What kind of Cessna

The DC-6, C-34 thru C-38, C-145, C-165, T-50 looks like a good list.
They all fit the time period. I discounted the DC-6 and T-50, because I
thought they would be a step up from a staggerwing. but maybe he loved
his staggerwing and didn't want to give it up. Do professional pilots fall
in
love with and airplane? :) I'll get pictures of the above airplanes and
run
by my aunt.


I don't know about that. Beech introduced the D17 series Staggerwing in
1937, the D17S had a 450 hp P&W R-985. I wouldn't consider moving from that
to a DC-6 or T-50 to be a step up.



I remember my "SKYKING" especially Penny but for the life I can't remember
the name of the boy. Come the thing of it, I think of what Skyking's name
was.
Uncle something?


The boy's name was Clipper. Uncle Sky's full name was Schuyler J. King.
The show was "Sky King".

Don't forget the Spartan Executive, still a few flying.
They had roll up side windows, just like your car.

They weren't built by Cessna.

No, they were built by Spartan. But some of the other
aircraft mentioned were not built by Cessna either.

I was just mentioning a very modern early business aircraft.

All of the aircraft listed in the message you responded to were built by
Cessna.

Yes, a friend of mine has one hangared here. He almost bought the only
nosegear Spartan Exec but wanted a real Exec instead.

Did he happen to buy one out of northern IL? Polished and blue with a very
low time P&W 985.
