Old Blue has seen better days; the floorboard is rusted through in spots and I am not sure if the heat works, but it is a perfect addition to the country!

Old Blue
Old Blue was given to my dad after his first cousin's husband died. They were very close, and he loved daddy and wanted him to have this truck.

ReplyDeleteLike the coloration of the photo!

ReplyDeletePerfect farm truck indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love that truck! Great treatment on the photo as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible photo; I love the vintage look and I love how meaningful it is to you.
ReplyDeleteThat really looks like a painting. I wouldn't think of that angle but it works great. The old truck reminds me of my father who always had an old truck on the farm.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot...love the angle and color.
ReplyDeleteOld Blue has become art thanks to you :)
ReplyDeleteI seriously love this photo - it should be wall art.
ReplyDeleteI like it! The truck and the field go together nicely and the cross process looks great.
ReplyDeleteA grrreat addition to the country! I love it, especially sticking out of the barn/shed like that.
ReplyDeleteI love the processing, perfect!
ReplyDeleteMakes for a perfect photograph.
ReplyDeleteI love all old trucks. They have such great stories to tell.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot with the perfect textures! Superb! My dad would get a kick out of seeing that truck in person.
ReplyDeleteI'm just sure that Old Blue could tell us many a fine story too. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot!

You're right -perfect...for anywhere! We like to see the WHOLE truck, bloggie friend!
ReplyDeleteI, too, like the photo treatment. Neat when material things have a story behind them!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone! I am sure Old Blue has lots of stories to tell. I will have to get daddy to pull him out the next time I am home and get you a full picture.
ReplyDeleteJunie - I'll be sure to stop by and visit!
You all have made my day!! LOVE YA!!
Hi S.S, I like your old man's truck a whole lot!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that it is a 1970 F100. It could also be an F150 but most were still 100's. I am sure that if it could talk we could hear some fun tales.
My dad had a 1958 that we auctioned off before he died. A fellow near Omaha, Nebraska, in Ft. Calhoon, bought it to restore. It was pretty nice as was, one owner and low mileage.
..
Oops, Dad's was a 1968. Sorry about that. :)
ReplyDelete..
This is such a great shot! The colors and composition just speak to me.
ReplyDeleteLove the composition in that we don't see all of the truck and beautiful processing.
ReplyDeleteA really nice 'art' piece!
Thanks for your visit!
This is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteA lot of work to get ready for this car. I have experienced in my old Volvo 144 / 73. Great feeling in this photo.
