Just to balance comments on the '52 'companion.' He probably should not have added those words but I imagine he kept it to restore it someday when the means were available. I think he's saying It holds fond memories and he would rather see it get the use it deserves rather than crushed for scrap.
And look at the price. $350. The bumper alone may be worth that.
