just some rusty trucks (in color & BW)
I'm drawn to rusty trucks and cars, here are a few I've shot recently......
FYI...a current trend with hot-rodders is to duplicate the patina of age on newly restored cars
and a very macho Quail
In the 50's and 60's if you saw a milk truck (at least in So Cal), chances are it was a Divco!

I love rusty trucks too...there is just something that is soooo...historic, with those sexy curves and the textures are delicious...the first one is
my favorite.
Here is one of a not so rusty truck that turned my crank anyway...wileyairstreams ride is a classic!

I always love your photos! Green is my favorite color so I'm leaning towards that one as my fav. I like the headlights too. It was a pretty fancy
truck when it was new.

the truck I posted a picture of is in our campground...I thought it was just so cool that it is the vehicle Wiley Airstream actually drives around in.

Years ago there was a Storage yard on Valley Blv. near Fontan this place had all kinds of old stuff most was older than the ones pictured above they
were all complete but rusty and unrestored I was told they rented them out for movie backdrops and photo shoots. I rember at the time they would not
talk about selling one.

Yes, but it can get real expensive. Unlike the typical paint of your photo. Most "rat rods" have been primered, nothing special about the paint,
usually channeled and chopped and steel wheels etc, etc.
This "patina" paint is going on new trucks and otherwise expensive builds, as well as the usual 20's and 30's hot rods.
Here is an explanation of the technique, (Bob you probably know of this I'm talking to a wider audience.)
