Amber-Rose has owned classic Minis, including the 1994 Rover Mini she bought at 17. But when she found a 1968 Ford called Florence, she knew she wanted something different.
The story
She bought Florence in 2026. The memory she chose to share is a road trip with her children and their dog, followed by McDonald’s in the back of the truck. It happened before they had to say goodbye to their pup, which makes that ordinary family outing something she holds onto.
For Amber-Rose, Florence is a truck for making happy memories. She hopes there are plenty more ahead.
The truck
She has already Raptor-coated the bed, replaced the headliner, radiator, alternator, starter solenoid and battery, and repaired wiring. A steering wheel, floor mats, cup holders and more stickers make the cab feel like hers.
What comes next
Next on the list are bigger mirrors, new cab lights and refurbishing the original steering wheel. Florence is still a project, but she is already part of family life.
