Description
This old truck had just arrived from the countryside and the guy in the background is setting up pots that will hold flowers for a sidewalk vendor in Plaza Cagancha, Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo, Uruguay. Montevideo is the biggest city in Uruguay by far and there isn't another city in the country with a population greater than 100,000.
I have seen many older vehicles in Argentina and Uruguay, but nothing as old and dilapidated as this truck, but it still ran.
This picture was taken on 1 December 2006.

Excellent street scape photo. I just had to do a little year identification on this venerable, old Chevrolet truck. Looks like this grill was used on most models between 1947 and 1953. So, this 55 to 60 year old truck is still doing the job. There was no sophistication on these trucks...pretty easy to use baling wire and a few sperk plugs and keep it going. Bill

It does look a little beaten up and the licence plate is hanging off but it looks to have some decent tyres on the front Sig. Better than some of the trucks over here, I would say. Excellent capture. Bravo!!!!!

outstanding urbanscape. years ago when I frequented Monterrey,Mexico I seen an old 60's Ford that had the fenders wired on and the whole body was rusted out with not one door that would close. I must have seen 3-5 times over the course of 6 years are more.it smoked like crazy also.

I was about to ask you if that truck was actually running... it looks deplorable! Excellent shot, Sig!

@Kaarijer. Yes, it was delivering flowers and when it left it wasn't burning any oil either.

Excellent image in black and white. Everything on the inside, then-- the flowers, and the well-kept engine. Haha.
