This beautifully decorated 1976 Bedford truck is part of the Smithsonian’s permanent collection. It was originally painted in 2002 during the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. The painting theme is the Silk Road.

We were fortunate enough to see it parked on the National Mall in the summer of 2006. Just awesome~
