Well, as they say: "In for a penny, in for a pound ..." It will be hard to recoup that money on a 72-year-old car that does not run (at this time). If you wanted a project, you sure have one now! Maybe the best thing you can do now is relax, go through the car thoroughly, try to get the motor running again, and just get used to having it. There is a gentleman in the Mid-Atlantic Packard Club who owns an unrestored '41 Clipper that is a true delight and drives beautifully. He decided that he would not restore it and he enjoys his car just the way that it is. I see you already have the chrome off and it is riding on new tires. If i were in your shoes, as long as you have a garage and an understanding significant other (very important), you can take your time. You may have bought the car on impulse, but that does not mean that you have to sell it on impulse as well.
