distinction of being the seat of Carroll County belongs to nearby Mount Carroll, Savanna is Carroll County's largest city (2019 population est. 2,717). It also is the only place in all of Carroll County where you will find a stoplight.
This home built rat rod was a mish-mosh of rusty parts with a giant blown big block mill, but it did have a nice lime gold metalflake firewall.

Happy Truck Thursday! It looks like this beast is a 1934 Chevy. I have to believe this is a fun ride!
