they pulled the car around front today. the tires that were on it were alittle dry rotted, but they held air for about 10 minutes before letting down. should be long enough to get it on the trailer. i went and bought an electric winch to make it easier tomorrow when i go pick it up. good news is the block number matched the car's number, but i haven't checked the transmission. he said he thought the tranny was different, but still a twin ultramatic.

saw a tag on the back of the back seat that said 12/14/54, so this car is pretty early in the run for sure. the cloth inlay looks like it has been replaced once, but with the wrong type of cloth and color too. it should be that black with the star pattern and it is not. that is gotta go for sure stock is the best is say.

there was a bunch of lifters in the trunk and a cam shaft as well, also some bearings that wont be bearing anything anytime soon (LOL) and all 4 hub caps in perfect condition, also the spare tire as well....that has to be fairly unusual and rare to find still sitting there. all of the trim was with the car as well, plus some bonus extra Clipper tags, which is good as the front right Clipper is broken. also i am missing the TION on the right Constellation.

right now the car is a graveyard for a bunch of dead bugs, should be fun cleaning that out.

anyways, i will post more pictures when the car is home and alittle cleaner. overall this car is going to need some tlc, but it is all there and complete.

later,

Hank
