Mike Eldred, who has shared some of his ramblings through New England with us previously, sends us another one that proves they’re still out there – you just gotta go look for ‘em!
We were out having a Sunday drive (actually it was Labor Day, Monday) when I spotted this old gas station next to a farm house in Alexandria, NH. There are really quite a few of these old gas stations around, scattered along our New England highways, and I’ve never really given them a second thought. Recently though, I’ve thought it would be interesting to start photographing them.
Anyway, I walked around the house (which was as abandoned as the gas station) and found this truck in the carriage house. It’s a Lloyd LT600 pickup, which had a 19 hp, two-cylinder, four-stroke engine. They were made in Germany by Borgward from 1955-61.
This one has seen better days, obviously. I didn’t spend a lot of time nosing around, since I felt like I was tresspassing even though there were no warning signs or gunshots. Part of the original construction, it appears, includes a lot of wood framing. The panel between the passenger compartment and the cargo area was a sheet of plywood. From what I can see from other photos on the Web, that’s the way they were made.
