I wouldn't say I believe it. My dad has always had a truck, and I
have a truck, and we both park them out front. I find my truck to be
quite handsome, actually, and the chicks dig it too.

And no I don't live in Texas. Though I'm sure it'd be a nice place to
visit this time of year.

If you look on further, you see that I saw one in am old movie. SWEET!
What a great looking truck. If you redid it today with a modern suspension
I bet it would handle good as well.

Had a chance to pick up (again, no pun intended...) one of these for a
HUNDRED BUCKS! The steering wheel said, "1903-1953 Ford 50th Anniversayr"

I was 16 and didn't know squat about cars. Been kicking myself ever since...

I still don't like them, but they have their uses. Especiallly when they
look as good as this Stude.

LOL! Usually I'm pointing to a sports car or a 'classic' Toyota.

Fooled you this time, eh?

Hey, wait. Last one was one of those "new" Ford vans (that has been on
sale in Europe for years). This is certainly cooler than that van.

And once was a Divco milk truck. I STILL want one of those!

1946/1947 Ford pickup truck, Mack pickup truck, International Harvester
van like the one Clint Eastwood was riding in, in the Escape from
Alcatraz movie, Crosley station wagon, Divco milk truck, I want one
each.Heh, I am not hard to please.

When I was in the Army, I saw some DeSoto trucks.

There is a snooty suburb city of Oklahoma City,,, people who live in
that suburb city are not allowed to park their pickups in their
driveways/in plain sight.They have to park them in an enclosed garage.

The same reason that all cars looked like melted jelly beans ten years
ago -- fashion. I can date an American car from the '30s pretty
distinctly just looking at a rear corner, but I need to see the front to
know the brand (and I'm weak on anything other than Fords & Chevys).
