Oh... one thing I failed to mention about this evening. Aside from talking with a lot of people about the truck, I was able to meet two people from the truck's past. One gentleman stopped by and remembered being at the estate sale where the truck was sold to the 3rd owner (the gentleman I purchased the truck from). About an hour later I was privileged with meeting the 2nd owner's wife. She was really glad to see the truck stayed within the area, and provided me with a lot more history on the truck, especially during the time they owned it. As I've mentioned previously, they mainly drove the truck on beautiful Sundays, up to the local ice cream shop, and back home to the garage.
Needless to say, I might be getting a couple of things for the truck's book:
- A copy of the estate sale list
- A Baker Chevrolet (initial dealership where the truck was sold) tissue dispenser
It was a good night....
