Re: Chuck's 48 Deluxe Sedan

I've been learning this as well. I've got quite a few from many eras and most don't seem to have the build quality of my 48 or my father's 41 stude. From my experience so far, Ford quality really went bad around 1957, GM around 55 or 65 depending on point of view. To me, I'd say 65. Especially the frames. What I may do is sell all the 70's cars and the extra parts and just run my 60's and older. What I've been thinking of doing is sell the 48 and then, after all the estate crap I've been dealing with across multiple states is finally over, find a real nice 48-50 tub. Thing is, "bird in hand" is usually best bet. These are just ideas...

For now, there's just too many here. 75 tbird, 78 ltd, 73 buick, 66 chrysler, 62 buick, 59 edsel, 59 galaxie, 48 packard, 41 studebaker
A lot of them use parts in common, but it's still never easy.
