Re: 1959 GMC "Ol' Indian"

I'm thinking 111K from the shape its in, might even be 211K. 25 years ago is 1988. 88 to 59 is 29 years, to only have 11K on it mileage would have been driven about 380 miles per year. Mine was my DD until 1996, I got in in 76 with 185K on the clock. It turned over 200K in 78 when I was driving it to Idaho. By 88 I had about 250K on it by 98 probably 300K (speedo broke at 230K and I did not replace it). Still a good story and good find.
