Lot #117 - This windowless Tradesman was bought new at Harmon Motors Inc. in LaGrande, Oregon, for use by the Island City Fire Department as an equipment van. Title was changed on July 22, 1966, to the City of LaGrande Fire Department and in 1985 the City Public Works/Sewer Department took over the van with only 8,000 miles on it and outfitted it with a mobile camera device that would be lowered into the water pipes underground and send back images of the condition of the town's infrastructure. In 1995, with only an additional 2,000 miles on the clock, the Chamber of Commerce for the City of LaGrande took over the van and it was used until 1999 by the cleaning lady that serviced their offices. In 2001, showing less than 12,000 miles, it was sold at public auction to a local man who added another 1,390 miles and sold it to a friend of his in town, an Oregon State Trooper. The present owner purchased the van in October of 2002, and brought it down to San Francisco. By now it had only accumulated 14,756 miles, and while basically straight and rust-free, the van was disassembled and repainted inside and out. New rubber seals were fitted to the doors and windows, bumpers straightened and powdercoated along with the rims, hubcaps and grille. Original seats, manuals and service documentation are included in sale. Cosmetic restoration with 16,817 original miles.
