Today, pickup trucks are all the rage. I find myself surrounded by Dodge Ram 1500s, Chevy Silverados and Ford F-150s on a continual basis. Sometimes I feel overmatched in my Jeep Grand Cherokee, but different strokes for different folks. Maybe I should have bought a Hummer.

As far as pickups are concerned they all began as pictured above. “The Pickup Truck“; California (1915). Note the right hand drive with the emergency brake on that side, and the single windshield wiper on the split windshield. The baby makes the photo work in our opinion.
