Cars in Odd Places

I made a trip into New York City to visit with a potential new client on Wednesday. Don’t get to the city as much as I’d like.

I discovered this classic Ford pickup parked at the base of my client’s building. Looks Like a Model A or T. The leather roof and the wooden slats on the truck bed provide some nice detail. Don’t know if it’s obvious in a picture of this size, but that’s a stagecoach behind the pickup.

Both pictures on this post are iPhone snapshots, e-mailed to my Yahoo account. This picture of 3rd Avenue at 47th Street features strange markings on the pavement. The building to the right is where I interviewed.

The kids keep getting younger, or I keep getting older. The young men and women in the offices look like teenagers to me. Maybe retirement is on the horizon.

It's a 28-29 Ford Model A Roadster Pickup. Very desirable.

the strange pavement markings are from the local "call before you dig" company - some is about to (or just did, out of photo) dig up the street, and all the burried stuff is marked, so they don't put a backhoe through the burried 'stuff" - the "T" stands for - "telephone"

Thanks for the info boys.

I know that car and stagecoach. They're remnants from when the building was first built and had this incredible outside theme park and seating areas.

The theme park and seating has been toned down greatly, but at least they're still there.
