Low Patrol: 1974 Ford W9000 customized
Henry Ford said of the paint selection for his 1909 Model T: “Any customer can have a car painted any colour (sic) that he wants so long as it is black.”

In this video, Mariani recounts that this truck started out life as a mobile command post for the Tennessee Highway Patrol. He bought it used and went to work customizing it in the “American hot rod” style, but with the idea in mind of creating an homage to its origins.
Mariani takes a sharp turn away from old Henry’s quote with “Low Patrol’s” interior. It’s an amazing … well, see for yourself.
