Page 18 of the Sept issue of Classic and Sportscar:
Earliest Transporter Lives
The restoration of an ex-Dennis Poore Dodge VK26B truck, built in Detroit in 1940 and thought to be the oldest original racing car transporter is nearing completion. The former RAF crew bus has been restored by website developer Richard Jones over 13 years.
I hope this wasn't your press release Rick- it would have been more accurate if it said that the truck is currently in more pieces than at any time since it was built, and that it had been stored by Rick for 12 of the 13 years!!

I think you're also in the October issue of Classic & Vintage Commercials - getting famous 
A good piece on getting the paint for the Dodge - although they do infer that it's all finished.
Let me know if you want a scan of the article. |

ooo thanks for the heads-up, I'll see if I can find a copy, if not I'll tap you up for a scan 
I've got a copy of the original press release and it doesn't say or imply that the thing is actually finished yet, doh 
cheers, R

Hope you get a positive reply.
I like the intro from the new editor of CVC. He's looking to hear if readers are interested in American trucks - even the word 'truck' is a bit of a no-no in some circles |

yeah I was reading C&VC just now, he uses 'truck' an awful lot when referring to British lorries, as you say it'll wind up some of the establishment. He previously edited Classic Van and Pickup I think, I wasn't too sure about him then, he always seemed to be moaning about something, at least that was the impression I had
I'd happily read more about US trucks in the classic mags, anything pre-60 please
