1951 Chevrolet 5-window: the road to Belfast (Maine)

On the road, Maine Route 3,  from Augusta to Belfast. Hectic with summer traffic because it's one of the ways people from Away get to Acadia National Park. I was still within Augusta when I saw  a '55 Chevrolet 150 parked out front of a house, for sale, and when I stopped the owner showed me this handsome truck. The deep green, a factory shade, reads black in these photos. Very clean truck, and the owner said it was a Maine original, from Eagle Lake, which is up in The County. Would certainly lose those wide whites, though. 
We admire Advanced Design Chevys. A 5-window was up for auction a while back.
