Wow!! You've scored a whole herd of wild pintos. Congrats on corralling those rare beasts.

I already posted photos of this pre-27 in one of your other Pinto threads, but it really belongs in this thread (so I'll post a couple of different photos). It is also a 6.5" pre-27 (S129601). In Jan 1955, it shipped with smooth presentation target stocks to Charles Greenblatt Co, NYC. The "diet" Coke stocks you see on it now were added later.





I wonder how close in SN are these two?

I wish it still had the Birdseye stocks...
