Both just a little ratty around the edges by now, both powered by the 6.2-litre diesel V8, both probably driven to the moon and back, they were a step closer…

Not even Finland is safe from Hummers. Every now and then, it’s pretty easy to run into a H2. H1:s are rarer, but they too do exist here, even if straight off the top of my head I can’t think if a more cantankerous machine to manoeuvre in Finnish town traffic. In my mind, the…

It’s Truck Thursday, and that means I’m scouring my local Craigslist for be-bedded vehicles to share with you, Dear Reader. After slogging through mostly modern crap, I’ve come across a sweet little looker. The seller describes it as a 1953 GMC short-bed five-window pickup.

Welcome to another edition of Hooniverse Truck Thursday. I know it seems like an eternity, but the last Truck Thursday Posting that I did was only about 6 weeks ago with this Datsun, so I thought it was time to revive this series of postings. With this in mind, and with some help from Tim,…

Last weekend out at the Art of Automobile Lifestyle Show, I saw a whole bunch of cool stuff. But one of the true delights was spotting this cool old ambulance-hearse manufactured in 1924 by Studebaker. Wait! Studebaker made trucks in the 1920’s?
