1948 Ford F1 - Theodore
Evan Bloom's '48 F-1
It was early on Sunday morning in April at the Goodguys Del Mar Nationals, and I was frantic about picking the last Finest Five winners. I must have walked past Evan Bloom's '48 F-1 three times before I stopped and said "Hi." Evan and his two kids Hannah, 12, and Jack, 7, were sitting behind the truck in some foldable chairs. The kids were playing video games and Evan was people watching and checking out the cool rides driving by. I introduced myself and asked if the truck had been in a magazine. Evan said "No." We started to chat about how he got the pickup. He told me the previous ownerdid the restore, and he is putting his finishing touches on it. While we were talking, I was checking out the truck for major flaws like door gaps, Bondo, sanding marks, or bald tires but nothing stood out. The Ford was not flawless by any means, and there were subtle signs of wear if you looked very carefully. Although Evan's truck did not make it as one of the Finest Five winners, I kept thinking about how cool it would be to feature the truck in CLASSIC TRUCKS. Ten minutes later I returned to the '48 and walked up to Evan and handed him a CT Tech Sheet. The look on his face was priceless.
