early Sterling...

Pretty sharp Mack..

Another Sterling....

'58 GMC school bus...

very nice Diamond T, perhaps the only 1967 known to exist...

this was a '53 Diamond T. I didn't particularly care for this grille style...

Very nice '48 306...

an early Nash. I am sure originally it had hard rubber tires...

pretty sharp Diamond T tractor, similar to the 921F near Holton...

there were over 600 entries, we saw perhaps 400 trucks, trailers, etc.

very nice Diamond T pickup, a 201

seldom see a twin axle 10500 series, especially in a '57

nice '53 Peterbuilt....

Diamond T 406, with Eaton 2 speed rearend and a Hercules engine...

Diamond Reo dump truck....

big Dodge tractor....

a WWII halftrack made it to the show, made by White. Pretty sharp, you seldom see one outside of a museum. The parts all have to be handmade anymore for these...

custom Kenworth, all rebuilt and painted up...

and of course a custom Peterbuilt too....

this Diamond T model 80 was very sharp. About a '38

Very nice 306, about a '48, as close to mine as I saw there...

This is a Diamond T 201 pickup with 17" rims...

a 1936 Model 80 Diamond T bus, very nicely done. not sure of the suspension under it, I didn't recognize the rims and it didn't have D-T hubcaps, so it may have been modern...

Another model 80 I think. Not sure on the larger cab/chassis...

very sharp early Packard bus. Hard rubber tires, no front brakes...

beautiful Mack C cab with hard rubber tires...

very nice 201 with a neat paint job. Not sure I like the red rims or whitewalls on this color...

There weren't many of these mid-sized Macks ever built...

Nice Autocar...

More photos from the National Antique Truck Show in Colorado Springs...

This old Autocar has a modern suspension under it, and can travel at highway speeds. Original engine and transmissions, open cab...

a Diamond T 509 with a dump box....

Looks initially like a 201 pickup, but is actually a 405 with a handmade box. Notice the narrow grille strips unique to the 405...

this nice little '73 Ford Ranchero made it in there...

very nice '58 Chevy shortbox with ghost flames...

Nice example of a Diamond Reo...

Went to the National Antique Truck Show this weekend in Colorado Springs. Kind of a fast road trip, but it was worth it. Did manage to put 1500 miles on the car out and back tho....

One of many restored mid-50's Kenworths...

this was in the parking lot across from the showgrounds, couldn't help but get a photo of that...

A REO, on the auction block...

a WWII tank transporter, chain drive. Massive, only way to describe it.

This Autocar diesel ran pretty well, and has that low slung look....

a very clean Federal....

one of many Diamond T's at the show, there were probably about 15 or more...

"C" cab...

larger version of the Mack, a B-85

solid sheet metal, this will be an easy restore....

sharp little Diamond T 201 pickup. Large hubcaps...

how about a Dimaond T fire truck?

Rich would love this, it is a '68 International Travelall, same body style as his old one. His was a 1 ton chassis and 4WD...

wood spoke wheels, mechanical brakes on the rear. Radiator behind the engine, and if you look close you can see the acetylene tank behind the seat and below, to provide gas for the headlamps...

This is, I believe, a Moreland, one of several I had never heard of...open C Cab, massive engine, chain drive. By this time my camera had crapped out and reset it's date...time for a new camera...

this was a very sweet Diamond T tractor, mid 50's I think.

a "bullnose" Kenworth....nicely done...

We had a nice time Memorial Day...pics at Coryell of the birthday bunch.... I think I have them like this for at least 7 or 8 years... and several earlier ones as well...

Rich had a nice time, he always enjoys coming...

Kyle and Russell were battling Allen in a chess game...

Aunt Babe made it, although she protested quite a bit, but was still pleased with herself when she was able to walk up the hill to the restrooms on her own. She was wondering if she could do it...she will be 90 in June....

Tom and Curt and Jacob relaxing, something they do far too seldom....

everyone had a nice time, including Allen, who got this for his birthday...

a Yamaha V-Twin, he was pleased. It is a 2003 with only 1200 miles on it. Metallic purple.

Saw this sharp Model T Truck in Lincoln.

Sunday May 20 we went to Southeast High School's Car Show, a benefit for their car club. It was also in honor of a student that died from cancer. Most of the cars were at the Berean show, but there were several others, including a few in the parking lot that never entered...

the '57 Ford Skyliner retractable hardtop made it's appearance...

nice set of flames. This is the type I would like to learn to paint next.  I will have to find an airbrush tho...

this had a 392 Hemi in it...

car show wouldn't be complete without a bucket "T" roadster...

this big Buick touring sedan won it's class.

more cars fromt he May 19 show at Berean...

very colorful....

if you look close you can see flames molded into the headliner 

very sharp '66 Chevy shortbox

this little 48' had ghost flames

neat little Lotus style racers, they used small straight 4 cyl engines

this '64 Chevy Impala Super Sport's body was absolutely straight as a string, and had a mirror finish. Awesome.

the lone El Camino of the show was an '85

very nice '65 Corvair...

and a very nice GTO....

More cars from the show...

we saw this one at Applejack in Nebraska City, quite the airbrush job on the inside of the bed.

'79 Dodge Little Red Truck, these were real popular. This one has the original wood siding and stacks, decals intact. Very nice.

The Diamond T was definitely the largest truck there....

I had a replica of the D-T on the hood, and another on the dash...

Virgil with his convertible. He has done a lot of work to this car...

This was a show-stopper, a '38 Packard Limousine, with a flathead straight 8 cylinder.

Pretty awesome.
