9 foot box Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 I bought this car a few years ago with a Fulton visor. I was going to use the visor on my black 46 Bus. coupe. It fit perfect and looked good before I painted my car black. Now I can’t bring myself to install it on the new paint job. An acquaintance stopped by last Monday to look at a 54 Plymouth Savoy 2 door coupe I have and noticed the 48 coupe. He doesn’t have any cash, but would I trade for a 41 Dodge WC. I delivered the car today and picked up my trade vehicle. I was able to release the winch and roll it into his garage and he drove the truck on the trailer. I brought a couple sheets of plywood so he could set up a table on saw horses and check out what parts I had delivered and a new reprint service manual. He offered fuel money and lunch, we had lunch. I’m extremely happy and he was excited with his next project. The truck needs some things changed, but I have the parts to do any remediation, I hope. I still have the Fulton visor.

9 foot box Posted May 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) Horse trading is a reference to shrewd bargaining. It wasn’t necessary in this case, but I wanted it to mean that no money was exchanged. Just a a fair exchange of vehicles. Rick D.

Dan Hiebert Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 I was raised that "horse trading" doesn't mean a bad deal, just that each party has to be mindful of what they are getting out of the deal, not to blindly trade at face value, but I think OUTFXD was just being facetious. Anyway, if both of you are pleased with what you'uns got in the deal, then it was a good trade. Looks like you've got a really good foundation to start with (or continue) in that truck.

Sniper Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 You may not have exchanged cash but when you go to register that thing the state will get its tax money regardless. Nice truck but the question I have is this will the visor fit it? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintage6t Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Excellent trade! Classic trucks being a hot commodity; around here that truck is worth about twice the value of the car. I know that wasn't the goal in trading but as a bonus IMO you came out on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
