Ohio. Rust, primer and paint. This truck is scheduled for a restore. It is a Korean War Vet that then served duty for the C&P railroad. It was found in a railroad yard in Paris, Ky. and relocated to Belfast, Oh. during Jimmy Carter's administration. Hopefully, new life will be breathed into it. It wasn't the best situation to photograph in.

2013 Midwest Regional Tow Show at the Great Wolf Lodge in Mason, Ohio. I don't know why NationWide has a cool truck like this, but I guess they can write it off to advertising expense. I want one.
The solid windshield began in 1954, but this grill is older than '54. It may be a composit.

Taken in the Depot District of Richmond, Indiana.
It looks like this delivery truck is used by several different establishments and that each has particular qualities or offerings to appeal to different needs or desires. It looks to be in good working condition and not used solely for advertising.

VooDoo Kings open house at The Sketch Pad in the Mt. Healthy suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio. How'd you like to be picked up every school day by this cool rig? It would almost make school something to look forward to. The driver could even drop it down to make entering and leaving easier and it would carry most of the class to the prom. Note the exhaust. What a grin!
