1959 Dodge Fargo pickup


Another from Alex Emond: ".. a gently battered old Fargo. I saw this truck in Kyle, Saskatchewan. A good looking machine, capable of highway speeds. I like it!" -AE [Fargo was  a Canadian marque; basically a Dodge that could be sold by Chrysler/Plymouth dealers ad mare usque ad mare]
I wonder if that paint is original. There's also this one-ton Canadian Mercury truck I saw in Nova Scotia a while back: an M-3, basically a Ford F-3, and a handsome machine.
Oh, and I found another reason to buy old trucks. Many of them. My 1975 GMC is spending 3 days on a Tommy Hilfiger catalogue photo shoot this week, and thereby earning her keep.
