WD-40 Company and Chip Foose are teaming up again this time, to build two trucks that will benefit a good cause and to create new, limited-edition WD-40® Smart Straw® cans that feature some of Chip Fooses classic vehicle designs.
The first Foose-inspired project vehicle is a 1953 Ford F-100 pickup that commemorates the 60th anniversary of WD-40 Multi-Use Product and looks similar to the truck used to deliver the first case of the product in the early 50s when the company was called Rocket Chemical Company. The truck will be introduced at the 2012 SEMA Show and make stops at key West Coast auto shows and events before being auctioned for charity at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, AZ.
Proceeds from the auctioned vehicle will benefit two SEMA Cares charities: Childhelp®, an organization that provides services to abused and neglected children, and Victory Junction, which provides life-changing camping experiences to special needs and chronically ill children.
The second vehicle in this years build program is a custom 2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty work truck that will include Foose-inspired custom front and rear wheel flares, side rockers, and front chin spoiler, among other upgrades. Following its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show inside the WD-40 Company booth, this vehicle will be on the road for 16 months making special appearances, and then auctioned to help fund the SEMA Cares scholarship program.
The WD-40 Companys last three project vehicle builds raised a combined $400,000 for SEMA Cares. |
