Been looking at these classic milk trucks rotting away for years and years, probably 25 to be exact. It's been a long time. They've been in this 'final resting place', waiting for something... anything! Back on Stevens and Coyle, I'd hear their squeaky brakes and the rattling bottles as their drivers jumped out of their trucks and moved swiftly up the driveway. As I remember, Oakhurst, Hood, Old Tavern Farms was the big three-way competition here in southern Maine. I'm just a bit surprised that some collector hasn't swooped down and grabbed these two 'classics' and got them restored and up and running for some local car show this summer.

Great classic milk trucks! What a fun photo - should be framed and hung on a wall!
ReplyDeletePerhaps now someone will swoop in for these. Meanwhile, it's a great portrait of them.
ReplyDeleteHow fun you were on Onawa Lake ... that region is so pretty! You must have had amazing views of Borestone! I'm enjoying your blog--thanks for checking in! :-) E
ReplyDeleteWe had a milk chute in the house I grew up in. I don't believe milk is delivered anywhere anymore.
