Remove the drawers and lay the cabinet down in the back of your Ford...take pics when you get her home, and let us know her serial number! Looks like a 15-30(?). :)
Looks just like my 15-30 , Tiffany (or Gingerbread) decals! Only with the cabinet. Great find. I brought a White FR treadle home once following Charlee's advice - made it home beautifully! Do take the machine out of the cabinet - I wrapped mine in towels and put it on the floor behind the driver's seat. I didn't want it to fall or to become a 30 projectile if I hit the brakes hard for any reason.

Hope you get it - beautiful machine, great price.
