I'm driving the Datsun truck I bought new when I was in high school (1977).
It looks pretty shabby as the orginal lacquor is pretty much blowing off as
I drive. I'm frightend to ask, but I just have to know.... when will this
truck be considered vintage? God I'm feeling old.
Second question (for extra credit): has anyone ever seen a Datsun truck
exhibited at a concours? Do I have a restoration candidiate?
I'm laughing out loud because I've received two letters from the state
(California) asking me to crush the truck rather than re-register it this
coming August.
Its been absolutely bullet proof and doubles in value everytime I fill the
tank with our monopolized, California gas...
