And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I'm still at it. However, the craft is certainly disappearing. When it comes to vehicles everybody insists on vinyl. But a great old truck like this ought to be hand-lettered. https://www.santafesignmaker.com/
Had a '52 pickup I got for $50. It was in good running and driving shape but it needed painting and some interior work but I was still in school and didn't have any money for it. These trucks were way ahead of the others in styling.
Looks hand lettered. Sign painting disappearing.

DeleteWhen I was a kid, Dad bought a Studebaker pickup. My older sister immediately branded it 'the Stupidbaker'.
ReplyDelete...kids on my block had a similar mindset; we called them "Rudibakers"

Restored in 1989.
DeleteI can't get the sign to make sense. Restored 1909?
ReplyDeleteThe thing looks older than 1920 as well. Trucks were as boxy as the cars were at that time.
DeleteHand-painted typo. Prob'ly meant 1989 or '99
ReplyDeleteIt's named " 'Mater ".
