The story is the vehicle was bought by a gentleman new, in 1950. It was taken off the road in 1965 and was never registered again. The original plates are still on the car.
The son of the Original owner inherited the car and intended to put it back on the road. That never happened and his children have inherited it, as he passed away 2 years ago.
This car is almost perfect in condition and had never been restored. Equipped with the 2nd year of the Rocket 88 303ci Engine and Hydramatic transmission, it cruises easily and rides like your couch.
Rebuilt parts that are original to the vehicle were used wherever they could be and after working on this car since late July, the only parts replaced are the Gas Tank and sending unit and the Water Pump as was expected for a car with only 45975 original miles.
After 41hours of labor and many more looking for parts it finally was completed this past Friday to the delight of the owners. They have decided to sell it and are trying to get the word out about it.
It will be with me until Sunday when it will get transported back to its home. After that it will asleep until spring. See it now or wait, thats up to you.
