Sometime in the last week or so, the following parts were stolen from the outdoor area where I keep the Kempner Power Wagon Museum parts trucks:
(1) Right and left front fenders; very straight and rust free
(2) Hood, all four panels; straight, rust free, and all latches in perfect order
(3) Radiator shell; straight and rust free with a three or four inch shallow dent on the left upper part - easily fixed
(4) Guard (grill); upper for use with winch, straight and rust free
(5) Radiator Support
I removed these parts from a '51 - '54 PW. Their condition was so good that I was going to be able to use them without having to do any body work or special surface preparation. I did not need the radiator shell but it could have been easily fixed.
These parts were in above average condition, and obviously were carefully selected from the available items. There were other items that certainly would have been taken if these parts were simply stolen to take to the scrap yard.
I find it hard to believe they were stolen by anyone in the Power Wagon family.
Can you say "Rat Rod"?
The Kempner Power Wagon Museum is located about 60 miles north of Austin, Texas. I would appreciate all of you watching for these parts to show up for sale or to appear on a vehicle at a car show or swap meet.
