This nicely restored Chevy pickup truck was parked by our office one-day last week. It’s a 1937 model (thanks Rubens Junior). This model originally had a 216 cubic inch in-line 6 cylinder engine that produced around 85 horsepower.





There is one thing about this classic Chevy that makes it very New Mexico. Can you figure out what it is? Hint: there is something missing that doesn’t matter that much in New Mexico.

*Wow only on set of cat photos this week!
Teagan just gave me the idea to add a poll so you can vote on a favorite post:
A very well done, highly customized 1964 Chevrolet Impala was in the alley downtown, where a modeling agency was using it as a prop for a photo shoot. They had finished the photo shoot by the time I was leaving the office, but the car was still there. When the owner saw me walking up with my camera, he told me to please take as many photos as I would like. He took me around the car and explained some of the details, and the cost of the various engravings, all done by hand — only $50,000 dollars for the engraving on the chrome on the rear end and spare tire cover in the last photo.
