Sunday turned out to be a pretty nice day, so I shook the dust off my motorcycle and went out for a ride. Coming home I ran across this little beauty. There was no information and no for sale sign (even though she was parked at a classic car dealer) but it appears to me she'd be happier (and less dusty) in a loving home.

 

Very nice!

Okay, I'll make all the obvious assumptions....

1953 Deluxe Cab with a 6cyl.
Hood has been changed.
Aftermarket auxiliary fuel tank.
Either an F-100 with a rear axel swap, or an F-250 with the before mentioned hood swap.

I'd take it. It looks well done.

 

Hubcaps (painted argent) are from either a 1961/66 F100 or F250 2WD (depending on the lug nuts), the letters were originally painted red.

 

That's what I was thinking. I thought about prying off the front hubcaps, but...security cameras and all that.

 

Aren't those outie hubcaps? Or did they have innie wheels for 61/66 wheels.
I would say the rims are newer because of this. (I think I see outies on the rear)
How do you get deluxe cab? No stainless on the windshield.

I would guess F-250 with a hood swap.

So Jack, do you remember the dealer name? Maybe they have something online.
Just looked closer at the picture. It's not on his web page:
JMJ Automotive Used Cars Rochester WA 98579 Centralia 98531 Olympia

My guess is that he uses it for parades and such.

 

Teeth in the grille and stainless division bar and frame around the wing glass.

 

Wow Effie Trucker is really good at this game! This is fun! (Now to start digging up some more pictures....)

 

 

1953 Mercury

 

Hi e pic! Your truck? If not where did the picture come from?

 

Hallmark movie "Christmas at Evergreen".
Nice but too pretty for me! Ha!

 

If it's a Mercury where is the lettering on the hood nose..?

 

Don't know about that but when "googled" it says it is a Mercury,
was adding to:

Hey Fomoko1 !

What'cha think? Maybe a new theme for a thread--"What Am I?"---with a picture or 2...

Sure, we might have to show only half the picture to members like EffieT or abe, and only 5 or 6 pixels to NumberDummy, just to make it fair for everyone else. But, after that we could have a pretty good challenge game going on...

Anything catch your eye in this capture from the movie Armageddon?
