 Topic: Old Allis Dealer Auction (Today)
Posted: 05 Dec 2009 at 1:47pm |
It was a sad day for local Allis folks. The long time dealer in Missouri Valley, IA passed away about a month ago, and they had his sale today. He had been a dealer since the 50's. It is going to be strange not having the dealership around, for I have gone there since I was a kid. He officially had not been an Allis dealer since the early 80's, but he bought and sold A.C.'s and had lots of parts, and could still find what you needed. They are going to sell all his NOS parts at a later date. I stayed for about 3hrs. They sold some new stuff, lots of used, and in my opinion stuff went very cheap. I filled my dually truck for $104. I took a few pictures.

I haven't been thru there real often, but remember seeing an allis tractor (D17 I think) there at one time. I was wondering what that business was.

Sad to see another old-time dealership closing. I surely could use one of those gas tanks for my C, though!

I agree it was sad, but Charlie was doing what he loved right up until very end. And he lived to be 87, which is a pretty good run. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Brad was not listed on the on line obituary I found. I am sure they were related, how close I don't know. Dean
