Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall Selling His Beloved Classic Car Through Facebook Ad

The Canadian Press, 28 Jun, 2016 11:23 AM

REGINA — Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall is publicly selling one of his prized cars.

An ad was recently posted on Wall's Facebook page asking $19,000 for his 1967 Dodge Coronet.

Wall writes that he loves the car but has to let it go because he's got his eye on another ride.

The premier is known for his hobby of collecting classic cars.

Hundreds of people have commented on his ad and shared it with others.

One person offered a trade for a chainsaw, another asked if Wall would autograph the car and a neighbour in his hometown of Swift Current wrote that she will miss hearing its loud rumble.

Many said that Wall's online ad shows he's just a normal guy.

"How is it that you are a respected politician but you aren't above putting up an ad to sell your car, just like anyone else?" wrote Jeffrey Wells.

Michael Drumm wrote that he'd love to buy the car. "Unfortunately I'm an unemployed rigger, maybe when I get back to work."

Wall responded: "I sure hope that is soon Michael. All the best."
