Here at Otto Ray Sing Classic Model Car Sales, our truck drivers are just as knowledgeable as the rest of the staff when it comes to classic cars and their value, and they have to have a love for classic cars too. Being out on the road gives them opportunities to scout out cars which makes them quite valuable to us. Generally they report back to the shop and somebody is sent out to check the vehicle out further. They are given agency to make a purchase if conditions warrant it, and in this case the conditions were warranted.
Sippie "Widow Woman" Wallace, one of our drivers, was returning from a run and stopped for fuel at a small Truck Stop. While she was pumping fuel this 62 Buick Electra 225 convertible drove in with a for sale sign in the window, and a price marked at $6,500.00. She did a little talking, a lot of smiling, and bought the owners lunch, and the car changed hands for a lot less money than that, and that car got loaded on the trailer.
Here she's showing her "catch" to Elias, our sales rep and appraiser. She's going to get a substantial finder's fee for this one.
