Re: '46 Metro

Ok, someone enlighten me, it appears to have non sealed beam headlight which would make it earlier than 40's wouldn't it? I though the late 30's was the cut-off, but I am not sure of the date.

I would buy that Metro in a Mew York Minute, if it was close and in Canada. There are enough parts missing to take the "guilt" out of a resto-mod build. 39

Re: '46 Metro

According to Wiki, that would make it a DM or D by the headlights. A lot older than the '46 advertised.

Re: '46 Metro

It would be interesting to look what is stamped into the frame. Either someone grafted on an older front 'cause it looks "cool" or the title was lost, and a ID plate and title from a newer truck was installed.
