    It deserves to be restored as a historical artifact.

    without p***ing any judgments... I dough if there is very much at all that survives from the '39 exposition, except for the island itself. IF the mechanical rodeo is still in tact in there you could be looking at a vehicle with big time historical significance.

    Sure looks like the light blue one has remnants of red and yellow paint under the blue, so it may be the same vehicle. The yellow and red one looks to have light blue paint under the yellow and red on the trailer...

    The beautiful thing about the HAMB is the sheer variety of truly interesting hardware that shows up.

    Not a hot rod but it's certainly a 'custom', and a snapshot of the way Things Used To Be.

    If one needed a hauler for a small vintage formula or sports-racer...probably not an ideal ch***is/body for trying to get to the places one wants to haul dirt bikes or quads around to...

    Cannot believe how some of you girls do not recognize a diamond in the rough. The paint job may be ugly but that truck is a true "Art Deco" design. A perfect truck for Mr. Barry Weiss.
