Street Trucks February 2022

WHAT A WHIRLWIND! The last month of brand management for Street Trucks has been more chaotic and fast paced than ever. We’ve hosted unique events, traveled across the country to national industry expos and completed at least three cover photo shoots that will knock your socks off.

The trick is, not everyone is the same. So, we need team members from all walks of life who have interesting insights into different parts of this crazy scene we’re all a part of. By the time you get to the last page in this February issue, we are sure you’ll agree…

HAVE YOU HEARD THE TERM “RED BOTTOM SHOES”? Well, we’re about to give you a free lesson in high fashion. If you’re a fan of pop culture at all, you’ve probably seen countless celebrities—from Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez and Meghan Markle to Selena Gomez, Blake Lively, Rihanna and Katy Perry—wear Christian Louboutin’s red bottom shoes. And at a price point of $800 and up, they’ve really become a status symbol for those in the market for high-fashion apparel. You may even recognize Ariana Grande’s song lyrics, “Happiness is the same price as red bottoms.” Also, the designer of these shoes is known for saying, “They completely change your body language, and you feel this sense of confidence from head to toe.” Alex Martinez knows exactly how important and show-stopping…

THEY SAY A CHARMER IS A PERSON WITH AN ATTRACTIVE AND ENGAGING PERSONALITY THAT IS TYPICALLY USED TO MANIPULATE OR IMPRESS OTHERS. They make specific decisions about what they wear, the color of their clothes and the specific jewelry they add to the mix. Most of these decisions are motivated by other people’s desires or current pop-culture trends. So, if you met a pair of builders who specifically planned out their pickup for someone else’s pleasure, would that truck fit the bill of being a “charmer”? In the case of this 1949 GMC 100, Michael Milligan and Jack Mullins had one purpose in mind when they purchased this project: build a truck that draws eyes from its beauty and dollars from the block. The Mecum Auctions auction block to be…
