Since Round2 has been induced to reintroduce the classic AMT 1960 F100 pickup kit (thank you Mr Goldman) it seemed to be a good time to throw in some pics and details of this whole generation of Ford trucks to help inspire some creative building.

And as cool as these Fords are, I really dig the Mercury M-Series versions..

I can't be the only one who's going to build one of these kits as a Mercury..

Can't always trust google image labels; the last two are actually '60 Mercs. Here's a '59...

Hopefully the other grills are a possibilty with this new tooling of the original '60.

Thanks for the correction, as I really wasn't too sure on the years..

I seen both the '59 and '60 model year being attributed to one of those trucks in the SAME paragraph!

Lol..the internet.. 

I was only sure of one thing, and that is that they sure were cool lookin!

Those are really good looking old trucks..I think I've only seen maybe a half dozen '57-60 Ford pickups in my lifetime..that panel truck would be neat also (maybe a resin caster or 3D crafter will offer one).

Several years ago I picked up a resin '57 panel truck, maker forgotten.

These pictures show a lot of great ideas for future builds when this kit hits the market. I was already liking the idea of this being reissued, now I'm really looking forward to it.
