Looking Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I'm looking to buy an unrestored or restored Chevrolet or International truck between the years of 1935 and 1946. Please comment and share pictures if you have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 How about a 1924 Buick? Runs, drives, stops, everything works and comes with a full set of original tools and spare parts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Bond Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Could this be a scammer looking for car pictures to use? Newbies always welcome but suspicious minds want to know more. How about a more detailed introduction? AACA member? Just wondering. Terry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABear Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Scammers generally have no issue finding pictures with all the "bots" scanning the wobbly web, not really sure if they bother trying to create individual forum logons and postings to find more.. But, I have noticed lately a uptick in single post one and done postings asking some off the wall and open questions.. So there is most likely a lot of AI probes going on.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed also the "single post one and done" postings asking ridiculous questions lately. What is an AI probe? why? Usually it is a question that gets everyone stirred up. I assumed they were pranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABear Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 AI probe = Artificial Intellegence software scraping information from the web for training purposes. Each time the AI interacts with a person, it learns new behaviors, some good, some bad and without proper context and understanding which should be frightening to people but it doesn't seem to bother people.. The "bottle" has been opened and the "genie" that was inside has left the bottle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that happening in 1958 when I first got into the old car hobby. I stayed anyway. I really like cars. Will the knowledge AI seeks today become the dogma of tomorrow?

Will the knowledge AI seeks today become the dogma of tomorrow? Knowledge without context and understanding is empty. Computers are cold, have no feelings, no care and with the current accelerating speed of AI learning it will be a dangerous place for all once it wakes up enough to decide it is superior to humans. At one time computers were only as smart as the ones that wrote the programs used to run the computer. Now AI is writing its' own code, wonder how faulty that code could be with it's origins coming from faulty man's own hands.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More detail in what I'm looking for... 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ton truck from the 30's or 40's. First of all, you may want to give your location ( IE State) which might be helpful to others as buying and shipping vehicles across the US or a country can be nearly as expensive as the value of the vehicle making it not worth it. Pretty specific wish list you have. There is a place on the forum specifically for buying and selling, lots of folks find vehicles for sale and then will do a "not mine" listing.. You can go there from https://forums.aaca.org/forum/14-automobiles-and-parts-buysell/ and look around.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 It should not be hard to find a 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 ton truck . They survive in decent numbers. What do you want to use one for ? They are slow by modern standards, ride like a truck, need expensive tires and a big garage. I have had a few. They have a great vibe, but very impractical. Most just seem to end up as advertising vehicles or yard art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
