1977 Chevrolet Silverado Shortbox
You can just make out the spider that has built it's web by a headlight -- proof of the stationary nature of this truck. That and last year's tags.
That single new looking wheel -- perhaps sanded and re-painted, or a new replacement for a hopelessly rusted one. The dual gas doors imply dual gas tanks. The matte painted sections suggest this is a hipster type project. So do the artfully rusty doors.
What really gets me are the overall proportions due to the short load bed. There's just something about that profile.

1985 Ford LTD LX
I had not realized that the car you see was kind of special for technical reasons until I looked it up. The blacked out grille and faded red stripe hidden in the side strip should have tipped me off. I hope it is just awaiting restoration under it's guardian motion sensor light.
What with constrained space and steel barrel, I could not get a proper profile, or a shot of the "LTD LX" badge on the trunk lid.

1949 (?) Chevrolet/GMC Tow Truck + 1971 Dodge Demon 340 + Ford Model A?
On a bright sunny day I found these cars while wandering down a back alley. I went around front and knocked on the door of the house. The woman who answered was slightly annoyed. Apparently I was at the wrong house, and these cars were perhaps a sore point for her. I beat a hasty retreat next door, where the owner was not home. So now I am left guessing...
The Model "A" is just barely recognizable, and does not really qualify as a car. Amusing that one of the items holding it off the ground is a coffee machine.
Love the improvised bumper on the truck, which at some point might have been blue, and the bulbous fenders & hood.
The Dodge looks like a sleek spaceship when in the company of these others. Would have loved to get a shot of the eight (!) tailight lenses and four reverse light lenses. Love the dual ridges in the hood, the nicely faded paint, the continuous shape of the side windows, the dynamic "C" pillar.

1972 Plymouth Valiant Scamp
A project car, no doubt.
Love that concave rear window, the original hubcaps, the way the rust must have developed under the vinyl roof before the vinyl was removed, the little slots in the bumpers that accept the jack, those squarish tail lights in that practical but dynamic rear bumper, which echoes the angles of the back of the roofline. As I recall there are (or were) small rear facing amber lights in the chrome pips on top of the front fenders.
