I started with this Matchbox 1946 Dodge Power Wagon:

And ended up with this:

  

2267

 

The name is one of the more memorable puns from Jay Ward and Bill Scott, the creators of "Rocky And Bullwinkle"

Very Nice work!!

(And in keeping with the theme does he wreck on the wrong side of the road:-)

I love it!  And the pun name is cool (I actually remembered that from the show, not sure if I should be proud of that , but I my age I'll take anything I can remember).  Just wonderful.

 

Nicely done weathering and load.  I have a red Powerwagon, which on my layout Navajo cops Jim Chee and Jeo Leaphorn have taken way out in the high country on a case.  It is so nice a model I have not been able to bring myself to weather it so far, but you are inspiring me.  Fantastic work.

I really like the truck, but I don't get the joke.

 

Did a search online and all I got for Edifice Wrecks was a demolition company in Watertown, MA, a performance by the Minnesota Dance Theater, and a band that opens for the Drifters. Plus pictures of this very same truck!  lol

 

Not even a mention of Rocky and Bullwinkle!

Rocky and Bullwinkle?  Definitely the coolest Cold War cartoon show - laced with multiple layers of humor and wit.

 

Boris Badenov (sp?) - a play on Boris Godunov.  Here's a shot of Boris, Natasha, and of course, Fearless Leader.
