    I did wind up having this restored as it had been given a really bad paint job. My Father-in-law Kenney Gadd who is a retired professional body man did the restoration for me in trade for 2 free lawn mowings. I would cut their grass for free but they won't allow me to not accept the $15 for the work. So total restoration cost so to speak was $30. I did have this appraised by the Buddy L Museum, in the condition I bought it in, they gave it a value of between $200 - $400. A reappraisal after the restoration came in at $400 - $600. Considering that I only paid $40 for it I think I did pretty well! I will never sell it because having my Father-in-law do the restoration, seeing the joy that it brought him to do the work and the pride that he had in the outcome brings the sentimental value to $$PRICELESS!!

    Instead of hauling lumber, these days she's carrying my antique soda bottles!! :)
