72 R model grocery getter


Recommended Posts

I left mine run when I ran into local mom and pop grocery store and people inside thought there was a helicopter outside.  it was making stuff inside vibrate.    They went out to look for it and realized it was the truck.

I can't admit doing that since it is against VA state code to run errands using antique tags.

I run errands (in VA) every now and then under the guise of test driving. Last fall I came out of the hardware store and there was a sheriff's car parked behind my B and the officer was standing there. When I walked up he asked if he could take a picture as his dad drove a truck "just like this back in the day".

Agree, I have historical tags on 3 vehicles.  I drive them when I want to(work, play, whatever).   As long as you don't get some uppity Barney Fife trying to make a name for himself or drive it the same place for many days in a row I don't sweat it.  Let them try to prove I wasn't doing something "official" with it.

I think mostly, like Harry says, they are more interested in seeing them then complaining about them.

 

Just two weeks ago I hauled my bunk across town on a trailer.  Then Thurs I hauled a bobcat to install the bunk.

The key phrase is "I can't admit doing it..." And it is nice to collect all those quarters I charge for pictures.;)

On a serious note, we almost lost the antique tag privileges when a considerable number of folks decided to start registering their daily driver as an antique. I have no problem with the Klingons stopping that so those of us that own true antiques don't have to pay taxes or get annual inspections.

Illinois has issued a expanded antique plate for trucks as there is no weight restriction like regular antique plates. The truck can be driven anywhere anytime even with a load on it between march and November. You cannot drive it legally except during those months which if fine because there is nothing going on around here then anyways.
