Be careful - If it's Fox News (Or any other news channel) it could be a lie

At least your series truck is in the top 5. The 53-56 trucks didn't even get Honorable mention!

Ridiculous, these idiots haven't a single clue. Nothing older than 1948 is listed, no Duesenberg, Packard or other 1925/48 classic is listed, and...

The 1925 Model T was not the first 'purpose built' (factory assembled) pickup, the honor goes to the 1924 Dodge 3/4 ton Express.

You mean journalists don't get their facts straight. I'm shocked.

I agree that the list is pretty bad. It looks like they are catering to a specific group.

Wasn't that a Haggardy article? Fox was just the messenger? or did I miss something. The link is gone.

You are correct Ray - it is an article from Haggerdy. Those guys should know better. A Hemi Superbird - but no Mustang? A 64 GTO? Seriously? Not the '67?
This list was clearly unedited filler. Another reason to avoid all of the news screamers - regardless of orientation.

Super Bird

But this reminded me. The constable in Milbrook, Alabama had a Superbird. Funny to see that with a blue light on top.....until it pull me over. He got it because the Alabama troopers had AMC Javelins at the time.

I was thinking the same thing. But shouldn't the CJ's grandfather be on the list instead of it?
