Bigfoot, the original monster truck, will be on display at Sullivan Tire and Auto Service’s location at 1 VFW Drive in Rockland on Saturday, July 11, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Photo opportunities with the 10,000-pound Bigfoot will be available, along with Bigfoot swag and Sullivan Tire swag while supplies last. In addition, a remote-controlled scale replica of Bigfoot worth $250 will be given away to a lucky winner of a drawing.
“Bigfoot is an American icon that has been exciting fans for generations, and we're proud to bring it to our location in Rockland, the town where Sullivan Tire was founded, for a day of family fun,” said Paul Sullivan, Vice President of Marketing for Sullivan Tire and Auto Service.
The original Bigfoot was created by Bob Chandler, who modified a 1974 Ford F-250 four-wheel-drive pickup truck beginning in 1975. By 1979, the modifications were so extensive, the truck came to be regarded as the first monster truck. Sponsored by Firestone, today’s Bigfoot is the latest generation of this legendary vehicle.
