Just found what appears to be a really good deal on another Constellation that I will be looking at tomorrow. Anything that I should look out for in particular? I have to strike while the wife's iron is hot! Price is less than it would take to put my '55 in a similar condition.

The obvious stuff: oil pressure when warmed up? Lifer noise? Trans condition? Compression?

Padded dash condition? (if padded)

Age of tires (on tires)

Weatherstripping (expensive to replace)

Rust: headlights, floors, rockers.....

Etcetera.....

Good Luck!
