This vintage vibrant green ’48-’49 Ford Truck awaiting restoration as a farm truck in North West Texas. The contrast between the shimmering chrome and rusty metal guard, deep greens, rust and beige creates a stark beauty with a little wire and sun-worn bungee rubber. Prominent Eagle ornament and bullet-riddled back window show this proud truck has been through a lot. Character & Texture abounds conjuring memories of these old pickups hauling and running errands in days gone by. I named it ‘Mean Green Ford’ in honer of my alma mater University of North Texas which used the term ‘Mean Green Eagles’ originally evolved from a previous student/player Mean Joe Green. Post fence and cool old station wagon in the background. Green grass & weeds in the foreground. Blue sky with wispy clouds. Original Artwork by Jamie Rood
