Just wrapped mine up after 9 years. Shouldn't have taken that long, but a job, mortgage, school and 2 kids make the time slip away! She's been every shade of primer.

My 1950 F1. I brought it up from New Mexico several years ago and rebuilt it. It spent 30 yrs. sitting out in the dirt and dust. Now I drive it every chance I get. Its been all over the state of Ohio so far.

My daily driver

Marvin/TN · 10-24-2016, 03:27 AM

Don't own one now but have had a 51 and a 52 at different times. Used them as daily

drivers, to go to and from work, haul crushed stone, wood out of the woods for heating

etc. Wish I had at least one of them back.
