Old school truck

You won't see a lot of those trucks these days. Personally, I think they're pretty old school and that adds much to their mystique.

About the truck.

About the truck. Right now in Auto Trader.ca in the Ontario section there is a 1934 Dodge Brothers truck for sale that is the spittin' image of the truck in the picture, right down to the color.

Just beautiful. And yes, the wind in the trees has a painterly effect, reminds me of Van Gogh's "Cypresses."

Looks like a 1936 model, possibly 1935.

Can you feel the wind in the picture? Look at how it shapes the trees.
