I am working on a 180 that I assumed my parents purchased new in 1973 from a dealer in Lecenter Minnesota. I was 6 years old and I think I remember it being delivered. When I checked the serial number it showed it was a1970 model. There are remnants of 3 dealer tags on it. I assume The reference to Stillwater was the dealer that received it new, the Richter reference was the last half of the name of the dealer in Lecenter where we purchased it from, and the Vans represents the local dealer in Essig and later New Ulm, all in Minnesota. My question is, at that time would a 180 have sat on a dealer lot for 3 years before being traded or sold to another dealer, or is it likely that it was used when my parents purchased it.
I understand that this is a question that the answer doesn't really matter, but it puzzles me. Thanks
