48 Chev Fleetline (2 door, vs Fleetmaster - 4 door) is a definite testicle trader for me.


One of the best years after the war for me.

Saw that over in Essex when you bought it....

STILL HURTS TO SEE IT !! That is so perfect.

Had the money, wanted it badly, but also had the Transit parked here already, and decided to stick to one job at a time.

Must have taken about 15 pics of that truck/van.

I remember being about 7 years old, and seeing an abandoned one along the road we used to go to go on holidays, it was there for many years, litterally just abandoned along the motorway, single lane those days.
Years later it went missing.

Mmmmmm,,,












Did I mention that this one does it for me ??

There is (or at least there has been every time I've driven past over the years) one of these in similar patinated condition in front of a rural dwelling by one of the roads heading out into Brokeback Mountain country south of Calgary, Alberta. Its owner is obviously sick of people like us because it has "Not for sale" painted on its side in HUGE letters. If I wasn't always within a couple of weeks of an Air Canada flight home I'd have coveted it myself.

"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."

Is it just me that finds something deeply wrong with this picture? Not just the asymetric hemline producing a foreshortening optical illusion of her having a very odd body shape, but is she even in the same studio as the car?

The car's nice too.

Lowrider bombs are probably better than anything else in the world. I would degrade myself to own one:

WANT that maybach so bad my testes ache.

Yeah man - Maybach bomb is a powerful look. Must have taken some spuds (and a fat pile of wedge) to build that piece.

I seen the van as soon as I walked into the arena and just kept going back to it just had to have it. Got it from a top bloke jason he imports alot of chevy stuff if anyone needs anything. Here are some more pics of mine and my mates pick up.
