1976 Ford F250 Custom, on the block at Owls Head




The truck is up for auction at Owls Head Museum in Rockland Maine this Saturday, August 22nd. No reserve . Looks pretty solid. Do not like the paint. Those painted hubcaps would have to go. It's got the right tires. Not much else needs doing, it seems. Better photography would certainly help. I really hate it when they cant frame the vehicle. Rule 1, back up until the vehicle fits INSIDE the frame. All of it. The whole thing. Give us details shots but we want a profile more than anything. We need the stance, the overall shape, the silhouette, the cut of the thing.
