Friend you have arrived. You have
worked hard and built a bank account that would make small countries
jealous. Since you’re a car guy, you are
going to turn that cash into steel, rubber, and oil. You are going to start a car collection. More than just an extra car in the garage or
driveway, you want a whole space full of automobiles to throw yourself
into. You have the building up, and you
have the knowledge. Now, what is your first all-important purchase going to be?
Should you buy the Corvette, the Porsche, the rare one of a kind, or the one
you have obsessed over since you were nine?
Well, truly you shouldn’t buy any of those. A vast amount of time spent working on
collectible cars is not spent on your back looking up at a big block. Time is spent driving back and forth to the
parts store. You will need a vehicle
capable of carrying said parts form the parts store. The ideal vehicle for carrying items large
and small is a pickup truck. You may
already own a fully loaded Big Sky Eagle Double Barrel Deluxe Grown Man Beard
Addition truck, but that’s not the truck you should be using. You need a shop truck. A shop truck is what a real car collection
deserves and will look right at home among your other precious
acquisitions.
Here’s Why:
Speed is your friend:
The Ford F-150 Lightning was introduced in the early 1990’s to boost Ford’s
sporty image. World champion driver
Jackie Stewart was brought in to help with the driving characteristics of the
Lightning. Of course, the Lightning
keeps its true truck roots with a very simple combination of big engine and
light weight chassis. Drawback? The
Lightning might be faster than some of your “fast” collector cars. Of course this means you can get back from
the store and install those parts even faster.
Keep it classic: Jeep aficionados regularly complain about not
having a pickup option to choose from.
There are trucks from the past that had beds though. The Jeep Scrambler keeps all the classic
looks of the Jeep brand as well as the incredible off road capabilities the
marque is known for. In reality the
Scrambler is a CJ-7 with a stretched frame thus giving the Jeep a bed. Not just a great shop , but it’s able to haul
all your stuff deep into nature.
Trucking beautiful:
Not all trucks are built for just doing work. The Chevrolet pickups from 1955
to 1959 are really something to look at. At this moment in history, General Motors was
designing debatably the best looking vehicles in the world. It must have been something to walk on to a
Chevrolet dealership in 1957. With its
wrap around windshield, a first for a truck, this Chevy has style that you will
proudly park next to any other car in your garage.
Oh, just buy the
biggest trucking one: When the
United States military needed to replace the venerable Jeep, they chose the
Humvee. To the civilian population, it
is lovingly known as the Hummer. The
Hummer was always better suited for the battle field than the Walmart parking
lot. Nevertheless, if you want to be
noticed and prepared for the Canadian invasion (oh it is coming) there might
not be a better choice. Uncle Sam seemed to think so.
