Walking around the Penn Valley neighborhood of Philadelphia, home to Sylvie's parents, I spied this old Chevy pickup in someone's driveway. It was surprising to come across such a terrific relic of Detroit's heyday in quite an unlikely suburban setting. The light was just wonderful, and I loved the way it backlit the indicator light on the left fairing and the trees alongside the drive. The truck isn't a primped collector item for this owner obviously - the registration sticker in its window is valid until June 2009 and I can only guess how many miles are already on the speedo. I wonder if any of today's Chevy Impalas or Tahoes will be giving such solid service after four decades?
