all original over 50 years in storage here in Dallas, TX .... dusty and tired
But So lovely to look at her the way she is.......

OH MY.

Story please?

[Mark Pribanic]

Ibrahim,
Yes, very nice find ! As Kevin stated please share the story. If I may suggest, I would love to see this '52 cab get its own discussion thread. Starting with the discovery. I liken a good find to a treasure hunt...I bet there is a great story behind the find, and the current and/or previous owners who put it into hibernation.

Looking forward to hearing more about this cab,

KTF
