Saw the Ford down at Motorland in Arundel. It was early April but felt like the first day of Spring. That bold, bare season--between snow and leafing-out--passes so quickly here in Maine. We're in deep green now, though still cool with fog along the coast. But Maine fog is more interesting than the gloomy old Marine Layer that presses down on Santa Barbara around this time of year. June (sometimes May) Gloom? Not in Maine. February gloom? That's another story. We're very fond of an F2 of this era that lives down in Marfa.
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."

Thanks for sharing this great post. Such a wonderful looking truck. Ford made some awesome trucks in the 50s and 60s. Have a great rest of your holiday week.
