I have a black 2026 Maverick XL ecoboost. I want to get side stripes and other decals for it in cream. I was inspired by a Bronco that I saw (see image below). I already ordered cream letters to fill "Maverick" in the back. I was thinking of cream on the wheels as well. Anybody have suggestions for how to make it look vintage in it's style, like this Bronco did with just an old fashioned logo and hockey stripe?

There are only two choices for vintage wheel treatment and I doubt either are available for a Maverick. Red steel wheels with baby moon hubcaps would be my choice for a black truck. the other real deal would be Moon spun aluminum screw on discs and would look killer. Wheel offset is such that none of the real classics like Keystone, American Mags or Cragar SS wheels will ever be available. The wheels on the '29 A avatar are spun steel discs that were powder painted flat black and have 1935 Ford hubcaps. I built both of these cars.

Vinyl wrap or graphics is the way to go

I bet that was awesome!
Sounds like the old 73 f250 i should have never sold. 460ci with a 4 speed manual. it had the "G" Granny gear. 0-60 in 5 business days but would pull anything. I miss the simplicity!

Gave tribute to the old Grabber package with mine. Added black tailgate lettering, "Retirement Edition badge and Turbo emblems on the hood. Also did the red paint treatment to the calipers and rotor hubs. What has brought several questions at the cruise nights is the Lincoln engine cover. I just quote Commander Cody...
"Its got a Lincoln motor and it's all souped up." "That Maverick body makes it look like a pup!"
