Dude was using a Chevy Advance Design series stakebed as a legit work truck. Bonus cleanest Stealth R/T I’ve seen in
a decade (sounded amazing too). Also some random Oldsmobile convertible that probably isn’t that rare or worth all that much.

Ooh, I like that stake truck!
Side note: Weird, how have I not ever actually encountered the term stakebed before? Always heard them called “stake truck” instead . Wonder if it’s a regional thing... Anyway, l earning that new term, juxtaposed against the old Chevy, I thought for a brief moment that it said Studebaker . Heh. “Studebaker stakebed”- I bet that’s a thing that exists. Sure enough, it does!

Maybe regional? I’ve always called them stake beds and never heard drake truck lol. That’s a heck of nice Studebaker. Sometimes I wish I was around in the era these were new.

Yeah GM made a bajillion Cutlass Supremes between 1968 and 1988. A 442 is more desirable than a standard rocket 350. Not rare. But these are decent drivers, if you’re into the muscle car scene. Good power. Good comfort. Well equipped, for their time. A good buy

I was under the impression that the drop tops were somewhat rare? But yeah the 442 sold pretty well overall, though I don’t seem to see as many of them as other muscle cars of the era. You’re right they do seem like a better buy than some of the other late ‘60’s muscle cars. I’d love to drive one some day.
