Kiev subway construction railcars... that's a new variation I've never come across

Makes sense that the easiest way to get concrete into the subway where you need it is with a mixer truck... but I'd never thought about it..

Ice road truckers... big deal. These drivers drive right into the running river, how they make it across without getting washed away I can't believe

The Big Job '56 Ford F750

Truck photos that cause me to say "What the hell?"

Imagine how catastrophic the landing is going to be, and in an era before airbags, and without hollywood suspension... how much damage is the body of that driver going to sustain

Now how did the driver of the construction dumptruck do that?

The tractor is pretty cool, espcially the roof windows, but the trailer is unusual

Is the above a hearse conversion?

the above is about butt ugly, it's a '58 GMC (Chevrolet parent company if you didn't know)

Trucking used for advertising, quite an unusual collection from Caradisiac

Bantams above and below, so small they can probably only be described as "cute"

I've never seen this type of vehicle before, maybe you'll get a kick out of these too, the Scammell Scarab

the above is the Townsman model, the below are Scarabs

Scammell Lorries Limited was a British manufacturer of trucks, particularly specialist and military off-highway vehicles, from 1921 to 1988, and started as a late-Victorian period wheelwright and coach-building business in Spitalfields, London.

In 1934, Scammell produced the 3-wheeled 'Mechanical Horse', designed to replace horses in rail, postal and other delivery applications. This featured automatic carriage coupling and the single front wheel could be steered through 360 degrees. It was sold in 3- and 6-ton versions. The 3-tonner was powered by a 1,125 cc side-valve petrol engine and the 6-tonner by a 2,043 cc engine.

In the late 1940s, the 'Mechanical Horse' was superseded by the Scammell Scarab, with similar features but a much less angular cab and now with a 2,090 cc side-valve petrol engine in both models and a diesel version with a Perkins engine.

In 1967, the 'Scarab' was replaced by the 'Townsman', which had a fibre-glass cab.

This museum is located Belgium, at Romedenne in an authentic 19th century brewery-malting and presents a series of old trucks, especially equipped for the transport of beer. Different halls, including 70 thematic display cabinets, which are dedicated to the brands, to the makes of trucks (electricity/steam/petrol), to publicity, to truck manufacturers, etc.

Looks almost like a Tempo, but it's a Scammel truck, and this has to be the smallest semi truck / flatbed combo I'll ever see, and even better, it's a beer truck

The above beer truck is a 1960 Llyod LT 600

svammelsurium a Swedish automotive blog has posted that I've never even heard of before, South African Chevy Sports Coupe (Australian Monaro)

Above and below a Chevelle, made in South Africa. The hood scoops are quite a intriguing look.

Damien emailed me to let me know more about this car I've never seen or read about before (Thanks a bunch!) "It was common in the late 60's early 70's for slightly modified oz cars to be sold in South Africa

See wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Monaro

(South African market)
Some HT series Monaro 'GTS' coupes were exported to or assembled in South Africa from imported parts by General Motors South African (GMSA)at the Port Elizabeth assembly plant. Later the HG series Monaro was assembled and sold in SA badged as the Chevrolet SS.

(Suddenly I want one of these, it would be the only one around)

At this time GMSA had made a decision to market most of its products as Chevrolets. The Chev SS as it became known in SA was based on the HG Monaro with revised front styling unique to the SA model and incorporating four headlights and large turn indicators in the front edge of the fenders above the bumper. Most of the Monaro / Chevrolet SS Coupes assembled in SA were fitted with Holden 308 engines. The Chevrolet 350 in³ (5.7 L) engine was available as an option in the GMSA assembled Chevrolet SS.[

Some more info and brochures for the sa cars:
