Its actually beautiful, but granted sad at the same time. I sure hope its a temp thing and there are plastic liners protecting the truck under all the plants.

The "flower Truck" is part of the landscape display for a small Mom and Pop motel. I'm not due to be back to the Spring Green area until next summer. I usually make 2 or 3 trips there to see the APT plays--most seasons we see them all. On my next visit, I could make some inquires. I'll put together a little shopping list. Abe wants the mirrors...the running boards look a little rough, but hey they could probably be repaired.

If they had it probably wouldn't be sitting there and parked in the driveway waiting for the next journey..

I was back in the Spring Green area again, and this time actually stayed in the motel that had the "Flower truck". There's been some changes.

This is about where the old Ford used to be:




This is what has been added:




I wasn't able to talk with the owner, so unfortunately can't share the story of what became of the old Ford. I always checked on it over the years when visiting Spring Green, and it didn't seem to be deteriorating too badly. It was holding up at least as well as I was. LOL.
