Tobacco and T-Ford parts in Rhodesia

• 

Reader Andre found another African image that he'd like to share with us, which we quite like. He wrote: "This picture shows a Chevrolet 3-ton truck of around 1950, being loaded at a rural tobacco farm in Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). The load mainly consists of tobacco bales, but on top of the bales, near the front, appears to be a back axel and silencer of a Model T - Ford. Other machinery is also being loaded for repair in Salisbury (Harare). The bales are being send to be sold at the tobacco auction house in the capital." Now, we love it when there's so much detail from a picture. Places, faces, background and even recognition of those old parts. Oh - and it's good to know that even in Rhodesia in the 1950s people were caring about classics, too, isn't it? Feel free to share your (pictorial) memories with us, too!
