Work on the 1953 Derham Formal

Posted by Stephen Houseknecht On 2017/6/13 22:15:12

I am happy to report some news on my Derham Formal. I was finally able to get things in line to get the car moved from the former owners garage across the street and into my barn last Friday. I had made the appointment over three weeks ago with the tow service to get it flat-bedded into my barn. They sent out a truck that was too big to fit between the houses and then had to send a wrecker and a smaller tilt bed. I had to remove the garage doors by popping the pins as the panel doors swung in from the end frames. The wrecker paid out the cable to get the car out of garage. It rolled free and easy and came down driveway very nicely. It was then pulled up on to the tilt bed and backed right into my space. Friday was a beautiful WNY day and I swear the Derham's grille had turned into a big smile being outdoors for the first time in 35 years (1982). Several people including both the tow car drivers told me that it was the year they were born.
