NOT A TRUCK, BUT STILL A COOL COMBO.....

A Diamond (Reo) in the rough & a Diamond T not !!

Since I live in Long Island's Vineyard Belt, A couple months after I bought my '53 GMC Yard Truck, I got the idea to make my own personally Branded Wine Labels Incorporating a Couple pics of my truck. I printed them out and affixed them to a couple of wine bottles provided by friends (I don't drink Wine).

I sat them in my Kitchen windows and within 30 Months, the ink jet prints were getting faded from the natural indirect light (they never saw sun). So I recently (this afternoon) affixed real photographs of the same labels to the same bottles. Hoping these last alot longer....we'll see(?).

Hey, I eat at the resturant that the Ford panel is at offten. They have a Wayne 866 inside and lots of cool old stuff. It is in Placerville Ca. just up the hwy from me.

Spotted some new stuff this past weekend to add here.





I BELIEVE THIS IS A 1926 FORD MODEL "T" WHICH WAS DONATED LAST YEAR TO THE LOCAL TOWN OF CUTCHOGUE'S HISTORICAL SOCIETY. DONATED BY A GUY
WHO HAD QUITE A LARGE UNIQUE VEHICLE COLLECTION. MANY ONE OF A KINDS AND LOW NUMBER PRODUCTION CAR NAMES THAT NEVER LASTED VERY LONG. I MET HIM 6 YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS HAVING HIS 1929 RUXTON RESTORED IN HIS SHOP. I BEFRIENDED HIM AND HE TRUSTED ME TO SHOW FRIENDS AND FAMILY HIS MUSEUM WHEN HE COULD NOT. GREAT MAN WHO PASSED AWAY EARLIER THIS YEAR. R.I.P. J.PARKER WICKHAM....
