Vintage Red

Today we have a classic Ford truck I happened to catch at a vintage car show in Bisbee Arizona. Seeing this red beauty was purely luck as we were down there on a camping trip and had no idea a classic car show would be in town. Sometimes you get lucky.
I would say this truck was one of over 100 classic cars and trucks that lined the main streets of Bisbee. Everywhere you turned you saw a piece of American automotive history. Roadsters, ’57 Chevys, ’68 Cuda, and even a few Model Ts just to name a few. If you are a car nut it was nirvana.
And of course I can’t leave without throwing out a few explanations of what Ford stands for: Freaking Old Rebuilt Dodge or Found On Road Dead. Yes, I was a Chevy guy growing up. Those from the mid-west are either laughing with me or taking offense. 😉
Unfortunately at the time this was taken I had not yet started down the HDR path so this is a single exposure image. Given that I still love the red color pop!
Until next time…

Awesome shot here Chris, love the deep red. LOL at the acronyms too, I’d never heard those before!
Oh the good ‘ol Ford vs. Chevy debate. We were pro GM in our house as well, so the Ford and Dodge insults flowed like a raging river. Thanks for the laugh, and the wonderful photo!
Wow, talk about ‘fire-engine red’! This is sweet Chris!
My favorite was always “F****r only runs downhill.” See you tonight Chris, please pardon the crudity.
Awesome shot!
I love classic cars and attend quite a few shows. This is a real beauty. Great job, man.
Great color and reflections!
HDR or no, this is a great shot! Love the shine!
Wow Chris, that red just pops! well done!!
Wonderful! My favorite color (I am a ginger after all…).
