I bought the car in late fall 2014 with the plan that my wife and I would enjoy cruising around in our retirement years. Unfortunately, my wife passed away in 2015 from cancer. I have toyed with the idea of doing a full RestoMod on the car to make it able to do long car club trips etc. But I stopped the idea for two reasons: first, the car seems to be completely original and I thought it would be a shameful waste of a beautiful survivor. And second and most importantly I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a few years ago and I am no longer able to do the mechanical work on old cars that I have enjoyed my whole life and trailering the car and traveling to events has gotten too hard for me to handle. Two things are wrong with the car that I’m aware of: one is the brake/tail lights work intermittently, and second the car steers heavy and if I were to keep it I’d consider adding power steering. So, I’m selling the 1951 Chieftain, 2016 model Hull 18ft tilt bed trailer, professional tie downs, and all the manuals and memorabilia. I need to get $59,000 for the whole works. 651-681-7410
