This cool old truck can be yours for $2200 US. I drove a different way to and from work today. I usually drive along the top edge of Butte Creek Canyon; today I drove up the canyon on narrow, and sometimes dirt, roads. This truck was along the way.

I'm pretty sure it has been the subject of lots of photos or paintings. The grass along the fence was beaten down pretty well.

The canyon is a mixture of mansions and rundown old homes. It is lush with trees and vines and wildlife. I'll be driving along the canyon more often.


other sizes: small medium original auto

I may be posting twice. My first didn't post, or maybe the spirits are around it???
Great Picture. I like the color, clarity and perspective. I can almost see the ghostly rider, Tiff's right.

Really great shot. It's so clear too, I really like it. Tiff is right you can almost see the figure. Wish I had $2200.

Who do they think they're kidding with this $2200 con? This truck is dead. Deceased. It is no more.
You are a brave soul, Cheryl, to post such a picture. It is kinda cute, though. hmmmmmmm

That's a really cool old truck. Nicely seen Cheryl.

$2200 and about 2000 man hours could make it like new again. Great shot.

did you notice that the back window of the truck looks blurred out? how'd you do that? maybe it was the ghost of the trucks last owner sitting in it.
Guest 29-Sep-2004 05:24
I love this. What a wonderful find. I am green with envy.
