1940 Ford Pickup

Click on the picture to Z O O M in.
This truck was parked right outside of a Peets Coffee shop just a few blocks from my home in San Francisco. To me, it had recently been restored and it looked like a job really done well. I did not get a chance to look at the interior ( I forgot ) but every other detail of the restored truck looked great.

I could not find much information on this particular make and modeyear but I did find a quote on a site called How Stuff Works. It reads:

Improved engineering and handsome styling made the 1940-1941 Ford half-ton pickup a popular choice among truck buyers in the 1940s.

Ford’s chief designer E.T. “Bob” Gregorie gave the all-new 1940 light-duty trucks the crisp, clean “prow front” styling of the 1939-1940 passenger cars, and this carried over to the 1941 Ford truck line.
