They are a collectors item, and the 322 Buick is indeed a rarity. However, unless your state allows some kind of antique vehicle registration, it will be classified as a commercial vehicle. It is the gross combination weight, not the gross vehicle weight that determines if it is a commercial vehicle. The GCW of this unit was well over the 26,001 breaking point. The only 5th wheel of that era that can still be rebuilt is a Fontaine. All the other 5th wheels of that era are obsolete. Fontaine used the same internal parts from WWII until about the mid 90's. It is indeed a collector's item, but before you get too deeply involved find out about insurance, a cdl and registration.
