I was in Hobby Lobby today and saw these items if any of you need stuff for your Christmas wish list.

 

My problem is I'm too much of a stickler for details. The picture is cool, and the wall hangings might not be so bad if the back window didn't look like it was grafted in from a 62 Chevy. But the die casts....yikes. The look like the truck version of Johnny Cash's Cadillac; one piece at a time.

 

Yeah, I had to pick up the die casts and convince myself they were actually Fords.

 

Does that 52 at the gas pump have whitewalls and full hubcaps?

 

I like that picture

 

Nah. Just looks like it.

 

I was at Walmart the other day, and they had (I think it was Revell) 1/25th scale model kits of a monkey face. Remember those kits as a kid? Used to be about $3? Not any more, this one is $20. But Revell is usually pretty true to the real thing.

 

I want one Ross. Walmart is a $300.00 round trip on a float plane for me.
No store on this island sells models. Even if they did they don't have glue.
PM me if ya would help and we will talk Bud.

 

Just by going to hobby lobby and searching "ford" I see they have a ton more stuff.

 

They have that picture at the local hobby lobby, I have been eyeing it for awhile, but the one they have has some surface imperfections, like melted plastic on it.

 

Just tears from a disappointed monkey face owner wondering how they got it so wrong.

 

Nope, they got it right. Matter of fact, looks better than the actual truck. Now you can wipe away your tears.

 

Blowing the picture up it does appear to have white walls and the three bar caps. I think I will be ordering on of those pictures soon.

 

Tractor Supply has a really nice F-1 blanket (appx. 3' X 5"). It has a nice picture of a '48 - '50 F-1 with the Ford Blue Oval and "Built Tough Since 1903". I have a 1954, but liked the blanket so much I bought one. Make a nice present for a gearhead. Merry Christmas, Steve

 

Does it look like this?




These are on Amazon for about $40.
