Default More Rare than a Dusenberg 1933 Ford BB 1.5 Ton Truck Only 216 Made

Hi
I own a 1933 Ford 1.5 ton flatbed truck with a 131 inch wheelbase of
which only 216 were manufactured by Ford! To complement this rare
vehicle there is its bigger sister a 1934 Ford 1.5 ton flatbed with a
157 inch wheel base that only 908 were made. That makes them rarer than
most Dusenberg! These trucks are extremely rare due to the Great
American Depression, a time when grown men sold apples and polished
shoes in hope of making a nickel or two!
I have a 30 year collection of parts manuals letters photos and other
items as part of the collection. These antique Trucks were used by me
to advertise clubs on the New Jersey Shore. Presently I am engaged in
pricing the collection for sale. Please give me your thoughts on how to
proceed.
Thank You
Mickey

You may think they are rarer than a DUESENBERG (right way to spell
Duesenberg)but you could probably buy the whole 216 for the cost of one
Duesy.

Mickey,
Dog's right. Rarity is only one part of the complex equation that defines
what somebody will pay for a vehicle. Local car clubs should have the names
of some appraisers you could use to get an idea of what somebody will pay.
Here in Canada, there's Old Autos newspeper that has an excellent
classifieds section: www.oldautos.ca
Cheers!
Steve
