Would you count vintage fleet equipment rented out for special occasions, or just folks doing normal charter/rental?

The Flxible people will win this contest amazing the time and money spent bringing those back to life from the 40's and making  those road worthy they are as bad as most Eagle and Sliverside owners  lol

good luck

Well what do you consider running around :) This is a fully converted  1947 MCI Courier 200  I've driven

only maybe 50 miles in the last two years :)  Not pretty outside but it's still qualifies as old.

If you think Dave's is pretty from the front, you should see the rear, it is a classic!
(And Dave is pretty nice too!)
