•This is the really hard to findNO RUSTLos Angeles, CA made, 100% stock, unmolested, 69-year-old DodgeB-Series,5-Window pickup that is regularly driven by the 3rdowner.

It has low 62,400 original miles and has lived almost its entire life in the desert (on a farm west of Mojave, CA& in Valencia, CA), before being brought to Traverse City, MI to usefor our brewery marketing.
