Older 'As is' trucks that have "Character" from use are gaining popularity at car shows. I saw an International 3/4 ton this summer with a large windshield decal that read "Real trucks rattle".
This state is mostly rural so anything that relates to our Red Neck heritage is popular. Most of us grew up with old pickups so we feel at home around them. I don't like to see cars or trucks trailered in. They are made to drive. Many tractors at shows are still being used. I talked to a farm girl at a show, she was sitting on an old Moline. She said she grew up on that tractor & wouldn't feel right about 'putting it out to pasture' so she used it as often as possible in spite of having newer cab tractors. Farm girls pull at my heart strings with their country charm.
