The Ford Barn

flatford8 · 09-27-2018, 07:39 AM

I love the side-by side photos. The parking lot where I work is filled with $50k-60k pickups. I like to park my OT ‘81 F100 daily driver beside them.....Mark

I was just marveling at this idea the other day when I parked my 2008 Mustang next to my 1948 Ford coupe. I was thinking what a difference 60 years makes.

I know how you feel. How far the car world has fallen in just 60 short years

Hauling a barn find home 1500 miles, Where's that diesel extra cab super duty!

I think 70 years would be parking next to a 2018 ford. I am horrible at math and may be way off. I randomly estimated that F350 to be about 2008 or so, because the really new ones have a cool intake duct or something like that on the front fender. I'm out of my league here. My modern diesel f350 hauler is a '92 7.3 IDI 4x4 5 speed man tran.. Now that's a TRUCK! But it isn't red.

OOPS! My bad! Your Mustang is a 2008. This is 2018! I guess I'm running 10 years behind the times and assumed you had parked next to a new car. I need to work on my reading comprehension! Bring on Henrietta the rubber chicken! (From a post on the A forum)

New car? Who can afford that? All my money goes to old cars..
Yeah, I had to use my fingers twice to count the year difference.

All these newer cars look alike anyway, 10 years difference doesn't look much different.
