John's 1935 1201 Coupe for Two or Four Passengers, RHD in Tasmania

Posted by JMc On 2016/5/1 6:23:57
In this project blog the subject is my family's 1935 1201 Coupe for Two or Four Passengers. It is a Detroit-made Right Hand Drive coupe; these are believed to have been produced in quite limited numbers.

My father obtained the coupe from his elderly aunt in 1983. It had been her daily driver since the 1940s. The car was last driven in 1993, and has been stored and neglected from then until April 2016. These first photos of the blog were taken in mid April 2016 and show the car with 23 years of dust and neglect.

From this point in time the restoration has commenced. I will take most responsibility for the car, but my father will remain involved and will help.

In the two weeks since these pictures were taken, the kind members of this forum have already been extremely helpful with advice and information, hence I have decided to create this blog in the hope that the brains trust of this site will continue to take an interest and help along the way, and also hopefully so the blog may be of use to others undertaking a similar project.

All the best from Tasmania; I'll be sure to let you know how it goes. :)

John
