You're ahead in a Ford

Post by kf7mjf »

Found this commercial for 67 Ford pickups on youtube. Pretty cool.

Wow, talk about flashbacks! :D I was 16 years old when these trucks were new and I find them just as attractive now as we did back then. And the full wheel covers with the famous Firestone white walls really set them off. I still install white walls on my Ford's, when I can find them. The kids at the tire store with their body piercings and tattoo's all over their arms like them too. Hopefully they can learn that there is more to the beauty of a truck than 30 inch wheels, black sidewalls, black windows, chrome flames all over the place and skulls. WTF is that all about!? :hmm: Very nice posting, Thanks so much! :fr:

That would make you 29 when I was born lol. I remember bumps around when I was a little kid, and they must have stuck with me
