Driving Down Historic Old Highway 60
Shaking down the freshly restored 1953 Chevrolet 3600 truck a few years back, I had Dave pull up to the corner of Main Street and Recker to grab a few pics of the patina green truck in front of the Buckhorn Baths neon sign. The colors were a pretty close match. I had no clue […]
Apache Dreams
Originally part of the GM Task Master series trucks the 1959 Chevrolet Apache offered maximum-economy options along with optional heater, ‘hydrovac’ power brake, or windshield washer. The laundry list for Monte’s 59 included all sorts of new options to take his 350 powered Apache to the next level. Starting with an A/C system repair (fan […]
Twenty Years Now, Where’d they go?
“Twenty years, I don’t know. I sit and I wonder sometimes… Where they’ve gone” -Bob Seger Dave called me at work, a little nervous, but I could tell he was smiling. “I cut the back of the Suburban off…” That was twenty years ago in a small garage in HOA-ville East Mesa, but that was […]

The on-line and auction book pictures can paint a beautiful story of shiny chrome, and nice paint, but in person, the car […]
Get to Two Guns
All things change. Even the ruins of the Route 66 ghosts. Wandering through what is left of a roadside attraction leaves an impression of where we have come from. Our collective American history. Someone’s American dream… The property is for sale now. Its future unknown, however I’m happy to have wandered away from the interstate, […]

After watching a driver on my morning commute today weave abruptly through traffic, I was forced to think that his 2016 Toyota must not have them. Right? I thought they came free with the cars nowadays, but nah, let me guess where you are swerving next, only to catch up with you at the next […]
