When Ford needed money, they mortgaged the "blue oval". so there must be a lot of value in that photo.

I'm guessing more value in the truck it was on.

This was on the tow truck I posted earlier.

Both the Ford V8 badge and the tow truck are nicely photographed. I've always liked that Ford V8 engine badging from the 1930's. It has a wonderful art deco look about it. That tow truck ...wow. I wouldn't mind having that truck. I bet the exhaust note of the truck, and I'm assuming ....is a flathead Ford V8 is music to the ears .

Thanks for the comment lesmore..

What I liked about the shot of the badge was the red color in "Ford." Was the 4th of July. Although the truck is cream colored not white, it was close enough to be red, white and blue.

And I just now noticed it's a dually!

As a side note the lady looking at me was driving the truck in the parade.

After seeing the care given these vehicles I'm almost embarrassed to be seen in public with my truck.

It appears as though you had an abundance of photo ops., on the 4th of July. So glad you took advantage of it all. Great photography, my friend.
