I bet he can but I don't mind Jon regaling me ad nauseum at all!

Being the frugal types we are we kept many of these in service into the late 60s and even early 70s, so these beautiful, almost museum pieces were sold to be chopped and destroyed... not to mention our Studebaker US6 fleet which was also sold through the 70s after being stored new until the 60s. For one of these just run in trucks back in 1974 you'd pay around $750 with less than 2000 miles on the clock. You could also buy a White Scout Car with more miles on it for the same price.
