My first photo:



I have seen this several times.  Right on I-40 is this huge cross, on top of this hill.  Beautiful sight when you are driving down the road.

After getting to Morrilton, I went up to the mountain to meet Roscoe.  This is a mile away from the start of the swap meet, cars are piled up EVERYWHERE!

On the car pictures, I will have to defer to Roscoe to give us the info/price/amount of drool I had hanging out of my mouth....



I loved the looks of this car.

[mini]

I am not a newer stepside guy as much as I thought I would be (sams stepside is great)...but this was a nice truck.

[mini]

This was a beautiful 54(?) Chevy.  I think it had a 350 in it, but looked bone stock.

Interior of the Chevy:

I love the lines of these old Chevys, and the wooden slats in the beds!

I was going to take you to task for first post promising pictures and the second post with the first picture being almost an hour and a half apart.  Then I went to check the sharing thread, came back and you had posted four more posts.  Went to check an online webcomic and you had posted five more. 

Objection withdrawn.

Loved it....and it was a bargain, given the work that had gone in it. 1971 model, $8500 obo

More of the Chevy:

Dead on, 1954.... small block Chevy did NOT come in this bodystyle, but if it had, this is what it wouldv'e looked like....kinda pricey, I beleive they were asking $18,500. BUT- I'd rather pay that for this over $28k+ for a new chevy. This'n is much better looking ,IMHO.

[Roscoe]

Another of the Orange Ford:

My all time favorite Ford Truck body style. This 1940 Ford was also a driver- for all its good looks, there were some stone chips that proved it was driven. At $25k, it was WAY outta my budget, but well worth the price...

I need to post one out of order:



After driving a hour and a half, and gulping one to many Dr. Peppers, this was a most welcome sign... (rest stop).  LOL

Also, does anybody else find it slightly disturbing that Roscoe lives in the "natural" state?  Dont show up at his house unannounced!

Here is Uncle Ron's Shay (my first look at it)

Another view of the Shay:

[Roscoe]

Brief backstory on the Shay. In 1979 or so, a man named Harry Shay managed to get Ford to license him the right to make a replica Model A to celebrate the model A's 50th birthday. They were fiberglass, sold through Ford dealers, with pinto drivetrains....this is one of em

Cool! 

as for the rest..

Uncle Ron talking to the soon to be previous owner:

[Roscoe]

This was just before I got to ride in the rumble seat, a pic of which I am sure Mini will soon provide you with. 
I thought I was gonna be a permenant passenger- that thing ain't easy to get in and out of.
