This car is very original (except for the repaint) and it looks to have never been disassembled, most of the hardware is still brilliant gold. The chassis is very clean!

Very very cool that you located and obtained the original engine. That car has the makings of a very nice Six indeed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Is it wrong for me to kinda like those pulled rear fenders? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

VERY cool project, Glenn, and can't wait to see how it goes. Will be great to see the car back in Tangerine with its original engine.

Are you old codgers talking about the Parades at SeaTack and Monterey ?
I was at Seattle !
We drove from NJ and back in a '59 sunroof coupe. Me, my brother Robert and sister Stella.
Three of us in that little coupe !
My other sister Mary with her now 39 year husband in the '69 T that he still has.
I didn't go on the excursion to Monterey....they did.....but I'm a little foggy on that.
Given the times I'm lucky to remember anything.....
