Antique Ride

Just got back from a vacation to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. On the way home we stopped at Masstown Market in NS close to NB. It is a must stop tourist trap on the Trans Canada Highway. It actually has a very good grocery store as well as lunch counter.
There was a 1958 Austin pickup truck towing a Boler from the 70s or 80s. The truck had a 1500 cc engine and the Boler weighed 1400 lb. The owner is Murray from Moncton NB. He actually has a cast name plate on the fenders. I can't remember what the truck model is.
He was just on his way home from Newfoundland. He has been to Victoria British Columbia as well.

So I should be OK towing 2200 lb with a 2500 cc engine.

Anyhow, some pics.

You were in our neighbourhood Paul. I hope you enjoyed your visit. Nice pictures of a rare (maybe even one of a kind?) truck. There's been quite a parade of vintage cars, many with matching vintage trailers passing through here this summer, on a coast to coast tour.
Masstown Market is a real local treasure. I hope you tried their seafood pie!

My step father and mother towed a 24' mobile home with a 1951 Chevy sedan... don't know the weight of either or the engine size in the Chevy, but they also had a newer (I think it was a '57 Chevy) that wouldn't move the trailer. They towed it from Tulsa Ok to Macon GA....

Maybe it's the perspective, but that battery almost looks larger than the engine. Nice looking truck and camper though.

Yes Darren, I also noticed the battery and commented that it wasn't stock. Murray's answer was that the bigger the better.

Peter, it was an enjoyable visit. Even the weather cooperated. We were down almost 2 weeks and the sun shown every day. Not enough rain to get us wet. My father-in-law was born in Moncton and there are still some relatives in NB & NS.

The model is an A55. They seem to have been very popular. Now I want one.
