1973 Ford F-100 | Stirling, Stirlingshire

The 1973 Ford F-100 is an early Dentside, the American pickup named for the concave crease pressed along each body side. It is liked for its plain working-truck shape, curved cab glass and open bed, which read as everyday 1970s America. This car is blue outside and blue inside, a single-colour scheme that keeps those pressed body lines clean in shot. It has a 5.0-litre petrol engine and seats three. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side and the front passenger steps out on the road side, which adds to its American look. Photography and film and TV work get an Americana setting from the open bed and vintage pickup profile. Its 1970s lines also suit period-themed events and music videos. A wedding or personal hire gets a characterful arrival. It is based in Stirling, Stirlingshire.
