~ Sent by Searle Roscoe

We found it from the original family owners in The Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It was stored in a barn for 31 years with 47k original miles and title. My teenage son and I took it apart piece by piece and did a frame-off nut and bolt restoration. We did it in our garage every night after work and on weekends. We started Thanksgiving Weekend 2018 and finished for Toledo Jeep Fest 2019. We did everything but paint on it. Rebuilt, refurbished everything on it. This June We took 2nd place at the Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village Motor Muster this for All the 1950-1959 vehicles 356 total this year 50s vehicles. All the vehicles have to be factory correct period parts, color, interior, and accessories. It is still 6 volt and has all original drivetrain etc. Everywhere we go it draws a huge crowd and lots of questions. We keep getting invited to more shows all the time.
