Why're they called slicks?

Why are these model trucks called slicks? I have owned Ford pu's since '79, including a '63 F100 but I never heard them call "slicks" until I got on this forum. What does it mean?

That means you had better be careful of what you say. I was there but didn't know I got the credit.

That Ringo's pretty SLICK Himself eh?

See Websters' New World College DIctionary, 4th edition, Pp1348, middle of the R/H column, to know why Stick chose such a great & fitting handle for the sharpest [ IASOHO*] F-Series FoMoCo Ever built. . . .
