Kemp's trucks are scattered over a large area above the pristine Contoocook River

They become evident as soon as you start down River Street

Some are lined up in neat rows, others are helter skelter                          

To some it's a junkyard, to a restorer it's opportunity

                                                 A 1934 Linn — not exactly a household name

This old Brockway should be a challenging project for an ambitious restorer

This 1932 Mack needs more than paint                                                  

This 1960 Diamond T is one of the newer trucks in the collection

Twin 1947 Macks

              This is a relatively small Autocar — some of them were big as houses

A circa 1940 snub-nosed Ford

This Mack may be beyond hope                                                         

Macks like this 1930 model were still in use in my boyhood

          This 1940s-era REO was a popular truck in its day
Trivia fact: REO stands for Ranson Eli Olds, who introduced the Oldsmobile in
1895, then left Oldsmobile to incorporate the REO Motor Car Company in 1904

This baby should do an adequate job of plowing your walk

"It's part of the language — 'built like a Mack' " was Mack's advertising slogan         

The "Green Giant" is a 1952 Sterling-White
