It will make a nice project to restore. It is 60 years old, give or take.
Great cool factor. It looks like there was another box on top that is gone. I wonder if it was a store display? In my 55 years of collecting, buying and selling I have never seen another one. I am sure it is worth what you paid. I am supper cheap and I would have picked it up for that. Nice score. If it were mine I would take it apart have it sand blasted then do all the body work and have it powder coated. They I would put it in my architectural office just to have something to talk about.
