Our Vintage Airplane Ad of the Week features A Man On The Move And The New Cessna 172 For 1958!

Great airplane! We no longer own her but we enjoyed her for 19 years.

$9,000.00 USD! Still was a lot of money back then

No problem. I have had mine for 50 years and still going. I always had a car at every aurport that I worked. My 172 is a 1960 model first year of the slant tail. Still going strong.

Who picks him up at the airport? Lol

Back when a person didn't have to be wealthy to own and fly an airplane.

Not many could afford $5595 in 1932, I couldn't in 1967 so settled for a 1947 Taylorcraft for $2400, and it took me to every province in Canada in 68/69 except Newfoundland, thought too much water to cross. But did get a 48 Stinson 108-3 in 1975 for $7500. Now I only have wooden prop from Tcraft to remind me of best days in my life.
