Frank has
restored a new means, a 1949 F1 pickup, found in a discreet condition at a
workshop, took him home with intentions to hold him tight.
To say to
him a common but very reliable means from here the desire to keep it in order
to enrich his collection. The medium was polished to make the color shine under
the dust and opaque of the years: "arabian green", a beautiful dark
green.
Frank had
to revisit the mudguards that had some dents and some rusty holes in preparing
them, thinking of coloring them in black to have a nice contrast with the dark
green of the body and having a two-tone pickup.
The
interior was cleaned just because the bench was covered with new brown vinyl,
like the cabin sky. An alternative alternative to this medium is the long
handbrake lever that is at the center of the booth (not standand option).
The load
floor has been restored with new walnut planks and polished aluminum
reinforcements; the rims were repainted with the color of the bodywork and new
white wall tires were fitted, making this vehicle very elegant. The engine
itself, with only 40,000 mls run, 226 c.i. 6 small cylinders but with 95 honest
horses. The "restoration" also included a chromed "bundle"
for bumper and post bumper and mirrors. Only "license" but in the end
is the usual "touch of Frank" is the Tan frontal color (typical of
1948) instead of the silver one, but by Frank's greatest contrast made!
