So you are out at the mall or grabbing some groceries at the store and you are headed back to your car in the parking lot and you catch something out of the corner of your eye. It’s out of the ordinary, it really shouldn’t be there, especially parked between that 1998 Honda with almost no paint and the huge Cummings Diesel pick up with a bench car seat bungy corded to the tie downs in the bed, but there it is, glowing and out-of-place.
That is what these segments will be about. Sometime there will be comments from the owner and sometimes I won’t have a chance to chat with them. There is a fine line between loving cars and stalking. (Standing around while your milk getting warm and your ice cream is leaking out of the hole in the plastic bag, waiting for the owner is on the line. Hey..it only happened once!!!…Come on now!!!..You’ve done it!!!)
Up this time is a GMC Panel van from about 1951. Found this one at a local Fry’s grocery store parking lot. I got a chance to take a few pics and didn’t get to meet the owner.
Here are some pics.
Looks in pretty good shape
Huge grill opening
In the above pic you can see that the air conditioning is on. (OK..is just a vent but it is pretty cool.)
Needs a little chrome work.
These are not small vehicles
Those doors open up pretty wide and that bumper is HEAVY DUTY.
Quick peak inside
What are you finding in a parking lot?
Drop a note.
Thanks for reading.

they were such a bear to shift….of course had trouble reaching the clutch and gas..and the shift setup was awful.
someone did a great build.
thanks
