1946 Chevrolet 1/2 Ton Pickup. This Pre-WWII designed truck was one of the first off the line when civilian production resumed after the war. It was purchased new by legendary Northwest pilot Lana Kurzter. Kurtzer’s flying service was located on the west side of Lake Union.
There he taught over 1200 pilots to fly Float Planes. For over 40 years this was a working truck, pulling float planes from the water and moving them around his plane yard and hanger. Lana Kurtzer closed his flying service in 1986 and sold his Chevy to its current owner complete with its original keys. lt was restored in 2006.
