Black Pat. Pending 18" :: The 49'r

[SixZeroFour]

It's been far too long since I posted up a find - partially because I haven't found anything that interesting for a good couple months now. That finally changed about a week ago then I snagged this little gem off fleabay. I believe she's a 69'-70' and has never been assembled until today! Still has that new grill smell

The box is a bit beat up, but it's fun to check out the old school advertising.





Someone has hand written $25 on the shipping label but I'm not sure if that was indeed the original price or not.













Here she is with big brother






Hope everyone had a great Fathers Day Weekend!

Yes Black is the most common, but holy crap it looks nice on those kettles.

Damn! I bet the rubber treads on those NOS wheels smell amazing!! Old black grills are the best black grills! Congrats on the score!

Holy cow! What a great find! I love the orange peel on that finish. How cool was that to get a new in the box vintage! I really like the accessories display on the side of the box. Thanks for sharing that, brother! Hope you had a great Father's Day too!

Amazing score! It still amazes me that these are found unassembled. Black has such a clean look on this series.

Wow. They sure are pretty straight out of the box.

Wow. Just Wow.

Super nice time capsule there, 604! After the pictures, did you rush it back inside and hermetically seal it?

[Maxmbob]

Very nice score!
