5/18/14 ROTW

I'm really partial to the Ford trucks from this era so it's not surprising that when I found this beauty, I had to choose it as Ride of the Week!

Here for you enjoyment is a beautiful, black 1955 Ford F100 owned by Jim Smith.













More pictures can be found here: 1955 Ford F100 4x2 - Jim's 55 Effie

Awesome truck, Jim.

Nice truck. Makes me wish that I had my dad's 1958 pick up. It had an old school 427ci and smoke stacks.
