Doug,
That one is my Dads. My mother bought it for him for their 25th wedding anniversary back in the mid 1990's. It was sitting in a junkyard about to be scrapped. She got it cheap and it needed ALOT of work. But when my father was first promoted to LT, he worked on the truck so it has some sentimental value.
It sat untouched for a long time because it really needed almost a frame up restoration. Which is why we bought the '32 Maxim. That ran and he could at least drive something.
BUT, he's finally had some free time and put alot of work into the '61 the last 2 years. He has the rebuilt Waukesha back in it and I helped him put the front fenders back on last week. Doubtful he'll make it to Lynnfield this year, but he's hoping to have it roadworthy for the fall.
