Chevrolet COE at the Huntsville ATHS show

While searching for a few parts last week, I spoke to my friend Mike at Mike’s Auto Parts in Ridgeland, Mississippi, who filled me in on the ATHS national convention and meet in Huntsville, Alabama, on the last weekend in May. More than 500 trucks attended the show, slightly down from the 550 that attended last years event, but the caliber of restored pickups and big rigs more than made up for the fewer numbers. Mike tracked down not one but two 1959 Diamond T trucks with the Hall-Scott LP gas option that was offered from the dealer in that model year. Hall-Scott has had an interesting history in many different vehicles, including airplanes and boats. Ford depot hacks and Chevrolet Cameo pickups shared the same display field with Reos, Whites, Macks and Freightliners. Next year’s national convetion will be held in Pleasanton, California, on May 27th-29th at the Alameda County Fairgorunds.  Ed Lucast, the moderator of the ATHS website posted hundreds of pictures in their online discussion forum in the ”truck show photos” section.  Lots of really neat trucks pictured there.
