  • Not to sure about this paint job.

    This truck turned up on eBay. The paint definitely catches your attention, but I don't think I would want it. Too bad you can't see more details. Ad says it has a Ford six.

    If bright is what they where going for Nailed It. But myself I don't think who ever picked the color had their eyes on.

      Not my choice either. However, I like to look at them all. Sometimes I find an idea I really like and save a picture.

        That is smack dab from the early nineties. It was probably a really cool paint job back then, but it has definitely aged.

            At least the Speedster used natural break lines and had lots of shiny parts to break things up. But.....if you want to be noticed at an event either of those vehicles would do the job.

              Turquoise Green just does not play well with Bright Yellow, maybe the owner is Colorblind!

              And Maroon looks OK with yellow, but NOT with Green.

                Perfect for selling icecream!
                & that's about it.

                  I think it looks good and different. I guess the various comments mean that it is not original. Whether or not the paint job adds to the value will be determined by the selling price.

                    It will be a hard sell without more and better pictures. Bidding on what you can see is risky at best. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1951-Studeb...AAAOSwpclcq6du

                        Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Neither one of my eyes see any beauty in that truck. Now the lemon/lime speedster, I like! Just my
                        .02 worth. But then opinions are like belly buttons, everybody's got one and most of them stink.

                            My uncle never made bumpers.

                              I like everything about that truck, suspension, drive train, steering, interior, color, paint design. Everything except the outside mirrors. They slow you down and kill your gas mileage. ;-)
