My 54 plymouth and my wife's 49 chevy

 

My all original 1960 International Harvester 3/4 ton shortbox 4x4.

 

I had a '61 like that, but it wasn't the "fleetside" bed style. That truck was a real stump puller! I traded it on a new Subaru in 1981.

It was just too rusty to keep. Holes in every fender...

 

My paint is only 51 years old, but I hope to save it for now, just because I'm cheap. Not a fan of rust, but I do like survivor patina.

 

Here's one of mine....

 

Here's one of the 36 that I recently dragged home.

 

My 40 sedan

My Comet:

 

Awesome thread......had more enjoyment going through these pages...than the g.n.r.s.............this just kool :d

 

Mine is being whored out on another thread right now, but it sure fits the bill for this thread! How about a 50+ year old paint job done with house paint and a roller? Lettering done with a brush, and aged a long long time.... Can't buy patina like this. Well, you can, but you get a free truck with it!

 

Nice old Merc Mutt.

That's Schedler's in the background? They built the engine for my '59 edsel.

 

Two of my previous Fords. The 29 Closed cab truck looked like hell, but ran like a top with the original Ford banger. And also my wife's pride, her 31 Coupe. Original paint on the old Coupe. She drove her coupe all over town. It was her soccer mom grocery get'r when we lived in Modesto Ca.

 

Thanks

Yes, the mural is across the street from them.

 

Up.

 

90 percent original paint

 

My Roaster painted in the late 50's and my pickup early 60's.

 

Saw the '32 back in '04 at the Spencer, Ia swap meet.
