AI Listing Summary

A rare 1935 Ford 1½-ton drop-side truck, restored over 55 years with meticulous attention to detail, including the original engine and period-correct signwriting. Despite recent minor rear paint scuffing, it's road legal and historically significant with a well-documented provenance from new.
