What a cool question to ask, oakandiron! We're not into these antique trucks because they're a mainstream fad, that's for sure.
What I like best about the Blue Funk is a genre-type thing: My truck represents a perception, a time, a society, and a style in a universality sense. You know, simplier times, bright future prospect; determination.
Really, I guess it all comes down to personl times and memories. My dad had a '53 Chevy pickup from the time I was about age 7 to 12. That old truck, and now my old truck, represented a dream come true. Dad lived in the country when he was young and loved it. He always said he wanted to own a small farm, a tractor, and a truck. In 1964, he at the age of 35, He fulfilled his dream.
Those were good times. So, I guess the Blue Funk is a way of holding on to those good times and re-experiencing them today.
Hey- thanks for askin'.
