Popular Post other dog Posted June 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2017 I went to the Keystone Truck and Tractor Museum today. I walked out back to look at a C model I saw out there, and it looked very familiar...thought i'd seen it somewhere before, but I couldn't place it- then it hit me! It's the one that's in the "Mack-Driven for a Century" book. I compared the pictures when I got home....and yep, that's the one all right! 7 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

57 bcr Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 That C model was restored by the late Milt "Uncle Milty" Smazik of Lockport,Il. He drove it to many shows throughout the midwest. Was happy to see Keystone got a hold of it . Al 2 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

They're running out of room inside the building. These are probably sitting outside waiting for a little restoration work, or maybe just a touch-up, but the ones that are inside are pretty much packed in there like sardines already.

Popular Post fxfymn Posted June 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2017 A major expansion of the museum is in the works. The owner, Keith Jones, who is also a principal owner of Abilene Motor Express, has done a phenomenal job of assembling rare and unique trucks and tractors for the rest of us to enjoy. 5 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

You are right about that, I think they have at least one of every kind of tractor ever made, and- I'd never seen a White 5000 until yesterday. Or a Ford chain saw. An Indiana truck...unless P.L. had one, I don't remember. A Hug Roadbuilder...and more, way too much to list. Jo likes all the antiques and memorabilia all the way around the perimeter more than the vehicles. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 It occurred to me that I could put these pictures on flickr too, so I am. I'll post a link as soon as they're done- it's taking a long time, because I didn't resize and crop many of them. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
