Classic Trucks and Vintage Advertising Vehicles at the Tuckahoe Steam & Gas Show

These beautiful old trucks were on display at the Tuckahoe Steam & Gas Association Show held annually in Easton, Maryland. The show, hosted by the Tuckahoe Gas & Steam Association each July, features an incredible array of farm equipment, tractors, antique trucks and vehicles, and of course, steam engines.



While I've been to a few similar shows in our area, this was the first time I'd seen trucks like these. (Be sure and check out the links at the bottom of this post for more photos and info!) The iconic logos and fuel station branding displayed on several of the vehicles really caught my eye and the first one I came across was  this Dodge painted in a rich colonial blue color, featuring the Gulf logo and orange accents.







Then I went and fell in love with this old Willy's Jeep! That color and the Sinclair advertising really set it off as an exceptional vehicle. Wouldn't you love to own a rig like this!?

A hefty vehicle suitable for your next building move....




This Ford truck and tractor advertising is actually dark green, although it appears black in some of these photos.







It's cargo was a "Golden Jubilee" tractor.





A stately old Dodge, beautifully lettered and detailed....

This Red Mack was hauling Ford racing tractors.
