B-More Historic: Stepside Chevy

A critical look at Baltimore's historic plated vehicles. We find the cars. You make the call. Is it historic or a creative use of Maryland's historic plate rule?

Today's entry is a stepside Chevy work truck. We spotted this historic driver cruising in the rain near the Inner Harbor. The bed was full of shovels, rakes and other landscaping implements.
Here at Rumblenote, we applaud owners who aren't afraid of getting their classic cars dirty. It would be a shame to keep a piece of history like this locked away in a heated garage.
What say you: historic or clunker?
