This truck was a study in nostalgia itself.  Seen on a trip to  the equator in Ecuador, I couldn’t resist stopping to take the picture.

There wasn’t anything else around the truck. It was just pulled to the side of the road. In my mind, that’s why it made for a great travel photo. There’s nothing else in the way to demonstrate just what decade this photograph was taken. While it was technically taken in 2009, it could have been taken any time since the production of that vehicle. And we didn’t even have to go to an antique car show to get the shot!

We took this route out of Quito in order to spend the day at the Otavalo market and have lunch at Hacienda Pinsaqui. It’s a pleasant loop, for anyone planning on traveling to Ecuador.
