Happy Truck Thursday!
This baby parked next to us at a bar (go figure) in Packwood, eye popper for sure. Can't speak to the fuel mileage, but I bet it scoots. :-) If you like shtuff like this, check out Christie's Files, I thought of her when I took it.

Kicking Off Summer With Lots of Classic Americana at the Annual Halfway Car Show
A blast from the past in Halfway Oregon along the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway
What a great start to the summer enjoying old classic cars and small-town charm.
This sweet 1941 Willys was photographed at the 2021 Great American Beach Party Car Cruise on my recent trip to Florida.
Back to the Fifties car show.
Edited in Deep Dream Generator then used as a texture over the original.
Unsure if this is a '39 Ford Deluxe or a '40 Ford Standard. I don't really know the difference.
This is the actual car bought by Larry Watson new at the time of the big 4 passanger T Bird's introduction on to the market. He customized it as shown within a matter of weeks and the rest is history.

Fifty years ago you would have seen several of these on every high school parking lot in Southern California. They were just another twenty year old car (though a desirable one) then, ideal for the teenagers first vehicle. Today it's usually just about impossible to tell the kid's cars from those of the faculty.
Taken at the Fastiques Rod & Custom Car Club's Pumpkin Run Nationals car show and swap meet held at the Clermont County Fair Grounds in Owensville, Ohio.
Appropriately this was taken at the annual Spring Grove Car show held in Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Because I love Packards from this era, my jaw dropped when I saw this. Immediately, I wanted to take pictures of it, but the hood was up and all the doors were open revealing all the changes and bling. I asked the woman standing by if she was connected to the owner. She said it was her boyfriends and that he was off registering the car for the show. I asked if she would close the doors and hood.
She agreed and proceeded to do so. I took some shots and then the owner returned. I hope he didn't chew her out for closing everything. I told him that his car made my day and relayed that I had attended a camp in Vermont when I was 14 . The owner/director of the camp drove around it in a Packard phaeton of a similar vintage and he let kids wet from swimming ride with him on the leather seats. The year after I last attended the camp, he got a hearse just like this one.
The body is original and was made by the Henney Motor Company of Freeport, Illinois, but that is about all that remains original. Among all the changes made to the interior and running gear probably the most notable is the 468 big block Chevrolet with a 671 supercharger. The total package is stunning, but to be perfectly honest, I think I'd prefer that it had been restored to it's original condition throughout other than perhaps better suspension and brakes. While beautiful, I'd prefer a more stately color like black, navy or maybe a dark maroon. Still there is no way I'd complain about anything.
