My buddy bought this Warner Bros sound truck in Calif back in the late 60's for $600. He is the second owner & on the title it lists Jack Warner as the 1st owner. It was used to record sound on remote movie sites like 'Giant' featuring James Dean & many other movies. It's fully documented & he has pictures of James Dean, John Wayne and many others posing in front of the truck. It still runs but with a top speed of around 45-50mph he decided to have it hauled to his new house from Houston... good idea! I'll be taking more pictures of it shortly!

What a great piece of history [cl:cool:

No kidding! Years back he contacted them saying he owned it & were they interested in maybe buying it & they asked him to donated it to their museum. As you can see... he still owns it... haha! [ddd

Donate? I'll repeat for the hard of hearing... DONATE?

Write a check, or see ya at Barrett-Jackson... unless, of course, your buddy is Joe Walsh or Billy Gibbons. :cool:
