The sign reads 'Attica Quicklime Production [Company]' (yes, Greek can be a compact language), 'Tel. 281.043'. Six digits places this in the early Seventies. The lorry was much older than that, obviously. Interesting/confusing linguistic fact: the Greek word for quicklime is 'asbestes'. It's a colloquialism of 'asbestos', but it's a coincidence (based on the meaning of the word). Asbestos is 'amiantos' in Greek.

Posted by Sarnia Boy 4/19/2008 9:18 PM | remove   the rust just seems cosmetic, nothing too bad (i think) Posted by Blackbird 4/19/2008 9:30 PM | remove   It does look like surface rust, but now that I look at it, it dosen't have an engine or any of the other crap that goes in the engine compartment. Posted by Sarnia Boy 4/19/2008 9:54 PM | remove   oh just throw in a golf cart motor, itll work just fine ;) Posted by Blackbird 4/20/2008 2:56 PM | remove   GOD NO! Never say that, that is an old truck (whatever it may be) and deserves nothing less than what was put under the hood in production!
