Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck

Chevrolet day today!

Here's a very sharp early 50's Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck. I really like what the owner has done with this truck with the colors and presentation. Definitely not a work truck color, but what work is this truck going to do? None! Just like me, this truck sings Coco Montoya's "I Can't Get My Ass In Gear" song every morning. If you don't know the song because you can and do get your ass in gear every morning, well just wait till you get older - you will then appreciate the song properly. Here's one of the versions on YouTube:[link] None of the YouTube versions are nearly as great as seeing him perform it in person.

I have three songs I use when my butt is dragging in the morning but I have to get moving anyway. This one and Stevie Ray Vaughan's "When the House Is Rockin'" and the third is The Skeletons "Play With My Mind":[link]

If your ass ain't moving after those three songs, have someone check your pulse because you may be dead.

But I digress. The only puzzle I have about this truck is the little toy garden fences on the sides of the bed. Ain't gonna keep anything in or out of the bed and IMHO detracts from the visual presentation. But then, I didn't have to pay for it so I don't get a vote. I still like the truck a lot. Just sayin'.
