back about 1970 my father was working at the international docks in chicago, found a lloyd 600 2 seat, 2 cylinder, wing-ding engined, no heat,stick, powder blue panel van, sitting on a lg. wooden pallet in the corner of a dock building, asked the dock manager about it and was told that it along with about 20 others had been shipped here in the 50's but somehow the paperwork was missing....so it newer left the international side of the dock....somehow or another it followed my old man home...when it showed up, it ran like CRAP..but had 24.5 miles on the speedo. as kids my old man used it as a toy on saturdays to go to the bar or such...around 1973 or 4 i aquired a crosley hot shot driveable chassis from a neighbor to take apart or drive around my parents backyard...after making a huge mudhole out of the backyard and getting caught"fucking-up" my father and older brother picked up the nose of my hotshot and placed it inside the bach of the Lloyd and closed the doors....oops....about a week later a crosley fanatic that worked with my uncle at Electro-Motive in McCook il. came over and drove away with wy freshly restored crosley hot shot chassis and my fathers lloyd 600..the only wear on the lloyd was very fadded powder blue paint, dryrotted tires, and about 15 teeth my father gas welded and hand ground back onto the flywheel....MAN-ALIVE...i don't know which vehicle i'd like to have more today......THE LLOYD (snoopy}
i often wonder what happened to that truck.....
