Anti-climatic. I scrolled through the pics thinking the red box would have a compression gauge, cylinder leak down tester, etc., but it was empty!

Several of my family/H.S. friends took ownership of their Dad's/family's dealerships (1950s - 1970s) in the late 70s early 80s (i.e. Ford, Lincoln-Mercury, Buick, etc.). Stuff like this was likely buried in the parts dep't warehouse.

Things get moved or at least inventoried yearly, that box looks like it never been touched. Not that it matters someone bought it.

It's missing the decals on the inside.

Not in that great shape.
Looks like it's been around the block once.
