jud Posted July 21, 2018 #5 Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) Owed one when I was a kid, bought it for $75, kept it about 6 months, drove it to my summer harvest jobs then resold it for $ 75, was going to need the Mains re poured,'Babbit' and had no way to do it. Today I would have done it. Mine was rougher than the photo, had a spare on each fender and two hung on the back, also had all spoke wheels, like the photo.I never needed them, in 59 we had better roads and tire rubber.
