The Dark Wob

I hope Warren doesn't mind me plundering his heritage but I was interested in the chimney structure being built by the George Henry Lee department store (any ideas, WTC?) and started poking around in a website. Found this - an International Travelette crewcab. Think it is a 1962 model as they, like Chevrolet, soon abandoned the twin headlamp fashion for their trucks probably on cost grounds. Nowadays the crewcab, or 4 door layout, is a popular configuration for pickups but back when these were built it was rare - Dodge offered it on Power Wagons but the original purpose of the Travelette was to have a camper back fitted at weekends and have a dual purpose work/leisure vehicle.

Location is Cases Street as WTC will know....

WTF is going on with the panel in front of the door? It looks about three inches lower.

Probably a cheap fibreglass replacement, they rarely fit properly and you could spot them from half a mile away, especially as people never seemed to paint them.

Talking of small(er) Fords....that pic in front of the shops (FP321) is almost completely full of them, just the odd-man-out Standard on the end.....
