That 3 speed on the column is a modern "Theft Deterrent System". It sounds like a classy old ride.

That’s a beautiful truck. I would be proud to own it but it just ain’t in the cards right now.

Nice old Ford and with a 3 on the column you could park it anywhere. Not many people could steal that one anymore

I watched my Dad lay the $100 dollar bills out at the local Ford dealership when we picked it up, I was just 7 years old in 1965. Still remember it.
