History The Smith family. of Clinton MI. owned it since the 1950s. Mr. Smith had found a '33 SD in the woods. and he used it as a deer blind for many years. In 1954. the Salada Tea Company had a non-running 1933 SD for sale from their fleet. It was this car. number D-11 (as indicated on the glove box door at the time). He bought it and quickly figured out the issue was the fuse block. He went into the woods. pulled the fuse block from the deer blind SD. installed into D-11 and it was running again. In 1977 father gave it to son. who owned it all this time. He remembers as a kid sliding down the fenders like a slide.
