Equipment
4x4, Acetylene headlight, single sidelight, disc wheels, solid tires, leatherette upholstery, leatherette top. Richard Berry collection.
Condition
Amazingly cool. Sound but dirty and aged old paint. Grimy chassis and drivetrain. T-head four cylinder power. Open cab body with no load bed. Ugly but sound and imposing.
Market commentary
As cool as the White (Lot #287) was, this FWD was far more involved and entertaining. Like the White it had no cargo bed so the panoply of iron mongery that made it go and (sort of) stop was out there and visible. Those old enough can remember gigantic solid tire lumps like this on the roads in the early 1950s delivering coal and sand. It isn't beautiful, but it has style and purpose that no Cameo comes close to expressing. Very cool.
