Turns out Montana is a great state for car spotting

Some of you know about the registration loophole for Montana tags that are often found on high end exotics.
While I didn’t see anything like that, I did discover this past week that the state is loaded with pre-2000 automobiles, many on the road, and most without any visible rust.
For example, Montana must have the highest concentration of 1980’s-era Dodge trucks in the nation. I haven’t seen one of these things on the road in forever and there are tons of them running around up there.
Also managed to poke around in an old junkyard that was all 1950’s era Studebakers one day while I was fishing.

That is one of the prettiest trucks.. If I were going to get a classic truck it would definitely be a 1980s Dodge Ram.

I’ve seen some fine looking Studebakers at car shows recently!

Yep. And a significant number of them are parking on MY road in Missoula. One neighbor runs a fishing guide and river shuttle service and collects old minivans for it. There’s an Opel GT (late 60s/early70s) that has been parked around the corner for at least two decades. A gorgeous mid-90s SuperDuty (F350 dually 7.3l power stroke) on the other side of me.
I know someone with an ancient Subaru with a wooden door. Lots of mint-looking VW buses etc etc.

If it can't haul a Contender up and down a boat ramp, it's just a prop in a Hallmark Movie.
