Hi Racers.

This primer dark grey 1950 Ford F1 pickup truck was spotted just across the street from BPR at the Imperial Burger.






For those of you who haven't yet seen BPR, it's the building shown behind the grassy knoll in the backround.

Gentlemen, I understand your passion for lowered former utilitarians in gray primer but this body is NOT legal for Retro Can-Am. :smokin:

The relationship between a man and his truck is a beautiful thing.

I see that some flames are sketched out on the primer????

Hi Philippe, Racers.

The spirit of the hot rod began as the poor man's Cadillac. This was also somewhat true of early sports cars- fun on the cheap. What has happened since?!!!

MAYBELLINE (Berry / Fratto / Freed)

As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybelline in a Coupe deVille
Cadillac rollin' on an open road
But nothin' out-run my V8 Ford
Cadillac doin' about ninety-five
Bumper to bumper rollin' side to side

Maybelline, why can't you be true
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true
You've started back doin' the things you used to do

Well the Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford
The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more
It done got cloudy and started to rain
I tooted my horn for the passing lane
The rain water poured up under my motor hood
I knew that were doin' my motor good

Maybelline, why can't you be true
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true
You done started back doin' the things you used to do

Well now, the heat went down and the motor cooled down
And that's when I heard that highway sound
Cadillac lookin' like a ton of lead
A hundred and ten a half-a-mile ahead
Cadillac lookin' like it's sittin' still
I caught Maybelline at the top of the hill

Maybelline, why can't you be true
Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true
You done started back doin' the things you used to do

ThanX 8)

What happened since is that the House of Kolors went into business...

some of the kids that built the primered rods grew up and made enough money to buy paint. Many of the kids that had no automotive skills now have somebody like Coddington to build their six figure toy.
