1946? Chevrolet Bengal Pick-up Truck

            (Added on 2/9/2022)  Oh how the times have changed and even my tune has evolved now that the Bengals are Super Bowl bound.  I guess I need to eat some crow for my sour grapes comments I wrote when I originally posted this shot.  I'm still not a major football fan, but I wish the Bengals well for the joy they have brought to the city this year (2022).  

West End area of Cincinnati, Ohio.  While this truck is fairly rusty and obviously not in mint condition, it appears to still be operable.  Because of local laws, I wouldn't think it could just be left on the street for extended periods of time.  Then again, maybe the police don't even go into this neighborhood.  My guess is that a Bengal's fan may use it in tailgating activity.  There were a couple other old cars covered by tarps or behind fences on the adjacent property.  

I was surprised to find it in the West End as my sense of the neighborhood is that most residents in that area couldn't afford a ticket to a Bengal's game, but I suppose that is not a reason to preclude them from being fans.  A much better reason would be that the Bengal's ownership has taken the city to the cleaners over the years which has claimed funds that might have been better spent to improve their neighborhood and provide much needed services.  Another reason is that the team has sucked for so many seasons.  

If the truck were mine (and I wish it were), I certainly would never have painted it with the Bengal's theme which I consider an embarrassment.  The team's uni's are the ugliest in the NFL and maybe all of professional sports.   Further the owners are such jerks that it wouldn't surprise me that they would sue the guy for copyright infringement.  

Can you tell I'm a big Bengal's fan?

The framework over the bed reminds me of vegetable vendors who used to peddle their goods around town in the old days.
