Alameda Street Sighting - 1939 Ford V8 Panel Truck

Ahh, patina. One man's restoration project is another man's rat rod. Coming to Alameda from Barn Fine Classics in Washington state is this '39 Ford panel truck with not very much paint but a whole lot of character.

San Ramon Street Sighting - 1968 Chevrolet Suburban C-20 Panel

Most of the vehicles I examine here are cars I see only once or twice, stuff I see while walking through the city. But not this one: this 1968 Chevy C-20 Suburban panel truck is local and I see it all the time. Usually in the same spot, too, causing me to wonder how often it gets driven. It sometimes shares the street with a copper-brown 1969-70 Chevy CST-10 stepside pickup. Coincidentally, this is in the same block where I found the Hillman Minx nearly three years before.
