christmas lights

My wife came up with the "bright" idea (pun intended) to decorate the truck with christmas lights this year. Not to drive, just parked in the driveway.
Anyway if any one has some pictures, please post them. I need ideas.
Thanks.

Re: christmas lights

hey Tempest. Thanks for the reply. We found a Grinch who's hand is the same level as the cab door handle so he will be next to the truck like he's trying to steal it.
We also found a Studebaker truck as an idea. I will try and post pictures when the truck is done.
Keep the ideas coming. Thanks.

Re: christmas lights

the neighbours have already been asking about when the truck and Santa are coming out. We have an elf that we are adding this year, stay tuned...

The Grinch sounds good, be sure to post some pics

Re: christmas lights

JJH Jimmy: I like pictures with snow also. We had enough snow to say we had some - just enough to turn the lawns white, But more is on the way.
Tempest: where's your latest?

Re: christmas lights

Ouch!! My wife & I got covid in 2020 before there were shots. Down for 10 days. We both have never felt so sick.
Hope you get better quick.

Re: christmas lights

This is not about lights but related sorta, kinda for next year. Fellow car club member has a red '49 in aged daily driver condition which, come November each year he lists for rent for family Christmas pics. For $100 he'll bring it, with Christmas tree in the bed, to customer's house, park it where they want it and they can take all the pics they like to use in creating their family Christmas card. Don't know if he has lights on it or not but that could be provided. Cool idea I thought for making a little extra Christmas money.
