It was 90 years ago that this truck rolled off the Ford assembly line, all shiny and ready to go to work. Now the windshield is gone, the tires are flat, and I doubt that it's moved at all for a few years. It was a handsome, heavy-duty truck for its time.

c'est étonnant le nombre d'épaves abandonnées dans les paysages américains. La photo est très belle (j'aime son traitement)

The 1936 Ford trucks were great vehicles. I have a friend who has a 1936 Ford dump truck that he uses as a daily driver. It is in mechanically perfect condition, but otherwise original. The one in your photo would need considerable restoration to get back on the road.

Me ha recordado a esos camiones que se ven en Las uvas de la ira

Lots of character there.

Un viejo camión con una gran historia de supervivencia detrás. Una maravilla que muchos coleccionistas quisieran poseer.

This truck is still handsome and strong, but it's retired and holds memories and stories of roads it traveled, the people it has carried and places it visited. Deeply touched by this image!!!

Many stories to be told in that old vehicle.

Y ahora es una bella reliquia que tu has inmortalizado en un excelente blanco y negro.
