Visited Marathon, Texas last weekend and found interesting old metal. I like this Ford F600 because it's rugged and plain, without being menacing. Too many trucks these days look like they're designed to be action figures in some superhero movie. Never liked the trucks-on-steroids look.
I guess the owner of this 1963 Chevrolet 1/2 ton is worried about his machine being stolen so he's chained it to the house. It's a nice truck, and pretty solid, but with those tires it's not going anywhere soon.
A clean F-100, I'm guessing 1975, with what looks like original paint:
A 1961 Beetle:
The Beetle belongs to illustrator Dan Picasso,
Dan was working on the engine of his VW bus when we met him at his shop.
He had a 1955 Oldsmobile and a Ford Galaxie in-progress inside. (It's dusty in West Texas, especially with the drought.)
Back in Marfa that afternoon, the sky cleared, and a peacock was falling in love with the Custom Deluxe:
