I was thinking it might be fun to ID classics (and their location) that we have spotted on our travels (another forum I'm on does this and it's sort of fun).

This old pair of Chevy trucks is parked behind the Quik-Check convenience store near Rutgers football stadium (in New Brunswick, NJ). They are both in regular use by a local business. I've seen them in this location for at least 15 years.

And this similar GMC pickup has been parked in front of Wooley's Fish Market on Rt. 9 (near Freehold, NJ) for at least 20 years. It is also moved and driven on a regular basis. Photobucket

Saw a guy hauling garbage to the local dump (in Newton County, GA) with a nicely restored red '53 Chevy pickup. Looked a lot like the ones in those pictures. I see some really odd things used for that, too, as most people here don't have a garbage collection service. Another time I saw somebody using a '70s era, rather ratty looking, yellow Mazda REPU for hauling trash.

A pair of great old Studebakers near Homer, Alaska. I can see one as a transporter for my MGA.
