An exceptional piece of Colorado petroleum and transportation history. This 1956 Ford F-250 pickup retains its original Riverside Skelly Oil Company markings and was owned by Colorado businessman and World War II veteran Thomas "Tom" Mangum.
According to the family, the truck was running when parked and was later gifted by Tom Mangum to the current owner. The truck remains remarkably complete and retains its original character, including period Skelly Oil Company graphics, service body configuration, wraparound windshield, and iconic 1956 Ford styling.
Whether preserved as-found, displayed as advertising art, or restored, this truck offers a unique opportunity to own a genuine piece of Colorado business and petroleum history.
