Yesterday evening I saw this International Harvester 1110 pickup. IH sold these from 1970-75, and they were never all that common compared the the pickup offerings from the Big 3. After 1975 IH discontinued offering consumer grade pickups, although they still offered the Scout SUV until 1980 (and there was technically a pickup version of the Scout, but it wasn’t a serious work truck). [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53793616020_40f902a8ed_b.jpg "International Harvester 1110") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/66423490@N08/53793616020/) That’s a pretty crude looking taillight setup, with the lights just tacked onto the side of the bed, and the wires exposed like that. Pretty crude looking tailgate, too, with two pins on chains holding it closed.

Sorry, it’s not a great shot; I didn’t feel like getting out of my car and just pulled up next to it and snapped this.

I only saw the back, and I couldn’t get a photo since I was driving, but I saw a Lamborghini badge and the exhaust tips were high up in the rear bumper like this picture on Wikipedia. The one I saw was the same shade of green, too.

> [@beowulff](#): > > I saw this beautiful Bronco A neighbor of mine has one of those. He keeps it garaged and I’ve never seen him drive it and only know he has it because of the exceedingly rare times I’ve driven by when he’s had his garage open. It looks to be in immaculate condition but I’ve never seen it outside the confines of his garage. If I ever do I’ll try to get some pics. > [@Telemark](#): > > and old Land Rover Series IIA > [@Lancia](#): > > Driving up 101 between Bandon and Florence this past week I saw two Land Rovers of the style **Telemark** linked to convoying south together. I assume they were going to a show or club meeting or something – I’ve never seen one in the wild, let alone two. I really like that style with the headlights next to the grill rather than on the fenders. I found out last week that my grandfather owned a 1967 Land Rover IIA, the long wheelbase version similar to this one, although my grandfather’s was green – and a year older.

I would’ve loved to have seen both those vehicles. ---

An old Jeep. I drove these things when I was in the Marines, 40 years ago. I liked them. They were simple, small, and light, and they could easily maneuver between trees.

Not a car, but a truck…but as it was all buttoned up, the bed was closed and looked like something other than a truck. And it was on the westbound side of the road, while I was on the eastbound. Both of us going about 30mph. I didn’t get a picture, but it was a Tesla Truck! They actually exist out there in the wild. Pretty odd looking no matter if it is a car or truck as far as ---

I didn’t have the chance to get a picture, but saw a maroon Toyota Camry with about two-thirds of its rear bumper torn off and dragging on road behind it, in relatively heavy traffic southbound on route 1A north of Boston. If it had been a racecar he would have been black flagged, but he was just driving along, oblivious or maliciously indifferent. Some cars made a point of moving away, but others seemed to think nothing of following behind him at ordinary distances. They would have regretted it if it had broken off and they had run over it. I couldn’t pull up along side to try to give him a sign before he turned off in Revere. But I have to think that others had tried. Completely bizarre. ---

I’m visiting the UK now, so many ordinary cars look interesting. So far my favorite is the Ford Streetka. Here is a generic picture I found online. It’s hard to tell the size from that picture, but it’s approximately the size of an e-bike. [![](https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzY1WDEwMjQ=/z/HyMAAOSwtXtbASmm/$_86.JPG) ](https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzY1WDEwMjQ=/z/HyMAAOSwtXtbASmm/$_86.JPG) The most posh I’ve seen was (I think) a Rolls Royce Cullinan Black Badge. I was very unimpressed. It seemed to have the presence of a Chevy Tahoe. I mean, it was large, it was black, and was probably perfectly lovely for the person sitting in the back seat (did not recognize her), but the only reason I looked twice was because I saw the RR badge.
