Looks great like a real truck working in the dirt 

Ted - I LOVE it!!!!!!  Thank you!!!!!

I found two Pontiac Firebirds on Ebay a few years ago the same years as the ones Sylvia and I had (95 & 98).  I found some GM paint in the right colors (wine and bright green metallic) to make these models look just like our cars looked!

Our Dalmatian Mick (RIP) joined the Air Force and guarded the gate to Liberty AFB from the back of a Security Police pick-up truck!

Here are some autosI picked up at CVS and Riteaid, made by Wellys and Kinsmart. The white  chevy has been customized with water decals by walthers into a Southern Pacific work truck

I'm still looking for a 1970 1/2 Firebird Formula 400 in S scale for my layout.  I bought one of the first ones in Utah (Aegean blue) and promptly drove it to our new home in Illinois.  It drew crowds at every stop.

Wow', a little push is all we needed', and the thread is back to life'...

Here are two of my all time favorites'. The 1949 Ford, 2dr Coupe, in jet Black.

The 1951 Ford F1 Pickup. Picked these up from Diecast Direct a few months back'..  Legend has it that the 51 Ford PU was a smoother ride then the Caddy of the day'...😃

Here's a Corvette I bought at Cracker Barrel Restaurant's gift shop.... $5.00.  It always pays to browse. The trash truck behind the Corvette was purchased at a convenience store.  I weathered the truck to give it a "trashy" appearance.    

Mr. Cool stands beside his Corvette.  

Mr. Cool ad mires this motorcycle with a side car.  Side car is not visible in the photo. 

A train show purchase. 

Here's the welcoming committee standing proudly by their chariot of trash collection.

Patrick. Nice vette and a good price and I’m sure you had Good meal too thanks for posting those pics 

Ted. Sorry I skip you love those Ford two of my favorite years love that shoe box 51 Ford 

found this 1953 Flying A pickup, have been looking for Flying A pieces for layout as I ran a station back in the 60's, hope to recreate it on the layout someday

Love those late '40's - early '50's Fords.

Ray - Have you seen this "Flying A" ?  (I think I can paste the link because they are a Forum sponsor)

Richie, nice haven't seen that before, those are a couple of great scenes, I'm with you on the 40's and 50's just wish there were more to choose from

thanks

Thanks, Ray - that white Tydol "Flying A" pick-up looks like something you might want to add to your collection. 

I'm trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on this beverage truck. There's also a similar one for orange "Whistle" soda.

The Chevy is on order, was looking at those beverage trucks but would have to repaint to match my brewery
