The Old Ford Truck

We had to drop Jeff's van off to the mechanics for some work on the brakes. This grand old fellow was in the parking lot. It belonged to the mechanic's father and he is slowly fixing it and bringing it back to life.

What a great specimen! I like how you've presented it.

@kwind Thanks Kim! The back ground was very busy- so this was a great way to resolve that.

Thank you sooo much one and all! Thanks for all the views, comments and favs that put this "old fellow" on the PP. I'm thinking I'll print this one up and send it to the mechanic. It's interesting to me that so many of you liked the processing. It just goes to show how sometimes you do something in post-processing to "save" the shot and it turns out to make the shot something more special. Thanks again for all your great feedback!

@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole!
@vignouse Thank you Richard! I'm not sure if it's running right now, but if it was, I'd be your passenger!

@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian! Joe is very good at what he does. I'm sure since this truck will be spectacular when it's done!
