Another Kind of Horsepower

We're lucky enough to live in a small community that puts on many social events during the year. The Annual Car Show is just one example. This year all proceeds benefited our veterans. The very first truck I saw was this beautiful 1956 Ford just like my Grandfather had and then sold to my Dad.  My dad still owns the old green thing and has it stored in the barn.

I totally understand boys and their toys now. Who wouldn't appreciate these vehicles. I wonder what Henry Ford would think about all this.

 

 I consider these the first Tahoe's and Suburbans. Yesterdays SUV's.

Notice the bed of the truck has a toy replica of the vehicle and then on top of that it has a smaller one.

 

There were cars and motorcycles everywhere and the owners were willing to talk about the work and money they had put into their prize vehicles.

Mike and Mikey kept the crowd fortified with hamburgers and bratwurst hot off the grill.

I learned to drive in this type of car.  A good ol' Ford Ranchero. My Dad still has it in storage. Now it might be too sentimental to ever sell.

 

 These little trucks are awesome.

My dream car. A little roadster. I don't care what color. Notice the "For Sale" sign in the window.  My brother-in-law said that's what charge cards and lines of credit are for. I am going to go buy a lottery ticket right now instead. Wish me luck!
