VINTAGE TRUCK MAGAZINE HISTORY - In 1980, Ertel Publishing founder Patrick Ertel bought a 1947 Dodge WD-15 pickup and eventually treated it to a full restoration, much of which was documented in the pages of Vintage Truck magazine. Now enjoying his retirement as a gentleman farmer in rural Ohio, Patrick has decided to sell the Dodge so it can be enjoyed by a new owner.
