This truck looks like it's trying to tell me stories about 66 years of traveling the pacific northwest. The 3200 was the long-bed model. I understand that the length and width of the beds on Chevy trucks stayed the same for 30 years. Note that the grill is painted, not chrome. That was optional from the factory, I assume it was slightly cheaper. This was the last year before they went to four headlights.
All-new for 1967, this car is a long, long way from the attractive 1966 "Thelma and Louise" Thunderbird convertible. The T-bird was always kind of an old-man's car, now Ford decided to take the car even more in that direction by making it closer to a Lincoln product. Pretty much any two-door car made by GM or Chrysler in this era is considered a valuable collectable. Ford products, not so much. And it would get worse. The car pictured here is downright tasteful compared to the "bulldog" T-birds introduced later.
Believe it or not, there used to be a market for full-size cars with only one row of seats. Traveling salesman bought them. This was probably the cheapest car you could buy from the Big 3 automakers. You might call it The Willy Loman Special, except that Death of a Salesman specifically mentions Willy driving a Studebaker.
This car had Chrysler's Fluid Drive. This was a hydraulic fluid coupling placed between the engine and an otherwise totally conventional manual clutch and transmission. From a practical standpoint, this meant that if you were stuck in traffic, you could just put it in second gear and drive it like an automatic.
