MANDAN, N.D. (AP) - A South Dakota man has brought his 1956 Ford pickup paired with a Minions-themed mini pickup to the streets of North Dakota.
The Bismarck Tribune (https://bit.ly/28vZq04 ) reports that Larry Zastoupil’s bright yellow vehicles were popular with both adults and children Sunday at Buggies-n-Blues in Mandan.
The retired mechanic from Aberdeen, South Dakota, says he spent three years rebuilding the 60-year-old Ford F100, including installing a 1989 Grand Marquis engine. He says he topped a go-cart frame on an all-terrain vehicle to create the effect of the miniature ride.
Zastoupil has driven the rebuilt truck about 20,000 miles to numerous classic car shows over the past six years, but this was his first time bringing it to an event in Mandan.
