This almost posterlike photo of this vintage dodge project truck should be enough to find someone interested in bringing this workhorse back to life again. The truck runs. And it only costs only...

Larry on a Mission

vintageozarks@gmail.com — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 01:18:00 +0000

We are unaccustomed to traveling in big cities now. The quiet country roads give us such green joy, cows grazing out in big meadows that roll on forever, very little other traffic to pass or pass...

Last fall we came across a line of round-bottom beauties sitting out in a field in the sun. That was about four months ago and it was not until this very morning, Sunday, that it hit me that you...

This was our first logo and now I wish I'd kept it. I think I will revive the tag line "Where long forgotten classics get a second chance in life." We want to wish all of you many good things in...

Bridge to Nowhere and Back Again

vintageozarks@gmail.com — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 06:00:00 +0000

Larry and I have to cross a lot more of these type of bridges than one would think. Most of them have been demolished and ugly cement bridges with solid cement on the sides making it impossible to...

Bonnie and Clyde it Ain't

vintageozarks@gmail.com — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 06:00:00 +0000

Also thought you might enjoy this old photo of some Missouri folks back in the 1920s visiting family in the Ozarks. Because of movies and so on, I was under the impression that only gangsters and...

Classic Hudson Grills Gone Wild

vintageozarks@gmail.com — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 06:00:00 +0000

These three late 1940s or so Hudsons (we think they were all Hudson), have grills worth more than the car itself. If Larry and I had someone to invest in us, we could do so much more. As is we had to...

vintageozarks@gmail.com — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 06:00:00 +0000

If your heart doesn't tug just a little when you look at this photo Larry took, then you're not a lover of old classic trucks. Maybe it's just us but this picture elicits a feeling in me that makes...

We tried to buy this Zepher but the Crusher man bought it instead and wouldn't let it go, not even for $5000. These was one of the hundreds of old cars and trucks an old man had collected over the...

Looking for Old Trucks to Sell

vintageozarks@gmail.com — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 04:07:00 +0000

This is a 1923 Ford Model T Express Wagon. It's not very original in design for the era since it looks almost like a wagon that should have horses pulling it. But for some old timers, it was just...
