You Capture – Vehicles

July 15, 2010 by Elaine

I consider it QUITE timely that I happened to be visiting my parents when this week’s You Capture subject is VEHICLES.

See…

My Daddy likes trucks. And he inherited this really cool one that was my Grandfather’s (his Father in Law, my Mother’s Dad).

It’s from the ’50’s… so in my opinion that makes it REALLY. COOL.

Wouldn’t you agree?



(yes, it’s the same shot, I couldn’t decide since one pic makes it look like it was taken “back in the day” and the other one shows you how beautiful RED it is…)

Wasn’t the style of things just fabulous back then? I mean really, they DON’T make ’em like they used to…


And the boys LOVE to play in it too…


Seriuosly, at least a half hour of entertainment for my boys who were UP AT 6 A.M.(!!!) this morning.

Yep, Grandpa’s old 1956 Ford truck is a pretty cool VEHICLE indeed!

    Beautiful truck!

    My dad drives a Chevy from the 60’s. He bought it brand new and will not trade it for anything. Before I had kids and when I actually had money, my brothers and I offered to buy him a new small pickup truck. Just to have to drive around and to work. We would never make him get rid of his truck…we love it too. But, he did not want anything to do with a new one.
