(Massillon, OH) – Leading truck cap and tonneau cover manufacturer A.R.E. has partnered with the Pro Football Hall of Fame to build a customized 2011 Ford F-150 that promotes the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s mission to honor individuals who’ve made outstanding contributions; preserve pro football’s historic documents and artifacts; educate the public; and promote the positive values of the sport.

Featuring iconic Hall of Fame styling, the companies have recreated the Pro Football of Fame experience by painting the truck with a silhouette of the stadium and remodeling its interior with material resembling pigskin leather and signature gold Hall of Fame jackets. The truck bed has been wrapped with images from the Hall of Fame Enshrinement Gallery, and a storage system houses artifacts and memorabilia.

An A.R.E. LSX Series fiberglass tonneau cover – covered in autograph signatures from dozens of Football Hall of Fame Enshrinees – tops the bed of the truck. In addition, the truck features unique upgrades like a fold-down, flat-screen TV, a hitch-mounted tailgate grill, sound systems, new wheels and tires, and a mobile satellite system.

“We are excited to build this truck with the Pro Football Hall of Fame, whose headquarters are adjacent to our own manufacturing facility, to celebrate America’s love affair with professional football and the tailgating experience,” said Bryan Baker, director of marketing, A.R.E. “Our goal is to help promote the Hall’s mission to preserve this beloved pastime, which we know many of our customers enjoy as avid truck enthusiasts.”

Throughout the coming year, A.R.E. and the Hall will take the Hall of Fame experience on the road by displaying the truck at various events, including local car shows and Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement events.

At the end of its promotional tour, the A.R.E./Hall of Fame truck will be auctioned off to benefit SEMA Cares charities ChildHelp, which was founded in 1959 to help prevent child abuse, and Victory Junction Gang Camp, which was established to provide life-changing experiences for children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses. A portion of the proceeds will also benefit the Pro Football Hall of Fame, a 501(c)(3) not -for-profit organization.
