Is this a Roll Along? or what makes it rare?

With that interior color scheme - it's the GMC for bulimics. That's a fairly limited market, thereby making it very rare.

Didn't Frank Sinatra Jr. have a Roll-Along?

Ghastly taste in interior decorating. Personally speaking. The vinyl is
missing from the side so is that what makes it "restored"?

Me too!

And a forest green one, and a tan one, and a chocolate brown one and an off white one.

High heeled shoes to go with each color too!

I laugh at the kids with shorts with waists at their crotch showing half their designer undies, oversized T-shirts, and baseball
hats worn at any and every angle possible EXCEPT with the bill facing directly forward.

I guess the "oldies" laughed at us in the 1970's!

Rob M.

The Hamilton Standard crew at the Johnson Space center decided to let their hair grow long. The VP of the Space Systems Department
was a guy named Bob Breeding; he was an ex tank commander during Korea or WWII and was famous for telling people at the factory to
get a haircut!

The first time he came to Houston and saw us all he flipped out. He didn't want to mess with us because the contract HS had with
Nasa was a cost plus fixed fee with incentives for meeting goals. We never missed any incentive payment EVER.

He wound up calling us the Hamilton Hippies. Great guy to work for as he was a real straight arrow who spoke is mind.

Regards,
Rob M.

Howard,

You've brought back a terrible memory.

I always had a head of curly auburn hair but - foolishly - went for an AFRO at a local Hairdressing Academy.

Only thing anybody leaned that day was, pasty Irish boys don't need an AFRO. All seriousness aside - it not only looked ridiculous but, began the demise of my hithertoo healthy head of hair.
--------
On a matter related to the O/P: My former coach (a very nice GMC II - made even nicer by the subsequent owner) recently sold in the upper 20's.

I don't think this one is in the same bracket - at all! Not to say (without a close examination) this wouldn't be a nice starting point but - no way - this would quaify as a "fire-sale" off a $20,000. starting point.

YMMV

We just lost our local tank commander.
He was also a high school principle.
The kids loved him for his outspoken attitude.
Drove around town in his 1953 Chevy convertible.
The turn out for his service was over whelming
My Afro lasted about a week.
All is well with my Lord
