Thanks,
I purchased that 2 page ad from ebay titled "5 years ahead" from a 1954 Saturday Evening Post before I decided to rescue the truck. Probably inspired me. They look the same except for the one pictured has the hydromatic and no Barden bumper. Very Cool

Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war.
