A little off topic but I just love a workin’ truck.  Labeled “Pickle”.

If you really want to be disappointed in the Pious hybrid car (the R is silent), check out the 1900 Lohner-Porsche electric.  Available in 2WD or 4WD with hub motors.  Available in full electric or hybrid gasoline, but they didn’t call it that then, they called it “dual drive”.   In 1906, Ferdinand Porsche was snapped up by Daimler-Benz as chief designer, and left Lohner coachworks for good. Jacob Lohner said, at the time: ‘He is very young, but is a man with a big career before him. You will hear of him again.’

1900 Lohner-Porsche.  Amazing!  This is what I would describe as a “phaeton” when the term is applied to a self-propelled vehicle.

Produced from 1898 to 1906.

4-wheel-drive with four electric hub motors. They also made gasoline-electric hybrids.  You’ve come a long way baby!

This green 1950 FWD COE cab-over-engine 4X4 3 door crew cab utility truck is an extremely scarce vehicle ready to be restored for some special purpose. The truck was in service with the US Bureau of Reclamation in central Montana. This truck is very heavy duty and has a large steel utility box with three side compartments on each side and a covered storage area in the center. It also has an add-on boom rig in the back for lifting and planting poles. There are pole carriers on the sides of the box. This is a five passenger truck with two in the front and three in the back, which is accessed by a third door on the right side. The cab and box are straight and in fairly good condition. There is a little rust in the lower back of the cab on the left side. The doors are all good. The top hinge on the third door is loose. The nose and grill of the cab is missing. There is an add-on front bumper reinforcement. The interior is all there except the motor dog house is gone.  The gauges and dash are complete. The speedometer glass is cracked. The 6 cylinder L-head motor is missing the manifolds, front brackets, generator, water pump and radiator. Once restored, this truck would be perfect for any application where a crew and equipment needed to get to a remote location. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a truly-unique 1950 FWD COE 4X4 utility truck. Please call Steve Murphy at (406) 565-5277 for details about this restorable classic project truck. 
For sale $6,000

Looks like an old Herkimer Battle Jitney!
