Bob Pillsbury has made several generous donations to our auction. The "Merry Olds" that you see above has been in his family for 50 years! In fact it was Bob's personal transportation in his youth!
While being out of commission for decades, this unusual and distinctive machine will be available in our auction on August 23rd at Burl Oaks.
Its condition and needs are currently being evaluated. It will be reported once completed. I can say with certainly it would be a wonderful project to bring to full restoration.
