CAR SPOTTER: Vintage 50's Ford pickup

This workhorse paused at the US Post Office in Thompson as I was sending out copies of the newest Icehouse publication, 'Popcorn Season.' It appears to be a 1951 or 1952 Ford F-series pickup truck. Even in the 21st Century, such sightings are more common than you might imagine. These wheeled mules were built to last, and last they did!




All across the Midwest, old Ford trucks like this are still hauling grain, lumber, and soil. As Toby Keith boasts in the Ford commercials, this is the truck that helped build America!
