Cherished trucks evoke a past era - Yellow Springs News
For others, it’s a nice winch or the unmistakable roar of an engine they just don’t make like they used to. Whatever the appeal, it could be found at Vintage Truck magazine’s annual vintage truck show, held last Saturday at Young’s Jersey Dairy. “It used to be all about cars but the truck hobby is gaining momentum,” said Erin McCarty, managing editor of Vintage Truck. This year is the 14th year the magazine has hosted its annual truck show. Over 150 vintage trucks were present, from hearses to tow trucks to a chain-driven 20 horsepower truck from 1914 with bike tire-like wheels. Jim Zehring came from Farmersville, Ohio, after hearing about the truck show at another truck show the night before. He and his wife sat in lawn chairs under an awning behind his 1962 Dodge D-100 truck, but he was happy to jump up and answer anyone’s questions. His truck had an immaculate cherry-red paint job and he said he worked on it for three years, “piddling around in [his] garage. The show was also the perfect place for those who may not know anything about trucks to learn something new. In fact, the show made truck converts out of a couple from Dayton. Source: ysnews.com
