In 1955, Chevrolet’s Advance Design Pickups passed the baton over to the Task Force series, a larger, more modernly styled truck line that spanned through 1959. This truck is the final iteration of the generation and has undergone a nut-and-bolt, frame-off restoration emerging in better-than-new condition. Powered by the 283 CI V-8 engine with a 4-barrel carburetor, custom exhaust and a Muncie 4-speed transmission, the Apache pickup is finished in two-tone Cardinal Red and Cameo White with a matching interior. The glass, chrome bumpers, grille, trim and polished stainless are new, and the short bed is a Fleetside design, first introduced in 1958, with a floor of custom cut and finished maple with stainless-steel trim. Inside, passengers will love the original look and feel but enjoy a bench seat with new cushions and upholstery, new headliner and carpeting. The refurbished gauges and steering wheel continue to demonstrate the level of attention that was bestowed upon this truck. Even the undercarriage is finished in matte black powder-coating. Riding on a rust-free chassis with a new suspension, shocks and springs, the original-style 7.10-15 Firestone Deluxe Champion gum-dipped wide whitewall tires wrap steel wheels with stainless-steel beauty rings and center caps. All things told, this 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup looks like it popped right off the pages of the original sales brochure. The Task Force series was one of the earliest pickups to segue between work tool and personal passenger car with its wraparound windshield, two-tone paints, heavier use of chrome, V-8 engines, 12-volt electrical systems and restyled interiors offering not only standard-issue vinyl seat covers, but luxurious fabrics as well. This example, thanks to the restoration efforts, chrome trim, cloth upholstery and attention to detail, will offer its next owner years of enjoyment.

Period correct EB-suffix 283/270 HP V-8 engine

Solid lifters

Dual 4-barrel carburetors

Aluminum intake

Batwing air cleaner

3-speed manual transmission

Matador Red with Red and Silver interior

Tinted glass

Power convertible top

Rare radio delete

Fresh rebuilt carburetors, fuel system and gas tank

8.00-14 BF Goodrich Whitewall tires

Outstanding performance from the most powerful carbureted small-block V-8 available and top-of-the-line style thrust this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible from the past into the present as an enduring American classic. The convertible coupe presents well with a seasoned nut-and-bolt, frame-off restoration that returned the Chevrolet back to factory splendor from its two-tone silver and red interior out to the Matador Red paint accented with the distinctive gold-anodized grille and badging that set the Bel Air apart from the rest. Under the twin chrome-speared hood is a period-correct EB-suffix 283 CI Super Turbo Fire V-8 factory rated for 270 HP with a factory aluminum intake manifold, solid-lifter valvetrain, high-lift camshaft, “ram's horn” exhaust manifolds, dual exhaust and a pair of deep-breathing 4-barrel carburetors under the signature batwing air cleaner. Both carburetors were recently rebuilt with a fresh fuel system and gas tank for assured power supply. The faithfully restored and highly detailed V-8 is backed by a 3-speed manual transmission with column shifter for a flat-out top speed in excess of 100 MPH. The fuel-injected small-block Chevrolet V-8 was more powerful but had few takers with its far higher price tag. Lowering the button power-operated white convertible top reveals a midcentury Bel Air two-tone red and silver interior resplendent in correct upholstery over deep-pile carpet for lavish comfort with the top up or down. The sweeping wraparound dash is outfitted with a clock and uncommonly rare radio-delete plate. Tinted glass keeps out unwanted glare and makes for a filtered view of the road ahead. The Bel Air rolls on body-color-keyed painted steel wheels dressed in full-size spinner wheel covers and 8.00-14 BF Goodrich whitewall tires for an authentic ride and high-fashion style.

One of a mere 30 produced in 1935, this Lincoln Model K V-12 Roadster with gorgeous LeBaron coachwork and a cheerful color scheme is a CCCA Full Classic and a winner of an AACA National First prize in 1977. Introduced in 1931 as a replacement for the aging Model L, the Model K entered the highest echelon of the automotive market in the early days of the Great Depression on a new 145-inch wheelbase chassis using a 385 CI version of the Model L’s V-8 engine modified with a 2-barrel Stromberg carburetor, higher compression and other tweaks to produce 120 HP. In 1932, Edsel Ford doubled down on his vision of offering the ultimate luxury and performance automobile, splitting the K into two ranges: the V-8 powered KA, built on a 136-inch wheelbase, and the majestic KB, built on a 145-inch wheelbase and powered by an all-new 448 CI V-12 engine. By 1934, the choice of engines had been cut to a single 414 CI version of the V-12, and in 1935, the A and B designations were dropped and significant design changes were introduced. The passenger area was moved forward 11 inches for better weight distribution; five rubber engine mounts, an improved cam design and needle-bearing roller tappets provided quieter operation; and new synchros made easier work of shifting the 3-speed manual transmission. Although both wheelbases were still available, the 136-inch chassis with LeBaron coachwork has remained the more popular with collectors who prefer its more compact sportiness. Dressed to turn heads in bright yellow with a dark yellow beltline and blue pinstriping, this special-order Model 542 LeBaron rumble-seat roadster is distinguished by its 17-inch wire wheels with wide whitewall tires, dual side mounts with steel covers, Guide Super Ray fog lamps, side-louvered hood Greyhound mascot and a rear luggage rack. Finished inside with beautiful tan leather upholstery, a two-gauge instrument cluster, dual mirrors, a locking glovebox and rear-seat foot rest, this is a singularly impressive example of the first of the great V-12-powered Lincolns.

Descanso do Tropeiro (Descanso do Tropeiro) - Carlo de Servi

Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brasil
OST

Na região sul do Brasil, tropeiro era o condutor de tropas de muares da cidade de Viamão até Sorocaba.
Essas tropas abasteciam o ciclo do ouro em Minas Gerais no século XVIII. Essa atividade foi responsável pela fundação de inúmeras cidades nos Estados do Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina e Paraná.
Os locais de descanso dos tropeiros eram conhecidos como pouso. Estes pousos foram criando com o passar dos anos uma estrutura que contribuiu para o surgimento de vilas e posteriormente cidades.
Cada comitiva era dividida em lotes de sete animais, cada um aos cuidados de um homem que os controlava através de gritos e assobios. Cada animal carregava cerca de 120 quilogramas e chegava a percorrer até 3000 quilômetros.
Antes das estradas de ferro, e muito antes dos caminhões, o comércio de mercadorias era feito por tropeiros nas regiões onde não havia alternativas de navegação marítima ou fluvial para sua distribuição.
As regiões interioranas, distantes do litoral, dependeram durante muito tempo desse meio de transporte por mulas.
Desde fins do século XVII, as lavras mineiras, por exemplo, exigiram a formação de grupos de mercadores no comércio interiorano.
Inicialmente chamados de homens do caminho, tratantes ou viandantes, os tropeiros passaram a ser fundamentais no comércio de escravos, alimentos e ferramentas dos mineiros.
Longe de serem comerciantes especializados, os tropeiros compravam e vendiam de tudo um pouco: escravos, ferramentas, vestimentas etc.
A existência do tropeirismo estava intimamente relacionada ao ir e vir pelos caminhos e estradas, com destaque para a Estrada real - via pela qual o ouro mineiro chegou ao porto do Rio de Janeiro e seguiu para Portugal.
O constante movimento, o ir e vir das tropas, não só viabilizou o comércio como também se tornou elemento chave na reprodução econômica do tropeirismo.
Os tropeiros transportavam uma grande variedade de mercadorias como açúcar mascavo, aguardente, vinagre, vinho, azeite, bacalhau, peixe seco, queijo, manteiga, biscoito, passas, noz, farinha, gengibre, sabão, fruta seca, chouriço, salame, tecido, alfaias, marmelada, coco, carne seca, algodão, sal, vidro para janela etc.
