Very clever!!!!!!!
Very clever, fooled me. I would dearly love to have the real, old Ford truck. I had an old Dodge style side pickup that got rammed about 20 years ago on the Baltimore beltway. It had to be towed to an impound lot and my son said it wasn't worth having it repaired. I sure miss that old girl.

I thank you all for the great responses.
One of our sons was home on leave from the U.S. Navy and while going through some of his things that we have stored here were a bunch of old cars & airplanes from his childhood. This was one that I had never remembered seeing, and it was a very well done casting & weathered-looking paint job.
I started thinking about how I might photograph it as I had just recently taken a bunch of photos of old Matchbox cars.
That was back in the summer and this truck was still sitting on a table by my desk. The other day I figured I had better give it a try before the snow flies here. There was still some frost on the ground as I took these photos.
This was shot at 1/8th of a second at f 22, at 16 mm on a zoom lens. I had to move the table some, and vary the distance from truck to camera to get what looked like the right proportions. Afterwards I stuck an old Minolta film camera on my tripod to illustrate how this was captured. Taken in raw but no Photoshop, although I did process it in Lightroom as always.
The model truck, 1931 Ford Model A, is by Motor City Classics, 1/19 scale. As you may have guessed, made in China (but it is a nice, realistic-looking casting).
