The Surf Wagon



Photo by Alexa Poppe  www.alexapoppephotography.co.uk/

Yesterday, I interviewed the owner of this vintage beast of a pick-up truck for Wavelength magazine. It is a 1946 Ford Pick-up and has growling 4.2 litre engine. The owner is Stuart Blake and he was an absolute legend to give up his time and be patent, whilst Alexa did the photo and I asked him a bunch of questions.

Stuart turned out to be a classic. He rebuilt this truck, including the engine, himself. He also owns a hot rod and a classic Cadillac, refurbishes jukeboxes and has a vintage surfboard collection.

Collecting and owning stylish classics like this can sometimes seem like an image choice but talking to Stuart you quickly realise that it is something he loves to do and he really lives it. The story about the Stuart and his truck will be in the next issue of Wavelength.
