Here is the posting for this car on Facebook Marketplace. There are many more photos of the car than what was posted here, and they are of much better quality.https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/429292229393490/?hoisted=false&ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post

I think that the issue with the driver's door is that it was just not closed all the way when the photo was taken. The body on this car looks really straight. But the huge issues with this car are the engine and the interior. I'm seeing fairly extensive wear, staining and moth damage inside the car. When you see a posting for a car and there are heavy quilts over the seats, you know what is being hidden underneath. Rebuilding the engine is one thing, but the cost to reupholster this car correctly will be staggering. The material alone will run into the thousands.

I would just buy this 1936 Standard Eight sedan instead. If you bought the 1935 Facebook car for, say $10,000, you would have only a $27K differential over this 1936, assuming you were willing to pay the dealer's full asking price. No way you would even come close. Of course, you could buy the Facebook car and just do enough to make it roadworthy, but I still think you would end up exceeding what you could buy the 1936 for outright. It all comes down to economics.https://www.ebay.com/itm/334625462881?hash=item4de93b5a61%3Ag%3ALbcAAOSwsgFhpYB%7E&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5337650957&customid=&toolid=10049
