Hot August Nights - Reno, Nevada

Proving the world of classic trucks is a mobile one; after seeing this '57 GMC panel truck at auction in Reno, a week later I met the new owner, a guy from Las Vegas, at a car show in SoCal.

This '62 Dodge Town Wagon, unlike a lot of its brethren, never saw use as a U.S. Postal vehicle. All 1962 Dodge trucks were built in Warren, MI.

We spotted this radical '53 Ford F-100 chop-top waiting in line to go on the auction block Friday night.

Here's the late Henry Travers' '56 Ford Big-Window complete with a chrome-plated original Ford speaker box. Henry was the guy who rigged the rearend to fly out of the police car in American Graffiti.

No you are not seeing things this, '56 Ford Big-Window really does have "real fire" ghost flames rising up through its candy paint.

Tangelo is the name of the House of Kolor paint the owner of this pre-war Willys chose.

Henry Ford would flip if he saw the bight-colored custom paint on this old Ford pickup seen in Sparks, NV.

Don't be fooled by this GMC's retro looks, under the hood is big-block 502 backed with a 4L80 automatic overdrive transmission.

Wonton soup and this 1-ton Dodge with a utility bed and an Alaskan pop-up camper have nothing in common except they are both good. The asking price for this truck was $1,100; it ran like a top.
