Patina...and the 1959 F100

Our Central Coast correspondent, the painter Chris Baker, has an eye for trucks that display, shall we say, patina. It's not a word that we really like--but we can't think of a better. We certainly appreciate plain old trucks that have been around a while and show it, but are still strong and solid, and seem determined to keep going. Chris found us this weathered, slightly beat-up, but magnificent 52-year-old  F100 survivor on a what looks like a foggy  (the "marine layer", aka June Gloom) summer day in Carpinteria, Calif.
