Kinja'd!!!

From a poster I am going to hang in my classroom. Dude has many such.

The grille kind of says Ford, but the shape kind of says International.

‘69ish Ford, let down somewhat but not badly by the artist.

It’s a 1970s Ford F-series.

I think it’s closest to an International.

Kinja'd!!!

I can see the Ford too, but the cab greenhouse is definitely International, and look at how slab-sided it is.

I am corresponding with the artist and trying to get him to do an aerial perspective of a trimotor flying over Half Dome. He has a series of nat’l park posters and he’s giving me some extra consideration so I can hang a couple in my classroom. I’ll forward you his brochure.

Frankentruck; sort of what I was thinking. But the moment I laid eyes on it, I had to have one to hang in my classroom.

Only partly, I would say. The grille, certainly, but the roof is too tall and the sides are too straight.

Hybridized by the artist, certainly.

Slab-sided. I needed the term of art. That poster will hang in my classroom.

There was also a camper special that Ford did later on in the 70s where the camper in the bed was painted the same as the truck, and was also built by Ford.

This ad is for a 1973.

“Slab-sided,” says Shop Teacher.

I’d go with international. It seems random posters and such love dead brands for use of random cars. One at Walmart on top of the sunblock thing has a picture of an Edsel Ranger with a surfboard on top.

The very back looks more Dodge, though it’s missing the swoop, so it’s a mix of Dodge and International.

I chalk those differences to artistic liberty intended to make the truck’s appearance blend in with the rest of the picture.

Yes, I’ve seen that one - cardboard pallet display, usually by the front. An Edsel seemed like an odd choice.

It certainly attracted attention. Which, when you think about it, was the whole reason for doing the vertical grille in the first place.

I don’t know, but that grille is crooked.
