Default Re: Another Case of "Rare Does Not Mean Valuable"

Yikes, that's heavy dough isn't it...now if it was an L79 car!!! .
I wonder what the 4 offers are? .

Like how he changed the fenders and gate but forgot to paint the interior upper door areas while he had the paint work happening? .

Also I don't know how rare you'd call this as I'm pretty sure Canada built a buncha' the RHD units similar to this as TKD/CKD or PKD and shipped them to other countries? .

As a kid growing up in Oshawa, I remember the local 'Popcorn Man' had a new one of these in the same color although LHD. . He had some kind of cooker/burner in the back and a whistle constantly running that you'd hear for blocks. . Like the pied-piper attracting the mice, we kids would folow the whistle sound to where he was parked and line up in front of the pass. rear-side window and the old fella' would sell us bags of popcorn and Fruitella packs for 5 cents each...man, I'm feeling old now, he's probably been dead and gone for close to 40 years? .
