Re: 1967 GMC Pickup - Museum Quality

I feel compelled to add to what Dave K. said. Items loaned or donated to museums are at risk. Management can change, which usually brings with it a revised outlook on the future of the enterprise. I’ve seen artifacts sold off to reduce inventory or focus the collection in a different direction. When this happens, true ownership of the item(s) is frequently muddled or intentionally ignored, and lost without any paper trail.

This is an unlikely scenario with an operation like the GM Heritage Center, but I’d be very concerned about loaning to a local museum.

Beautiful truck by the way, and thanks so much for sharing all the photos and history.
