His are not extremely valuable but I would like to have a couple of them if I had someone to restore them. One is an early model Buick, Roadmaster. Another is around a 1950 Ford pickup with a flathead V8. My cousin is around 73 and will die and leave them still rotting away.

I believe all of them are still sound enough to restore but they will not last forever. He must think he is going to live forever.

I also know where a 1955 3/4 ton Ford Pickup is. It has always been stored inside and was for many years used as a fire truck tho I have no idea what they hauled on it. For the last 20 years it has been used as a welding truck.

It still looks practically new. The paint is still bright. The most striking thing to me is the tires are original and they too look almost new. I was certain they would have rotted but no, they look like new. Less than 6000 original miles on it last time I saw it.

I love the work a day Model A Trucks that a couple of my “neighbors” drive to work everyday. This area is rife with really cool old trucks.
