Revisited: 1966 Chevrolet C/10 Custom

I was in the neighbourhood again and found this old truck in a spot where I could get better pictures than last time. Apparently the restoration process had progressed considerably, with no small thanks going to pandemic giving the owner lots of spare time.

The young woman I spoke to really enjoys driving it, and it draws the attention of older car buffs.

The owner says that he's in the middle of replacing an axel.

Owner is a pleasant lady who asked that I obscure the plates -- first time that has happened. She's had it for more than 30 years.

Love the space age mirrors, the scalloping in the front fenders, the ridge along the side hiding the shut line of the hood. Truck looks like it's sagging in the middle, but that could just be an illusion caused by the upward jog in that ridge.

And the fuel cap just behind the driver's door -- just where you don't want it.

1956 Mercedes Benz 219(?)

If you believe Wikipedia, this car is a 220a or 220S, because "This can be identified by the one-piece windows in the rear doors, as opposed to the 220a and 220S having separate quarter windows." I don't know... it could easily be cobbled together from lots of cars. Chrome looks like all the pictures I've seen of the 220(a/S). That's the thing about the internet -- you can always check, but you can never be sure.

Heyyyy... where did we see that blue car in #2 before? I bet this one belongs to the same guy. I'll have to ask.
