Ford #10

Driving along Lone Oak Road, I spotted this old Ford pickup truck sitting next to a rundown house waiting for spring. Why number 10?

is it rust or a color?
I'm curious too, why 10?

Looks like a tired '68 - '70.
My guess is that it is an ex-DNR / State wildlife work truck. each would have had a unique number like that ?

Maybe it was used in old pickup truck races :)

Du fragst warum Nummer 10? Ist doch klar...der Wagen ist 10 Jahre alt...HAHAHA!

Nice one. It's so American I would frame it.

Great capture. This is classic Americana. An old Ford, knee deep snow and a mystery hidden in the trees. Maybe it was a "10" in its day.

With a little more time, I could come up with a funny explanation, but I am tired tonight after cheering Connecticut and Ohio State on to basketball tournament victories.

A big firm bought several identical red cars, and when the employess should use a car, it was easier to say number 1, 2 etc. than the license plate number ;-)
Have a great week!

The 10th one they owned? Nice shot!

Hm, so have you found the other nine? That Ford in particular seems to be enjoying the retired life as a woodsman, ha ha ha... Nice photo, by the way! The car lying around the winter scenery is a nice image.

That mahogany-colored truck seems to camouflage with the rest of the woods. It’s quite a fantastic sight! Winter can sometimes be a hassle, but it’s still a beautiful season people look forward to every year.

A few more pounds of snow, and that Ford is done for. I wonder if it still works or someone just really left it out like that. As for the number 10, my theory is that it may have been once owned by a company with tons of other pick-up trucks and they put numbers on them to know exactly how many they have, hehe! =)
