HH56:
What attracted me to the car was it's shell.It looked straight and rust free,and it is. The trunk and floor pans are in excellent condition once one gets past all the dust in it.The glass is all there sans the rubber stripping.Some of the thinner side glass is marked "Safety glass". Was safety glass available in 1950,or did the previous owner purchase that too? The four door I bought two months ago has that windshield washer option also.
I still don't understand why one would pull the pistons out from the bottom,though? There seemed to be a lot of effort,time,and money put into this car,and then to have that take place??? You got me.
Let the ride decide:
LOL! Funny,what people will notice. I hope those ramps never fail given what's underneath it -- some late '40s Plymouth I believe (pictured).
...If you look at that ramp near the front,there are new brake pads that someone just left there. It's as if someone yelled,"Drop the Packard project where it is. We're moving in a different direction...". It's as if time stood still 14 years ago.
