Next to Eastwood there are a few fairly busy shopping centers which always provide a diverse crowd. With that diverse crowd you get everything from the businessman with his new sports car, to the moms with mini vans, customs, restored classic rides, and my favorite “original classics”. I decided to start a series where I post photos of some of these interesting rides we spot in the parking lots surrounding the Eastwood headquarters.
This gem looks to be a 50-52 Chevy Pickup. The split window and wing windows are what were a giveaway for Joe R.; our resident “Classic Car Encyclopedia”. This truck was in pretty original condition. It must have been painted yellow at some point, but the respray had to be quite old, and there were many touch ups done (with a brush) around the truck. It seemed to be a “driver” as everything was pretty focused on function here, no fancy wheels, big brakes, upgraded exhaust, or anything here. It all looked someone had been just keeping it going all these years. The chassis and running gear looked pretty clean, and under the layers of paint, we reckon she is pretty dang straight. We reckon it could be a nice base for a resto here on the east coast. But in the end of the day, we are just happy to see unrestored classics like this still rolling around!
Philip Speaks the truth. I hope who ever knows information on this vehicle does the right thing.
This truck belonged to my friend, who died while it was supposedly being fixed, and we (his friends and family) couldn’t find where it was, or who had it. Marc’s family would greatly appreciate it’s return, and if someone would do the right thing in returning it, I’m sure that they would be rewarded for their honesty
IIs it for sale? how much? thank you
