Nick Winter Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 That is one great truck Jeff! Bet it sells a bunch to the PU lovers! Nick I can remember the first time I saw a Mecury Truck! Was around that same year. Even my Grandpa thought it was someones Idea of a joke until the next door neighbor where the guy was visiting told us different. The neighbor was from Upper Michigan originally so he had seen plenty of those trucks! Building the Canadian truck would be a cool piece to display and confuse those who don't know! Well now I'll have to get a few of these fords and maybe if Jeff does the Merc I'll have to get a few more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railfreak78 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Thats awesome as I used to own one like this but it was yellow when I got and I painted it flat black. I'd love to make a model of it but I only have a die cast and thats not really my style. I'll have to get one one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) Well, Jeff, looks like you'll be sucking some more cash out of my wallet very shortly here! That is, of course, after I get the Plymouth wagon. And the Jeep Dispatch. And, possibly, five or six more Metros...

Chuck Most Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I need to start checking out K mart more often, if they're selling cool stuff like die cast '65 Effies! Hey,Jeff? Maybe you could work out a deal to sell your stuff at K Mart! Right next to the Martha Stewart Collection... the "Jeff Ballard Collection". It could have your picture on it and everything!
