   1) A 1947 International  2) A 1936 Terraplane (Hudson)

I don't remember for sure, but I seem to remember that he mostly was into Chevys in those days.

Yes, some of those old panels were interesting, here we have a;

  1) A 1937 Studebaker

  2) A 1948 Dodge

  I think the Studie was pretty sharp for it's year..  And I think you can see the Power Wagon DNA in that Dodge.

Dunno the model year and not even sure of the model but as best as I can recall it was a Ford. Dad had it a very long time ago. He fixed it up so along the walls of the back of it he had boxes to store stuff and a section in the middle that made it all into a bed to sleep on and had some kind of mattress back there.

Me and my cousin used it once to ride down to the river and we camped out there in it over the week end.

Best guess would be it was an early '50s model and I'm fairly sure of it being a Ford. I do recall it was a stick shift.

  ...And for 1937...wouldn't that Studie be a really cool camper?

   Meanwhile, for the uglies..a Goliath 3 wheeler that I frequently saw in Germany, followed by another really sharp one 
    IMO, a 1940 Ford panel truck.  Hard to find a photo of a totally stock 1940 Ford anything.

  These two must be about the rarest of American brands..  A 1942 Willys Americar panel delivery, owned by a man in Buenos Aires..claims it is factory, bought new by his family.

  Then a mouth watering 1941 Woodie
