Old trucks make wonderful photo props, no matter what condition or state of repair they are in. Just driving around, *your* truck could even be a cover shot for Bride Magazine ... June 2008 June brides ... ah June brides ... ah what in the world is going on here?
by Charlie "Cletis" Hardin << click the images for a larger view >> The Texas Connection (the Fort Worth / Dallas area Stovebolters) planned on a trip to the Ft. Worth Swap Meet, April 12 and 13 (forum discussion). Cliff 59, 46sortastock (his truck will be "roadworthy in the next ten years Any way, while we were eating, we noticed a girl in a wedding dress and another girl with a fancy camera taking pictures. They were using various walls (decorated with posters, pictures, newspaper revues and the like) as background. They were obviously having fun as the Dress Girl was making silly poses and they were giggling like girlfriends do when they are having fun. Being the nice guy that he is, Bill (txlatx) Frey offered to let them use our trucks as background. They were ecstatic! The Dress Girl had gotten married the weekend before and they were on a "Trash the Dress" mission. They ended up only using Bill's '58. I took some snaps while they were shooting. (This picture on the left looks like every Stovebolters dream girl Since June is traditionally the wedding month, we thought this would be a good story. I'm also sending for your enjoyment a picture that I changed to black and white. It's Bill's '58 [ Gallery page ] , Cliff's '59 [ Gallery page ] and my '56 [ Gallery page ]. It looks like it was taken back in the day, doesn't it? (Wow, Cletis -- this picture spells R E L A X to me. I think Bill said you can hear the "Leave it to Beaver" theme song playing just looking at it. Great shot. Beautiful line-up. ~ Editor) By the way, we had almost as much fun as the girls. Thanks for considering it! Cletis
We later found out later that the "Dress Girl" has a name -- Crystal. Here's the link to the photographer's web site. Maybe we can find a place to order a poster of the Stovebolts above! Those would look purdee in any shop!. ~ Editor |
