Default Looking for magazine article on Ration Truck.

Old Cars weekly interviewed me at Hershey about my Ration truck. The article came out
Around the beginning of April. I have not seen the article and would like a copy.
Would someone here have a copy? My email is. [email protected]
Thanks Wick

See this thread:

One theory is that many old cars were converted to farm or business trucks during WW2 in order to obtain more gas rationing coupons.

That's a pretty cool car! I have seen a few converted cars but didn't realize the complete purpose for them.
