1947 Ford Pickup

• The pickup is two-tone cream and maroon, with maroon fenders and running boards and glossy paint in outdoor photos from every angle.
• The chrome vertical-bar grille, headlights and front and rear bumpers are bright, with no dents or rust visible on the exterior.
• The doors carry painted lettering and the hood sides carry script Ford lettering with pinstriping.
• The tailgate carries a large painted western stagecoach and desert mural, shown in several close-ups.
• It sits on chrome wire-spoke wheels with raised-letter Sportster tires, shown clean in close-ups.
• The bed floor is varnished wood slats with painted strips, clean and unscuffed in the photos.
• Close-ups show the maroon running boards, fuel cap and Ford-script tail lights in clean condition.
• No interior photos are in the set, so the seat, dash and cab trim can't be judged.
• No engine-bay or underside photos are in the set, so the engine, floors and frame can't be judged.

Money: At $55,000 the money buys a glossy, show-finished exterior and bed on this evidence, with no exterior work to budget for in the photos; budget is unknown for the cab and mechanicals, because the interior, engine bay and underside — the areas that matter most at this price — can't be judged at all from the set.
