Gyores Express has taken over the spot formerly held by Rami ( www.flickr.com/photos/ezraw/4298271579/in/set-72057594077... ). I guess that this is temporary and Rami will return with the students.
This sign is awful, and since it doesn't mention gyros let's assume this isn't a typo, but I love the look of this step van.
You see a lot of quilted stainless steel on food trucks, but rarely quite so much. The back panel is fully quilted stainless steel and the front is painted a flat silver color. It's a great contrast and it really works for me. Same color, different finish.
Check out the big cage in front, probably a generator. You almost don't notice it, but it's huge.
The exhaust fan on top is not a style you see on these vans too much, I guess for practical reasons (?), but it reminds me of a chef's hat and it's another tone of silver added to the whole package -- aluminum. With the four other bits sticking out of the roof, it breaks up the smooth lines of the rest of the truck and makes it feel like there's something important going on in there. Which there is, if you are hungry.
So, yes, the typography on the sign is terrible, it's not painted, let alone hand-painted, but it breaks up the ocean of the polished stainless steel, which might have been too much without the sign, and the dimensions echo the dimensions of the van itself.
If I had to ask for a change it would be the wheels. I think white might have been nicer and it would add more contrast to the tires and street. The wheels appear to be painted the same silver as the front of the van.
Just a great food truck, simple design, understated color, but lots to look at.
Photographed in rural British Columbia, this is a 1960's Chevy 3000 Series forward control step van. The body was probably built by Grumman Olson however I cannot say for sure what year it is or which manufacturer did the bodywork because there are just too damn many versions of these. Chevy started making this series of vans around 1955 and continued doing so through 1967. They offered bodies by multiple outfitters with many different front end designs, some were badged as Chevy's others were not. Chevrolet also offered a larger Step Van King model starting in 1965. This is a very rare model because having scoured the internet I have not found another photograph of a Chevy step van with this exact front end styling. It has hubcaps from a GMC S15 pickup or Safari van.
It stopped raining and hailing just long enough for us to stop on our way back from Dick's and grab a few snaps of the old Metro delivery van. I was able to test out an Olympus 17mm f:2.8 I picked up at Kenmore today.

I see this one pretty much every day, but the light was nice, so here's another. I noticed today he's got a Dunkin Donuts sticker on his van.
Will UPS still deliver after a nuclear war or other world-shattering cataclysm?
I have no idea, but the driver of this particular UPS Truck drove up construction-torn Preston Street, torn apart for resurfacing, as far as he could (Spruce Street, a block north of Somerset Street) before a completely impassible pit made him get out of the van to deliver a parcel just north of Spruce.

I built something!
Two years ago I was asked (as usual) if I have a SWAT van that could be used in a potential Arkham set. I didn’t have one then (or did I?) but 30 minutes later I did.
Back then I figured that if it won’t be used, then I can always sneak it into something else as a taco truck or a TV van, whatever, but it went thru.
The build is pretty straightforward except for the front, that utilizes an odd combo of plates and brackets built in every direction on a footprint of a 2x2 brick to create the distinctive Chevy Stepvan headlight assemblies with it’s eyebrow turnsignals. No doors, as these things usually drive open, and since the doors are of sliding type, I don’t think it’s feasible in this scale.
As usual, I built it in different colors, and different lenghts, but the final product is pretty close to my initial sketch.
This is also the set where I was allowed to wish for an element for the first time ever in my career here at LEGO, and I went for a tyre that I needed for years now.
It’s a real gamechanger for me, and you’ll find that tyre from September 12th in the 76300 Arkham set.

The truck bodies, manufactured by the Metropolitan Body Company, were designed by Raymond Loewy.
I found this truck in a junk yard near the Mason-Dixon line. It had no drive shaft or carburetor and a nest in the intake manifold. Once I got that squared away, it ran, drove and stopped great. I did replace one tire. It is an oddball 18? inch or something.
