And without knowing the make or model you can get usually be within a year or two on just a glance at 30's cars :laughing:

50s as well. 80s to an extent because they were all playing around figuring how to package good aero. Some decades are much more diverse than others. Depends on the body style too. 60s trucks are pretty diverse because the OEMs had these new wide cabs and beds and weren't yet sure how to make it all work.

Meh. You can do basically the same **** with 60s cars.

But all the geezers will start foaming at the mouth about "that one's obviously a Pontiac, GM didn't put that B pillar on anything else" because they grew up around them and can tell the difference at a glance.

I think they have done those for most states at some point. Texas edition badges used to be pretty common.

I think they also briefly tried letting people in Oklahoma cut out the dealerships and order straight from ford.

Texas editions are incredibly common. I think all the big 3 did some sort of texas truck at one point. It is however the only state id ever seen with its own truck until today.

Pretty sure that the only "official" state edition from Ford (trucks) was TX. Any others were Dealer created.

Ding ding. These were a dealer upfit option where ford allowed certain Oklahoma dealers to select certain options and made a run of cheap badges.

Supposedly thats how this badge got into inventory. Was ordered for one some guy brought to Va with him and was hit. When the body shop ordered the badges for it he asked them to leave them off since it seemed ridiculous and sent it back. Its been sitting here almost 3 years. I took it home to go on my wall of oddball ****.

that stupid "born here lives here" sticker toyota puts on the back windows of Tundras sold in Texas.

I'm anti-sticker and with you about those being lame, but that sticker isn't bull****. 100% of Tundras come from the TMMTX assembly plant in San Antonio. Those fivehead-lookin' bulgy units are y'all's fault :flipoff2:

Neither one of us lives in OK. :confused:

Every manufacture seems to have a Texas edition truck. Toyota tundras and Chevy trucks are the ones I see the most of, along with that stupid "born here lives here" sticker toyota puts on the back windows of Tundras sold in Texas. So gay......

I live WAY to close to the gaybay, :barf:
I swear ' the whole " name you're hood" gayness from the blue haired freak show out here is :shaking:

So here's a mental picture for the turdyota assembly plant worker's in Texas , ( notice that I didn't say
" manufacturing " plant?)
How much of the tundra was actually
MANUFACTURED from raw materials IN Texas?!
Love ya'll but report to the fail thread...
