The past is back in a big way, folks. Don’t worry, disco is still very much dead and high crime rates don’t seem to be making a comeback, but two-tone F-150s with chrome racks and HiLites are, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it.

This retro package, called the “BFP Retro F-150" option, is available through in Cincinnati, Ohio, finally giving you a reason to go to Cincinnati, Ohio, a terrible city in a terrible state full of terrible things. But it’s not just a retro paint job you get with this package. To achieve a more late-1970s-early-1980s feel, Beechmont also added a 3.5-inch suspension lift, 17-inch polished wheels and 35-inch all-terrain tires. Beautiful.

Of course, good lights sit on top of a Black Horse rack to complete the look. And while Beechmont will retro-style any F-150 you order through the dealership, it recommends you pick up the XLT or Lariat trims for their flashy chrome packages, according to .

We are of usually when it comes to two-tone paint jobs. Our own Kristen Lee recently, and I tend to agree with her, because she is right. Even if you aren’t into the retro look, the two paints colors will still make your F-150 stand out, which can be tough considering it’s one of the best selling vehicles of all time.

Let’s compare this package to this nicely rehabbed 1979 F-150 on :

It don’t get much more ‘murican than this.

Good amount of chrome? Check. Big, beefy tires? Check. A ride height that will leaves the shorter cars scrambling? Double check. Looks like Beechmont Ford knows what it’s doing.

And if you’re not a Ford person, a dealership in the same treatment. Can we just do this to all the trucks?

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...
