The first new truck we bought was in 1955. A pretty light green Chev truck with nickel all around the windows and doors. There was a light brown one there and I didn't like it. She came in on the boat that day. They actually took us to see her first down on the wharf. Then they took her to the garage to wash her before they sold her to us. We paid $2600.00 total for her.
