1933, it has V8 hub caps but no V8 emblem in the top middle of the hood side panel.
Great picture, thanks for sharing.
 
Pics like that one make me think that I was born too late! (1956) However, the 60's, 70's, & 80's were good yrs. to be growing up. They will always be the "good old days" for me!

I like that truck pix! all the posts make me smile, too! ;) I still can remember, feel and sense some cold winter days back around 1963... Central Washington area... riding about countryside, gone pheasant hunting me and 2 of my buddies. one owned a black 1934 Ford pickup V8 FH... and we all climbed inside. lots of clothing... only heat was from the engine...

brrr!

i grew up in the 50's & 60's... on paper! some tend to disagree about the actual time frame... as if... still on-going. or trying... :p

Love that photo. It brings back some great memories for me. In the late 40's we lived on a ranch in St. Helena, Ca. One of the workers was a little Italian guy who had a 33 or 34 Ford pickup that he bought brand new. He always had a small mixed breed dog with him in the pickup. Every Sunday he would drive into town and take me with him. He bought 3 donuts at the bakery. One for me, one for the dog and one for him. Glad I grew up in the late 40's and 50's. I forgot to add that the little dog was named "Banjo".

these stories and adventures in old Fords from yesteryear!
 
not a ford story; but, I grew up on a farm in SE Pa. one time we went to visit my grandparents next county over. At this time my parents had a 1933-34 Dodge sedan, on the way home(my mom was driving) cars kept passing us and pointing and laughing. We couldn't figure out why. When we got home my mom walked to the back of the car and lo and behold there perched on top of the rear mounted spare sat sat one of grandma's hens, looked a little wind blown, but otherwise fine. We still laugh at that to this day.lol

Those children could still be alive today. I'm 90 and came home from the hospital in my father's '30 Model A. I have a picture of me and that car but I don't know how to post it.

Well of course they could still be alive today. Look at the "late model "cars in the background!
 
Here is another one that is really special in a couple of ways if you like 33 and 34 pickups, coming home and girls!

This reminds me of when my brother and had summer jobs at Cornell university in his '48 Mercury. We usually slowed down at a farm on the back road we traveled because chickens were always in the road... Then one day we didn't. We hit a dried out old rooster dead on. As I looked behind there was a column of feathers 30 feet high. We laughed all the way to work!
