Miss Nellie

 


My hero of truck photos, @mozarts_ride, has inspired me again.  Cary says that he "spotted "Miss Nellie" while at a local car show, back in 2019...She was proudly owned by a nice guy, named Brad, but was later sold to a happy new owner. Such a beautifully restored truck that anyone would be proud to drive down the road.. If she had a radio, you just know she would be playing "Take It Easy" by the Eagles..

."The 1938 Ford Half-Ton Pickup came with an L-Head V-8 delivering 85 horsepower with the 221 cubic displacement engine and 60 horsepower with the 136 cubic inch version. Ford came out with a 95 horsepower V-8 with the 1939 models. All of these Ford flathead engines had a two barrel carburetor....A 1938 Ford Half-Ton Pickup in pristine condition could sell for anywhere from $15,000 up to $40,000 or more." (Auto Museum Online, "1938 Ford Half Ton Pickup,")"

Thanks again, Cary!
