Monterey 1/2 ton pickup from Valiant Motors
Shown above is the V8 powered Monterey 241 and six cylinder Monterey 195.
New for 1958 the Valiant light duty trucks now have integrated fenders and and a sleek modern design.
The truck is available as a 1/2 ton and 1 ton load capacities. The 1/2 ton can have 109in and 116in wheelbases. The 1 ton can have 116in and 131in wheelbases
The model shown here is the 1/2 ton with a 109in wheelbase and powered by the 241ci Hi-T V8.
As you have not entered yet, I feel like I should say: light-duty trucks with engines this big simply did not exist in the 50s, you would have to go to a higher-load medium duty truck to get such an engine.
How is it with safety, just the standart in the era (i believe 20)? If i don´t comply, will there be any consequences?

UPDATED for 1959
SUMA U109B-30
Introducing the newest revision of the U109 series, with all-new styling on the same reliable platform you’ve come to love. Simple, capable, and efficient, the model seen here is a 1-ton truck capable of carrying, towing, or simple driving just about anywhere. With a robust 6-cylinder powerplant, a ride high enough to laugh at obstacles, and a locking differential for tough fieldwork. It’s the perfect complement to anyone who needs to get something done in mud, or has other machinery and materials that needs moved.
It runs great, it works great, and it sips any gas you can give it. What more could you need?

After mostly focusing on heavy duty and trucks, this is the first foray of Angus into the UTE market. Based on its SC (Small Consumer) platform, this smaller but practical UTE will surprise many on the market.
Rated as 1-ton, it is powered by a 100hp (85hp net), 200 lb-ft inline 6 ecopower engine. The ecopower is perfect for such a small vehicle and allows it to reach 80mph on the freeway with a 3-speed manual gearbox.
At under 9k, it is extremely reliable and handled rough terrain without needing a locker or transfer case thanks to its all-terrain rubber and skidtray. The whole package is also easy to maintain, with a simple AM radio but a slightly better interior finish, dual side view mirror and a roomy bench.
It is the perfect weekend car and it can get busy on the weekend.
Putting the “Works” in Dalluha Coach & Motor Works, the 1959 DCMW Ghurruz Standard Six is a medium-duty truck with a clear mission: to get jobs done and look good doing it.
The heart of this beast is a smooth and anvil-solid 4.5L OHV flat-six. Like a true truck motor, its 109hp rating is deceptive, belying real-world performance better represented by a stump-pulling 231ft-lb at a mere 2100rpm. Sent through a wide-ratio 4-speed fully synchronized manual transmission to a full-floating dually rear axle, this powertrain is meant to impress in practice, not on paper.
The 10’ bed features removable wooden side extensions, dual-wall construction to keep the clean bodywork looking that way, tie-down hooks, and a removable steel mesh to protect the cabin from your cargo, however rough it or its loading process may be. Go ahead and chuck those bricks, scrap metal, and goodness knows what else in the back; this truck can take it.
Speaking of cargo, the Ghurruz can carry a full 6000L or 2510kg of it. Strong, high-quality brakes exhibit zero fade no matter how hard it’s driven, even at maximum load. It manages this this with tried-n-true drums rather than some newfangled, exotic, and unfamiliar disk technology.
Speaking of interior, this is no penalty box. Standard-grade amenities include a heater, bucket seats, a standard-quality AM radio, rubber floor liner, a full DCMW gauge cluster, and body-matching paint.
Speaking of styling, the Ghurruz is above following the fickle fashion trends of cars, rather resembling contemporary heavy-duty trucks. Those who want a car with a bed to haul a few milkshakes to the local drive-in movies might look elsewhere. Those who know trucks, and need a real truck, will be well-served by sharp two-tone paint, a no-nonsense grill, subtle chrome, and heat-shielded vertical stack dual exhaust that announces this rig is here to work as hard as you do.
At $10000, the Ghurruz is typical DCMW - not the cheapest choice, but you get what you pay for: a whole lotta truck.

Flint Adirondack 97
At Flint Motors, “Quality First” isn’t just a slogan. It’s a philosophy that guides how we design and build every automobile. And it’s what gives our Adirondack line of trucks their reputation for sturdiness and reliability.
The smallest of our Adirondack line, the 97, is built with the same attention to quality as all of our trucks. The 162 Torque-Thrift engine is designed to produce low-range torque for towing and hauling. It’s also built with Flint’s trademark Precision-Cast block and Sure-Fire fuel system to provide enhanced reliability. The 3-speed Ever-Glide transmission is built for torque off the line and includes enhanced components to keep your driving trouble-free.
When you drive the 97, you’ll feel the solid build quality in the extra weight and sturdiness of everything you touch, from the tailgate to the steering wheel. This quality means that while other trucks will be in the shop or the scrapyard, your Adirondack 97 will still be running strong and getting the job done for years to come.
Flint Motors. Quality First.

IDK if I’m submitting correctly so please advise.(only one pic since its my first time apparently)

So, my gaming laptop blew up the 5th time within the 2 year warranty period… buying the warranty package for that thing was surely one of my best investments.
I still have my old gaming laptop that will a bit struggle with Automation, but it will be good enough for the judging. Sadly, I doubt I can offer complex photoscenes since that´s a bit too much for the 5 year old one…
Well, while the ASUS is really breaking twice every year, guess my issues with the Acer in 5 years: Yep, none.
That sucks, i hope that you can either fix it or get another one soon.
As there is still warranty on it, they will surely swap the mainboard once again.
Still 6 months of warranty on it, so I hope the 6th failure will be still within that period to get it fixed one more time before I have to throw it away… Something is fusing the mainboard over and over, and it´s also having difficulties charging (the plug for the power cable is way too weak, putting it with cable connected to the plug off the table and onto the chair will bend it to the point its only charging when manually pressed in, which is…annoying, to say the least… mousepad broke, keyboard illumination broke, etc… and all that in a range above 2500 Euro - next one will be an Acer again.
So, back to topic, I thankfully do backups almost daily so the data loss isn´t really a problem, but reinstalling everything on the old one takes a bit, might be able to do the bins this week.
ROUND 1 - EARLY ELIMINATIONS
What, no bins? Well, given that my rulesets are always lenient to let you have freedom, its also that the late 50s cars were not overly regulated with emissions, safety, etc. So this was reflected in the ruleset and so… everyone managed to set the TP right.
Sadly, I can´t make the following event as a proper photoscene because my old laptop just says “No, thanks”.
Earl Bauer visits the local animal auction - he hopes to get two cows home, if his old VCV truck still holds up. That auction is of course attended by many farmers, and so he can have a look at their rides.
BetterDeals Zwaargewicht by @Djadania
WHAT IS THAT? Looks like out of some Lil Abner comic book, nah, not for me. Looks thrifty but load capacity is low, despite some storage compartments below the small bed, and the design is the worst of it. NAH! I AM NOT DORETTE DUCK!
Minicar Workman´s Horse by @Hilbert
The japanese people that propably built this are so tiny, propably the only dudes small enough to fit in there. Comfort is good, but too small for my needs. Looks cute but I don´t want to be cute.
Pittsburg JP5 Amigo by @Rise_Comics
Doesnt look good but at least quite rugged as if it´s doing good service. And yes, that thing is great offroad indeed, but hard to drive onroad. That alone isnt too bad, since I can drive. [ooc:drivability not judged, but its absurdly low in this car]. What is bad instead is a reliability record worse than a damn Cavaliere Nobile. I can´t have that crap since it doesnt even remotely look like a fancy Cavaliere for dealing with so much breakdowns.
Capable Heaver by @Vento
It looks at me as if it asks me to give it a mercy shot, damn. On the positive side, it will go anywhere, that thing must keep moving in almost any terrain, but the other disadvantage is that it´s slow as heck. Nah, performance over offroad here, and others look… better in front of the diner.
Sumner Ballista by @nvisionluminous
Like this one! Yeah, it´s much better to look at, it´s cool [OOC: Earl tends to like it but to me it´s definitely too modern for 1959, looks more like a 1964 model]. But this futuristic ride has a popular downside of, eh, new stuff - it didnt spend enough time in the oven and already leaks oil and some parts fall off. Plus, it seems to leak fuel… OH! It doesnt. So, Henry really used HALF THE TANK to get here? Nah, I own corn fields, not oil fields. Damn, that´s all not for me, I hope for better luck next week.
Psst…a “Vaughn truck” would be a VCV. Now that’s just a minor mishap but still.
