The Dodge Meat-Dragger

 

This was the vehicle that ignited suburban America's love affair with the Pick-Up. 

Alas, it was a love affair that started with a ribbing. Don Draper was a young advertising exec, and as with many corporations, there are some initiation rites / pranks. A long stand, a left-handed frying pan, sky-hook etc.

Don got the "Sell Pick-Ups to Middle Americans" task ... and he nailed it.

Vintage Pick-Up and a....

Gotta admit, that's a nice looking old pick-up. No info, but the number plate suggests that it might be a 1930's model something.

I'm sure a vintage auto enthusiast could well me.

However, beside it is a drooping plank, which I suspect is a Benson B-8 Gyrocopter.  Much more interesting.
