Frank's Place | The Green Spam Can

Counter

The Green Spam Can was built by Ford in November 1991. The Explorer, still a relatively new product from Ford (first model year was 1991), was their answer to the phased out Bronco.

Texas snow (can you believe it?)

We acquired the Green Spam Can as a previously owned (used) car on 11-4-93 from a salesman named Jack. The mileage on that chilly afternoon was 34,808, but that would soon change.

And change it did. 2002 marked a record year, due to my U.S. Tour 2002 trips.

The Green Spam Can has survived two run-ins with other objects quite well. No one has been injured (or even present) in any of those rare mishaps, and at no time has it had to be towed as a result. It's a trooper.
