Personally I like the little deedle-balls that hang along the top edge of the windshield.

Pom-Pom fringe. I prefer the term "dingle-ball".
That along with the Mexican blanket seat covers in the low rider!

Thanks that's the best explanation I've heard so far and makes perfect sense.

The most fascinating thing to me was how far in advance they made these decisions and how long the process took from initial idea to store shelf!

Ours have made it as far as the garage.

When I was in Afghanistan, Pakistan,and India, we used to call that kind of decorated transport truck a " jingle truck " because of all the hanging decorations, brass bells and figures of various Gods strung across the top of the windshield. The truck its self could be on its last legs, but the decorations would be first class.

I don’t know. But I have only observed the red trucks used as motifs, not a decor style. Are people using truck parts as objects d’art? Are they using truck front ends as headboards? Are people using truck seats as couches?
