Win This Truck!

Dayton's All Wheels Weekend will feature a vehicle raffle again this year. The vehicle to be given away is a 1955 Willys flatbed pickup. This truck has just over 50,000 original miles and still sports its original paint job. It now has brand new wheels and tires and new side racks.

This truck has its original four-cylinder engine, and the four-wheel drive works great. The transmission is a 3-speed with a high-low transfer case, which means six forward gears.

The Willys was purchased new by a farmer in Pomeroy and was used strictly as a farm truck for several decades. The lucky raffle winner will be the third owner, and will also get the original 1955 Washington title as well as its 1963 license plates.

This year's truck raffle is put on by the Dayton Chamber of Commerce and is sponsored by The Times and Adran Construction.

Raffle Tickets are $10 and will soon be available at several local merchants, or at the Dayton Chamber of Commerce office at 166 E. Main St.

The winning ticket will be drawn during the All Wheels Weekend awards ceremony on Saturday, June 18. Ticket holders need not be present to win.
