Recently I rediscovered an old Ford coin that was issued in 1933 to celebrate thirty years of Ford vehicles production. The grill depicted on the coin is very similar to the grill on the truck shown above. It appears this grill design was in production as early as 1933 and continued at least until 1935. I would be interested in any comments on this topic. The reverse side of the coin is also shown. The coin has been sold on the internet for as much as a hundred dollars and a rebuilt 1935 truck is on the market for up to $37,000.
Are you going to rebuild that old Ford? It would look lovely with a facelift. I own a 1962 or 1963 EH Holden that I would love to restore.

Sadly, it’s not mine and the owner seems to be unaware what he has hidden away far from prying eyes. It is safe where it is but time is marching on. I have made a point in my blog not to betray the location.

The truck is in remarkably good condition–considering. Lights intact, windshield not too bad, etc. I bet with a little tender loving care, it could be running again. Some of our old tractors were much worse shape–and they ran after a little expenditure of time and elbow grease–and a few starter or magneto adjustments.
