Re: Fun with used cars

Big excitement here in Parkton. Picked up the world's nastiest 54 Patrician chiefly for the scintillating Gear Start Ultramatic to be used in a future project. Its 5452-4682 for those who keep track. A 359, complete power steering setup and tinted rear window are available upon request. Cheap.
The next entertaining photo: Clippy helped pull the recalcitrant Patty off of the rollback.
Behind Clippy is a 53 Clipper chassis destined to become the next roadster. Sometimes you win. The engine in this nasty parts car, whose body I discarded with extreme prejudice, was remarkably clean compared to the rest of the drivetrain and painted an odd blue. Yes apparently a recent rebuild before the car was "put up"; it runs beautifully and starts instantly. Even the carb is OK.
Lastly a 56 400 picked up from a friends estate. More about that later
