75 years on the job - Ford AA Truck
75 years on the job - a Ford AA Truck
Today afternoon we came across another legend. It stood there in the middle of the busy and noise inner city traffic of Montevideo and simply did it's job. As it did for the last 75 years: A Ford AA Truck.

The driver Carlos allowed us to take pictures and seemed to be used to the admiration we gave his vehicle. The Ford truck has been in the family for at least three generation, Carlos told us and I could sense a little pride in his voice as he spoke about the van. His grandfather already used it as a daily work machine.
