Is there a way to tell from the pictures if it's a standard, super or custom eight?

Probably a Deluxe Eight. Not a Custom. Nice looking Club Sedan.

Nope, not a Deluxe but a Standard according to the Model Info info.

Hi

"Coop" Got to love the English usage in Craigslist ads, sometimes I can't stop laughing when it hits me just right.... Coops are where ordinary chickens stay, club coops only admit certain chickens that meet their standards....!

Back to the subject at hand:

A '40 Custom Super Eight 1807 Touring Sedan, a very choice model for restoration, looks solid:

A '41 110 'kit', some assembly required:

A '47 Clipper Deluxe, looks like a hard 67K miles...:

A '50 Super Eight, project, nicer 23rd Series proportions:

A '50 Super Deluxe Eight, Custom proportions, ready-to-enjoy, could be a great tour car:

A '50 Eight Deluxe, pretty green, ready-to-enjoy:

That '40 would be one fine project to take on!

JW: Are you referring to the 1938 in St. Louis?

No the 1 in Las Vegas with the 454 chevy in it.

I think the trim is Eight Deluxe - stainless on drip rail, bright insert on window garnish, seams on door panel

Yep, agree, a Deluxe Eight.

I love the CCCA license frame on the 1938 junk rod. If you have an engine and a talented wife the car could be rehabilitated. I'd offer twelve grand tops. That's over a thousand per cylinder.

Hi

Just out of curiosity, what would putting that rodded '38 Super Eight formal sedan back to correct specifications cost?

Presently, a fellow in Cleveland has three '38 Super Eight engines and parts for sale for $10K. One presumes a rebuild would be necessary. A correct transmission and ancillary parts have to be sourced as well.

As far as the interior, though presently 'mouse-fur', could remain until a later time to re-upholstered. Still, it too would be more expense eventually.

Ball-parks on eventual overall cost?

Steve

Might as well throw in a few '55's for today:

Two '55 Clipper Sedans, various condition:

http://mcallen.craigslist.org/cto/4889632134.html

The last looks to be quite a good deal.

One poor 400 in need, overpriced of course:
