THIS CAMEO PICKUP WAS PURCHASED NEW BY MY FATHER IN LAW ON JULY 14,1955. IT IS REGISTERED TO HARLEY DAVIDSON SALES CO. SEATTLE, A. OF WHICH HE WAS THE OWNER/PROPRIETOR. IT WAS NOT USED AS A ''PARTSTRUCK".THE CAMEO WAS HIS OWN PERSONAL VEHICLE WHICH HE KEPT AFTER RETIREMENT IN 1960. HE MAINTAINED ITUNTIL HIS PASSING IN 1969. HIS WIFE KEPTIT IN A CARPORT ON THEIR PROPERTY BUT DROVE IT VERY SELDOM. I DIDN'T BECOME PART OF THE FAMILY UNTIL 1974. WHEN I FIRST SAWTHE CAMEO IT SHOWED SIGNS OF RUST.I BELIEVE HIS WIFE WAS RELUCTANT TO ''PART'' WITH IT WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE. IT WAS PARKED OUTSIDE HER KITCHEN WINDOW. I CLEANED IT UP AS MUCH AS POSSIBL, TARTED IT AND IT RAN GREAT. I DROVE SHORT ERRANDSAND MY YOUNG SON WANTED TO RESTORE. IT WAS DISASSEMBLED AT A TECH AUTO SCHOOL HE ATTENDED.IT WAS THENMOVED TO OUR FAMILY WAREHOUSE WITH FULL RESTORATION INTENTIONS. HOWEVER MY SON SUSTAINED A LIFE THREATENING INJURY.THE RESTORATION NEVER HAPPENED AND I HAVE DECIDED TO SELL IT . THANKFULLY, Y SON RECOVERED FULLY BUT HAS MOVED ON TO OTHER INTERESTS.IT WAS LAST USED IN 2001 WHEN I USED TO CHANGE OIL AND PREPARE RUNNING GEAR FOR STORAGE .IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, LEASE CONTACT ME AT 206.769.5204..ASK FOR IVAN...
