The Ford Barn

I entered the pickup in a local Lion's Club car show over the weekend. There were about 250 cars and trucks. For some reason, all the trucks were in 1 class, no matter how old or whether they were modified or not. A bit strange, but oh well. It was a beautiful day and almost every vehicle was really nice. When they anounced the awards, we won runner up in the truck class. The winner was a perfectly restored 1936 Chevy with a hot rod motor. Even though it was a Chevy and had a hot rod motor, it was very original on the outside and a superb restoration.

All in all, my son and I were really happy.

I know you miss the yellow but every Model A pickup should be this color combination. Good Job.

Nice job, the truck really came out nice.

Very nice looking pickup. What is the color? Congratulations on your win at the show. Local shows are kind of fun.

The color appears to be Rock Moss Green...which was a standard color.

Just goes to show how far an A can go in a field of unlimited possibilities.

I really really really like those closed cab pick ups!!

bobgreco · 08-26-2011, 05:07 PM

Actually the color is gunmetal blue. Rock moss green is more of a green color while this one has some gray and blue in it although it is still primarily green.

Thanks everyone and have a great weekend.
