It's 27deg. and two days ago it was 72 deg. We really didn't need to flip those numbers! I must say though, it is kind of pretty. Looking to get a foot of the white stuff, before all is said and done.

Old Ford recovery truck from the former Mahy Fiat garage.
These truck models were the first new post-war trucks, which Ford USA could deliver.
This temporary exhibition was set up to honour the old Ghislain Mahy, by bringing back some iconic items from his collection to the place where it all began: the Ghent Wintercircus.
Unfortunately there were only 10 vehicles on display.
Ghislain Mahy (1907-1999) was a Fiat car dealer and classic car enthusiast who rented this old Wintercircus building for over forty years. Starting in the early 1950s he built up a collection of old and classical cars from more than 950 items. He bought them mainly in France. And many of them were just saved from the hands of car scrapers.
In 1995 Mahy had to leave this special place. His collection was partly sold, the rest was divided over two museums. Restored top cars went to classic car museum Autoworld, Brussels (about 230 items). But the majority, most unrestored cars, found a new home in a new founded car museum in the south of Belgium called Mahymobiles, Leuze-en-Hainaut.

This rare Unic truck was standing along the road, near a garage (or a scrap yard, this wasn't clear).
Unic is a very old French car and truck maker. The company was bought by Simca in 1952, in 1966 by Fiat V.I.
Finally the brand name and models were integrated in Iveco in 1975.
In 1984 the brand name Unic was dropped in favour of Iveco.
I don't know the exact model. Eric, Chris... please give me a clue :-)
Seen at Car Garage Martin Michel.
Production Unic Vosges this Auteuil cabin: 1960-1970.

Midwest Regional Tow Show sponsored by the Towing and Recovery Association of Ohio at the Great Wolf Lodge in Mason, Ohio.
It maybe because I'm partial to yellow, but this is one of the most beautiful towing and recovery trucks I've ever seen. Interstate brought it down from Chardon, Ohio (near Cleveland) and were preparing it for the beauty contest by going over every inch with polish. I didn't stay around for the awards and there were several very nice rigs entered, but this truck certainly should have been in the running for best in show. They don't get much bigger or better. WOW!
Interstate must be a pretty big company with locations around Ohio. Hopefully they'll bring more of their rigs to future shows.
Ringwood New Jersey Underwater Search and Recovery unit had a practice team in the water while I was getting my sunset shots. With many lakes around, and two major reservoirs, this unit gets more calls than one might think. They handle ice rescues, drownings, even recovery when one person decided to drive their car into the reservoir.
