0911Cct 1957 Ford Panel Truck Rare Find
Noris Carsen, our friend that lives in New Mexico told us: "When we were visiting the small mountain town of Pinos Altos, near Silver City, New Mexico, we ran across a '57 Ford two-door wagon, which looked like it was still used since it was connected to a trailer. Out in the field near the '57 was this old Ford panel truck. New Mexico has a lot of old cars and trucks that are fairly rust free, but the owners usually don't want to sell them. They almost always say 'I am keeping it to fix it up,' or 'I am saving it for someone.' That's the excuse I use for not selling when someone wants to buy the '65 Chevy Nova two-door hardtop sitting next to my driveway."
