Thanks, I'll get the numbers off them this week and post them up.
The '49 4 door I bought back in 2000 from a wrecking yard and was sitting on top of a shipping container since the early 70's with a Hudson Hornet.... long story short they closed up and if nobody wanted them they were going to scrap, so I gave him $200 and drug her home. It was last driven in '63 (by the National Park sticker in the window) after that time the motor was pulled for a rebuild. The owner died in '66, rebuilt motor was placed in trunk and she was hauled off to the wrecking yard to live the rest of her life atop a storage/shipping container. Overall shape would be considered poor due to just sitting but it is complete. Since having it on the ground for the last 9 years it has really started to get bad.
The '49/'50? 2 door is in better shape and was found in a barn a few houses down from my in-laws house when the owner decided he wanted them gone.... the only catch with it was that I had to take the '52 2 door also. Both of the cars are runners but the interiors are ruined due to time and rodents.
