Made for the Korean War?

Quite a survivor... especially considering the salt sea air at Martha's Vineyard. Surprising it looks so nice being there since 1953.

That craigslist ad photo of the back bed does show some rust. What does "Title Status - Rebuilt" mean?

Steve, I wondered about that too, so I looked it up (rmv.state.ma.us). The current/correct term is now "reconstructed", meaning it had a salvage and/or repairable title previously. The website says, "Title brands fall into two main categories: primary and secondary. Primary brands include Salvage, Reconstructed, Theft, Owner Retained, and Prior Owner Retained. In addition to the primary brands, secondary brands must be attached as a defining characteristic to a Title to specify, as in the case of salvage vehicles, the occurrence that caused the vehicle to be declared a total loss. A maximum of five brands may be recorded on a Title, one primary (often called the Title Type) and four secondary brands."
