A Gallery Of Vintage Cars and Trucks Shot By Ralf K.

Ralf K. (Don Kincl) long ago became one of my favorite posters at the CC Cohort. He not only finds splendid subjects but then does them justice with his superb photography. We’ve shown a lot of his fine work here over the years, but we never quite keep up. So I’ve picked some of my favorites from his recent Photostream postings to share with you.

This splendid truck is a Dodge Brothers, from the early 1930s. What a gem!

This is a variation of my series on small cars towing big trailers: exotics towing trailers. And not getting anywhere.

Don specializes in small junkyards or storage lots/fields, and this shot of a ’53 Packard is representative of his work.

Two blue Corvairs representing both generations.

A lot of Don’s photos are of cars resting and rusting away, but there are exceptions, such as this fine Lincoln Town Car.

A rare sighting: an Opel Kadett (B) Rallye coupe. I found one once, to my great surprise. It was soon spirited off to Germany.

Still my beating heart. I do love split window Beetles, and this one is immaculate. Don shot it on the streets of Tacoma.

A mighty REO Gold Comet.

These ’66 Falcons were just never common since day one. Folks sprung for a Mustang, which didn’t cost much more.

A 1966 Belvedere coupe hoping for a little TLC.

“A door is ajar” on a Chrysler New Yorker.

Another Corvair, this one a ’63 Monza coupe.

A 1960 Ford F100 working on a fine patina.

This ’59 Chevy pickup is already there.

A ’53 Ford sedan delivery with vintage mag wheels and a sunburn.

A Ford Model A pickup. Will it be saved? Or maybe it already is; it looks like it’s a runner.

A ’66 Thunderbird dreaming of flight.

I’m thinking 1953 for the year of this Chrysler.

We all know what this is.

A Packard in a vegetative state.

This tall-boy Ford truck was shot in 2019.

And here’s the same truck in 2024, with a Fordson tractor on its bed.

And here’s Don with his “restored” 1956 VW Cabriolet, shot in 1979. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Don in person. Keep them coming!
