Copenhagen is selling its old 50-51 New Yorker C-Truck on Ebay, would be good to see someone buy and restore this piece of history.

    This is a super cool old car it is a 1950 or a 1951 Chrysler New yorker. This car was new in either 1950 or 1951 chrysler new yorker, it was purchased new that year and then it was rolled over and they made it in to this race car and it won many many awards for the Copenhagen Cubs firematic racing team. this car has been stored since 1983 and was last driven that year at the field day to sell beer from the back. it is a fluid matic drive and a 290 hemi. it has a super nice old siren on it. It has Chrysler fire power v 8 motor. It could be used for a race car again or would make a great parade car or a great car to restore. It is a very nice style car with great potential and it has a great look to it. This belongs to the fire department and is being sold with the money going to the department. |

Too bad they have to lose a piece of history for money!!
They may want it back in a few years. Like most teams, they will regret when they sell.

This piece of history did not sell. There were no bids.
I hope someone gets ambitious enough to resore it.

Starting bid was likely "too high" for the general E-bay thing. Copenhagen should keep it. If the Cubs really want to remove it from their possesion, they should start it at $50 and let the bidders bring it up from there. It may end as low as $120 or as high as $1,000. Let the bidders decide... bottom line is nobody wants to spend $1,000 on it at this point in time. There may be dozens of folks with $50 and the desire to restore it. Let them battle it out.

Just a thought, maybe if the hat was passed at a couple of events, and I know everybody is looking for donations, but for the "preservation fund" it's a good cause. We had a fifty fifty last Sunday that brought in a split of $2400.00 total, a couple of turns on any track could probably let them keep it and restore it, better than EBAY!

We were talking about this truck in the stands on Labor Day. Whatever happened? Did Copenhagen sell it?

No it still sits and is waiting to be fixed, we are looking into the possibility of restoring it using students from our local BOCES.
