That's a great find! Not too 21st century PC of course, (and I'm not sure I'd wanna cruise the 'hood with it!). But hey, it is what it is .....! (Was what it was? Whatever.) One question ... on the painted version, ain't that gal a little light?
It is near Jacksonville Florida. Go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Beach,_Florida Before the Civil Rights acts of the 1960's, African people had their own places and businesses to go to. .
Kind of rare, not many Africans bought them. Might bring decent $$$ on the auction site to a collector. .
I'm pretty sure they're not that rare. They're on ebay quite often. I've got a mint one that was painted, and I have 3 other friends with them too...
Hook that up on a vintage Florida tag and display that in the shop! Definitely a conversation starter, and something you might not run on the street these days. Too many people have such little knowledge or appreciation of some areas of history.
